I’m sure you know the old joke:

Why doesn’t Tony Orlando need an alarm clock? Cause he always rises at the crack of Dawn.

CRACK O’DAWN

December 22, 2009 / / 0 Comments
Linda and I have been guests on Barb Golden’s KPFA radio show, Crack O’Dawn, for twenty years … sometimes a couple of times a year. Somewhere in there being on her Christmas show has become a tradition. Last night was the night! With Mikee figuring out how to get calls on air, it was one of those perfect shows! The four of us are so comfortable together. There was a steady stream of calls with an extremely wide range of questions and angles, giving opportunities to talk about a lot of things very deeply. We did slip Christmas songs and a couple of poems in before the three hours disappeared!

ERIKA:

Last night’s show with Frank, Linda and Mikee on Barb Golden’s Crack O ‘Dawn on KPFA was really amazing. It was really fun to hear the jam at the beginning of the show and throughout. It was a great way to start the show pulling everyone in. Frank sang Christmas songs throughout the show including Back Door Santa one of my favorites that he does. Linda read Frank’s poem, “Season of Hidden Hope,” as well as “Connie,” about Frank’s mom. It was a cozy show that had a steady stream of listeners who called in who were really loving the show. The callers included Tomek and Michael Pepe and many people who had questions for Frank. One person had seen Frank’s flyers around town for his series Reality Playings at the Temescal Arts Center but has been afraid to come, until now!. Frank and Linda talked about how wonderful it was to have an ongoing series and some of what had happened in the last one with a musical jam with Guillermo, a dance Frank did with one of the women and a woman who lead a group of people through a play movement journey. One of the callers wanted to know about Frank’s presidential campaign and his platform so Linda read Frank’s platform and Barb said that it brought tears to her eyes again just like when she heard it for the first time.

During the show Frank and Linda talked about the changes in policies that have happened with BTV and how many of Frank’s shows are no longer on the air. They now have policies about how a host cannot have more than one show on in a day There were a couple of callers who watched Frank’s shows on BTV and really missed having them on and one even called BTV during the show to express how he felt about Frank not having his shows on anymore. There was a guy from England who called and wanted to know if Frank could come and play there and another person who wanted to know if people can study individually with Frank so Linda talked about that and how Frank had just done a three hour private performance with someone. There were a couple of callers who listened to luver and said how amazing it was with all of the variety of music that plays and wanted to know how bands can send their music to luver.

There was a woman who called in who said it was amazing hearing about all that Frank does and how does he do it all the things that he does. Frank and Linda said that it was the tribal body, living as one body. There was a woman who called in who wanted to know more about living tribally and had Frank written a book about how people can get along when they live together. Linda talked about how Frank had done relationship counseling for years and the thing he discovered is that most people have the same problems, they want to think that their problems are unique but everyone is really the same. One caller wanted to know what a typical day in the life of Frank, Linda and Mikee was, Frank starting his day in bed with a shot of espresso and getting an update of the days events so far, all the delicious food they eat, and desserts, work time, the movies they watch, living beyond a 24 hour day. A guy called in and wanted to know why we are here, what is it all about and Frank said to be together, adapt together, to change together, to play together, to love together. It was an amazing show full of music, Frank singing holiday songs, poems, and a steady stream of callers who called in who were loving the show and wanted to know more about life, love, living together and all the amazing things that Frank’s tribal body does.

In Freedom,
Frank Moore

what a sad loss, and she’ll be well remembered. Cats become like their owners when
close, Jessica was just like me!!!! A little ‘odd’ Fast as lightning and really human. Was she the closest to you, Frank? We humans aren’t so much smarter. We manufacture in our own bodies, no vit C, whereas cats make a lot of mg. of vitamin C that helps much to keep them alive. I will celebrate her memory.

I needed/wanted a cat when Jessica left though who could replace her, but when
Isobel, who helped me in ‘deciding what vegetarian raw meat (ugh! Jessica said)
she should eat like Isobel.’ but when she saw I took it so hard, she understandably said, “No,’ you should not get another cat, that was too hard on you.
Only Alexi, with me all the way, with the doctor both days wih me (I left her overnight)
got me through it. Jessica when the doctor botched the first shot, turned
around and bit him and the doctor smiled and said “a fighter to the last!!!!!!

love, Jesse

i feel like getting darkly sexy for this holiday performance!

“…He’s wonderful and hilarious and knows exactly what it’s all about and has earned my undying respect. What he’s doing is impossible, and he knows it. That’s good art….” L.A. Weekly

“Merging improv, erotica, entertainment, religion and ritual, Frank Moore – self-styled shaman, world-renowned disabled performance artist, and 2008 presidential candidate ….” – East Bay Express

Resisting “the easy and superficial descriptions…, Moore’s work challenges the consensus view more strongly in ways less acceptable than…angry tirades and bitter attacks on consumer culture.” Chicago New City

“If performance art has a radical edge, it has to be Frank Moore.” Cleveland Edition

“Transformative…” Moore “is thwarting nature in an astonishing manner, and is fusing art, ritual and religion in ways the Eurocentric world has only dim memories of. Espousing a kind of paganism without bite and aggression, Frank Moore is indeed worth watching.” High Performance Magazine

“Surely wonderful and mind-goosing experience.” L.A. Reader

Friday morning Sasha, our second cat, passed away. He is now in the back yard under the redwoods with Cyb. Kittee is taking it reasonably well.

Frankie and Everyone,

I’m very sorry to hear of your loss.

I’ll always remember Sasha as the mellow kitty.

It’s a difficult matter under any circumstances.

Heaps and heaps of hugs to all,
