Frank Ace: News & Journal

Frank recorded old dog "On The Prowl" in 2005 at By Nite Productions Digital & Audio Recording, studio in Phoenix, Arizona USA.  The background singers are Emmith Woods, Ulanda Jackson-Woods, and Kimberland Hernandez, aka "The Howlers".  Written, Produced & Arranged by:  F. L. Wallace.  Vocal and guitar by:  Frank Ace.  Mixed & Mastered by: J. R. Harris, Engineer.  Photograph by: Paris Troy.

Frank first performed his version of "On The Prowl" in 2006 while touring Denmark, Sweden, and Norway with The Hooter trio. The response was "where can I buy a copy of it"?

After returning Home Frank was asked to produce a Gospel CD for his good friend Vernon Garrett. New Begining was the name of the Gospel CD.  So "On The Prowl" was forgotten and stayed on the shelf until another friend Sammy Six, wanted to put "On The Prowl" on his CD, Sammy Six "To The Rescue".   Once again Frank was asked to wear the producer's hat.  Learning of his friends illness Frank had to hurry the CD, but nevertheless Sammy had his CD with On The Prowl on it, when he passed away November 8th 2008.  To hear Sammy Six's version of "ON The Prowl" go to www.chueffarecords.com

So finally, the original version of "On The Prowl" is out!  Where can you get it?  Go to Buy! 

Frank is sorry for the slight delay....but it's worth the wait.  "All U old dogs keep on howling, Woof"!

I wish to pay homage to one of the finest musicians I know! He is one of the finest keyboard / piano players and vocalists I have ever played with.  This man is always prepared for the gig and gives 100% of his talent.  He will play what you need for the gig, session or show.  I honor this musician, I respect this musician, and I'm proud to call him my friend!  Mr Tommy Washington of Phoenix, Arizona.  I like to give praise and honor while he can still appreciate and wear the award.  There are only a few "Bury The Bone" T-Shirt recipients (and they know who they are)!  This is a secret association of fine, talented musicians that I love to play with.  Mr Tommy Washington of Phoenix, Arizona will be receiving his official FA, Bury The Bone T-shirt!  His name will be placed on "The Band of My Dreams" roster.  Welcome Mr Tommy Washington! 

Please stand and give my friend, Tommy Washington of Phoenix, Arizona the "Bury The Bone" salute.....and two coughs!  

I love you, T-Dog!

I did not have Bruno's last name when I start Frank Ace "Live in England", it is Bernard "Bruno" Urciuoli One badd-a-- Mama-jama bass player and you heard it from me, frank ace. As a matter of fact. Jeremy is a smoking guitarist and the entire band is GREAT! If you get chance to hear them or play with them you are in for a treat! Seeya soon Bruno, Frank Ace

Back in the day when we were playing the hotel circuit, we would record once a week... to listen to our performance. Sometimes we sounded good; other times we were so busy entertaining the crowd that the tapes were not very clean...too much crowd noise. One night in Burlington, Colorado it was just Larry Livgren and me. I turned the recorder on and it was a perfect night! We used a "AM/FM Panasonic double cassette boom box... :-) It worked great. We set it in front of our 15" speaker and turned it on. At the end of each, set we would turn the 120 minute cassette over, take our break and then hit start at the begining of the next set. I have mastered the tape of that night and burned a CD of the show. We were better than we thought! We were a hot duo, and we played cover songs from the top 40 of the day. Of course, we did our own arrangements. The CD is "Livgren & Ace Live in Burlington, Colo". I will try to put some of the songs up for you to hear. Right now you can only purchase this CD by sending $12.00 to Chueffa Records, P.O. Box 7462, Saint Joseph, MO 64507. There are pic's of us, so check them out. More info to come later...

I received a copy of Jefferson the worlds oldest bluesmagazine, published by Scandinavian Blues Association. I would like to thank Mr Anders Lillsunde, Editor Jefferson, for doing the interview.
I was simply blown away when I open Jefferson and saw the pic's. I had to get my good friend Madison and his lovely wife Ditta, who were here in the US from Denmark, to translate it for me, and they did a great job.
I wish to thank you again Anders, this makes you one of "The Frank Ace Gang"! You will be getting your T-shirt real soon.
Buy the magazine, and see for yourself the (4) four page spread with pic's and the interview.

On February 19, 2006, I went to Castor England to perform with The Blues Crusaders. They are a very good four (4) piece blues band. They added a trumpet player and an alto sax player to augment the group. I didn't know they recorded the shows, but I'm glad they did. Chueffa Records released a live CD of that show, "Frank Ace Live in England" available here or on www.cdbaby.com. The Blues Crusaders are: Jeremy Watson, bandleader and guitarist; Rick Hudson on drums; "Bruno" on bass guitar; and Jaime McGovern on Hammond B-3 organ. Plus, two really extraordinary musicians sat in, Joe Offeen on trumpet and Pete Grogan on alto sax. The band played exceptionally well! Thanks, guys! I only wish we could have had more time. Everybody got to solo and that's what makes it so good. "A great jam!" Plus a couple of surprises along the way. Blues & Rhythm magazine reviewer Phil Wight came out wearing a "Bury the Bone" t-shirt...;-) The audience was stomping and clapping, even singing along with us. It was a great night. The original (2) shows were edited down to seventy minutes. The CD was recorded at the Stamford Arts Centre in Lincolnshire. Thanks go to "Shakedown Productions". I really had a good time, and I was treated like a STAR ...:-) Thanks Gerard! Well, I gotta run. Seeya soon!
