A career full of accomplishment...

The various details are known to us but seeing it all laid out in chronological order along with some fascinating background is very enjoyable.

Very well done, Paul Franklin!

Great stuff
I know my playing is a bit pitchy, but at least my tone sucks

I had never heard him speak before, and he seemed like a genuinely good guy who deserves his success. The interview was very in depth and I enjoyed it.

I just finished watching this interview. Paul Franklin is very deserving of the awards he has been given. It shows the determination he has to be the very best at what he does. I am so impressed at his playing at such an early age and how he improved down through the years. He has made many sacrifices doing traveling that most would never do. This interview makes me so proud of Paul and his accomplishments. It is 1 hour and 40 minutes long and worth every minute of my time. I urge all steel players to take time and listen to him and the stories of how he got where he is today. Great interview Paul Franklin and you should be very proud of all of your accomplishments. I can sit and listen to you play for hours on end.

Great Salute to Paul. And yes he's a great fella. I met him when I was 12yrs old. He was genuine. But if you've met Sr. and Oletta they are wonderful people. Love chatting with them.

That was a very enjoyable interview. What a top notch guy Paul is.

Where can a guy get one of those posters that was given to Paul?
