Frank Gambale: loves India

Frank Gambale loves India.India loves Frank Gambale.

15 years back, my friends and I would park our cars by the side of the road and boast of our newest musical acquisitions. One such acquisition was Frank Gambale's 'Live At The Baked Potato' CD. We never thought a day would come when we would see this shredmaster, sweepmaster, guitar virtuoso in our backyard! Frank has already come to India 3 times now, in the years 2006, 2007 and 2010, and watching him isn't enough. Frank got engaged to his lovely wife Bocarossa in Agra, and I got to be one of the fortunate ones to witness this solemn ceremony. I even had him stay at my house! Can you imagine having one of your favourite guitar players stay at your house?! Wow!!!! Here is a teaser of some of the moments documented during those 3 trips. This one is for all the Frank Gambale fans and music lovers. During that trip, Frank and I recorded a lot of music which resulted in Frank playing on 3 songs from my forthcoming record 'Matters Of The Heart', which has a lineup like this :
