Frank "Finger" Curtis arrived in Libertyville, Illinois on Saturday, October 5, just in time to play a gig at Donelli's Pub that night. This shot was two days later on Monday, the day before we flew to Amsterdam's Schipol airport to kick off Big Eyed Beans From Venus Fall 2002 European Tour. Frankie, looking cool driving around Libertyville. Y'all be back! Superstar in the making, Jake Niemiec. Jake is a naturally talented percussionist, and recently took up the clarinet. He's currently writing songs for his debut CD, including the sure-to-be-a-smash hit single When My Dad Gets Mad.

Paragon is like Disneyland for musicians. Paragon proprietor Ned Englehart made Frank most welcome, and brought him a vintage Marshall stack and Les Paul to enjoy. Jack LeTourneau tweaking the final tweakages on the Chicago Mike CD. "OK Mike, I've engaged the suck eliminator."
