Frank Boyd : " First I would like to thank God for giving me the gift of music and my father for encouraging me to keep going when I wanted to quit. I've been very fortunate to have people in my life like Russ Hock who helped groom me and teach me what "good sound" is all about; and D'Arco Smith who taught me a great deal about the music business; James Watkins for encouraging me to keep trying to sing. Love to all my family, friends, and fans, and a special thanks to my wonderful wife for believing in me. .”
