As my title says I am old. Thanks for stopping by. My name is Frank Porter. Nice to meet you. I love music. In the past five years I have released three albums. In the past three years I have won two international songwriting awards, My 40th year of performing approaches. 2019. We are working towards at least one live show in PA. Maybe a second one in NY. It's a beautiful gift to be able to write songs. I am thankful every single day. For many things. The gift of music is a big part of my life for sure. I do have family and friends and like to do other things as well. I am a pretty bad-ass cook. I enjoy photography. I also enjoy hiking, swimming, and fishing. I love animals. Since this is a musician social networking site I will speak mostly of my music career and love of music. Please feel free to say hello. Don't be shy. I am looking for band mates. Hope to get to know you better as time passes. Frank
Music saved my life. It heals me for one thing. It is a great love in my life. I have always loved music from a very early age. I gives me an outlet and a way to express myself in a pure way.
I want to take my music career to the next level and the next... Headlining a major tour that includes Madison Square Garden would be pretty awesome!
The current system of things would have to go. Out with the old and in with the new. And the new system would be about loving and taking care of one another. Sharing and caring.

Real life situations in many cases.
I have more than one message. So I will pick a main theme. We are the human race. Period. Color, culture, and everything else are secondary.
Exhilarated, excited, satisfied, like I am on a natural high.
More transparency in the agreements we sign. In my case, do not be so afraid to work with someone who is outside your typical age requirements. Especially when they prove to have staying power and keep on working hard and putting out good music.
Cool idea. Hoping it works for me.
Key word most... when band members
I attend local shows and play charity events when possible.
