"Manager, Neutron Products" is my fave, but "Pulverizing Machinery" is close

If you click on the picture of the business cards, you won't set off an atomic bomb....

I did that, Laura. A well-deserved plug. And I'm still here to tell it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:10pm
Irwin:

The cards are from a new book designed and published by Laura (Blast Books).

Thank you! This is an interesting read too... http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2016/01/the-business-cards-that-made-the-bomb/424278/

C'mon, you don't have to spell it "Jarby Mc Coy", do you?

Unless he told you that it should be spelled that way, it's a mistake.

Hey Joe Frank fans, just so you know, Joe is home from the hospital but the expenses are already adding up fast: nursing, PT, meds, IV nutrition, equipment, and this will continue. He can still use your help - every bit counts! tinyurl.com...

Did it ever say on that Facebook what his current diagnosis was?

Nothing specific but there were a lot of wrong ones (thankfully). His wife provides more detail in the first post on The Go Fund Me page.

You are right, Sparrow is a genius. Thank you for going to visit him and bringing us these stories (and music)

Irwin, these Joe Frank episodes are the most amazing things I've ever heard.
Thank you for airing these.

This is Joe at his most melancholy. I'm cringing. He's that good.

Mike East:

Hey Irwin, hope you are well. Have you heard or played Joe Frank's "Redneck Rounder"? A friend just recommended it to me today. I think wnyc must have played it recently.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:20pm
Mike East:

looks like a Work in Progress episode.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:23pm
Irwin:

Redneck Rounder features an actor. I don't air shows that don't include large amounts of Joe.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:26pm
Mike East:

Your curation has been top notch thus far. Thanks.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:28pm
Irwin:

Link for Joe's Medical and Recovery Fund now posted under the Los Alamos Rolodex cards.
  4:30pm
P-90:

I've noticed before that Irwin seems to avoid playing the shows that are dominated by performers (other than Joe.). Now I know why, it's policy.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:31pm
Irwin:

I just don't enjoy them. They almost always sound contrived.
  4:33pm
P-90:

Joe might get a kick out of knowing that a link to his fund is posted online here, right "under the Los Alamos Rolodex cards."

...the writing, voice, presentation - I'm reminded of what somebody said about Hendrix (of all comparisons) - Joe Frank is the Founder of a School no one else has Graduated from...

hey Irwin, do you go back and scrub the Joe Frank listings from old playlists?

Yes, by arrangement with the Joe Frank folks.
