Description
In October 1998, while attending the King Biscuit Blues Fest, I went into Eddie Mae’s Cafe in Helena, Arkansas looking to see if I could jump in on a jam. I was hanging out in back of the joint waiting for the music to start, and there stood Frank Frost. I had seen Frank in the 
movie “Crossroads” back in the ’80s, but he looked rugged and road worn now. Years of health problems and living a blues man’s life had caught-up with him. I gave him a harmonica, and we sat and sipped whiskey together. Like me, Frank appreciated the woody, pure, cleanly dissipating essence of smooth Bourbon. I thought to myself that sipping whiskey from a paper cup might not be the prescription that Frank’s doctor had written for him, but it sure was working for me. Frank liked it too. Years of hurt, disappointment and suffering couldn’t hide the smile in his eyes as we talked about music, harmonicas, and the red headed girl in the corner. There I was, with Frank Frost in a juke joint down in the Delta – it was a special moment for me. Frank died exactly one year later on October 12th, 1999. I want to help keep his name in front of people so I’m calling this harmonica Delta Frost. With its whiskey smooth, stainless steel cover plates, and its comb that’s been milled and rounded for comfort, the Delta Frost will help keep the memory of Frank alive.
Other harmonicas have brass or stainless steel reeds, but our Delta Frost harmonicas have long lasting, phosphor bronze reeds that not only provide hours of dependable play, but they produce a rich, bluesy tone – it’s a “cracklely” tone that would fit right in down at Eddie Mae’s place.
