<div style="CLEAR: both">Just saw Mr. Frank perform at the Steppenwolf Theater in Chicago. It was a good venue for his performance, and the show was great. Last time I saw him was in 2004. That his health problems have taken a toll on him physically is apparent. Yet, his work remains quite strong and he seemed to be in good form. The performance was good.</div>

<div style="CLEAR: both">Joe was accompanied by a talented jazz guitarist who also used some tracked drum and other accompaniment. The guitarist sounded to me like the guy whose licks I so enjoyed on Joe piece "PHILIOSOPHY," I wonder if it was the same guy. Sure sounded like him.</div>
