notes
Frank Salamone is a singer/songwriter/guitarist who's been living with MS for several years, and hasn't been able to play or perform since the late 80's. He had a substantial following as a regional fingerstyle blues artist in the Midwest in the 70's and 80's, both as a solo act and with the duo "Suitcase", with Jimmie Stagger on vocals, guitar, bottleneck guitar, mandolin.
Some of the tunes on "Rhymes with Alimony" are duets with Martin Grosswendt and Stagger; other friends assist as well. A few are live cuts, mostly from gigs at the Canterbury House in Kalamazoo, and also one from Frank's last gig in Grand Rapids in 1987. The remainder were cut live in the studio, some recorded as demos, some just for the fun of it. The result is an unpretentious sampling from the repertoire of an eclectic and creative artist, whose many friends welcome this release as another reminder of Frank's heyday on stage.

This is an especially amazing CD
author: Lisa PavlidesI guess I forgot how great he is! This is a great CD. Reminds me of another Pavlides :) Thanks Frank!
It is phenomenonal to find a CD by someone with my name.
author: Frank SalamoneI share my name with the artist but his talent is all his own. This is a fine blues album with a phenomenal guitarist who is a better than average blues vocalist. The tunes are from the blues roots and Frank plays and sings them that way. He was a great talent who was still developing when MS struck. This CD is a testament to a superb talent. I have been listening to jazz and blues for most of my 66 years. This ranks above most.
