frank learned a lot about doing a routine from joe e lewis. that's another guy whose life was really unbelievable. he could tell a joke that went on for blocks of five minutes. just telling them he could bring the house down. saunter learned as he went along. he heard a song, then a singer then he did it his way. always showing respect and kindness.
@2.23 I thought it was really lovely how the audience applauded so warmly when Frank said that Dean was “the sweetest ‘drunken bum’ you’ll ever know in your life” To me it showed just how loved and well thought of Dean was by everyone, both friends and fans alike.
Does anyone know what recording Frank tells a joke in an old time voice. Goes like ‘up against the wall...you too baby. Any move you make will be greatly appreciated baby’ I heard it on RU-vid somewhere and can’t find it again.
