FROG, I remember this man of great creation and spontanaity(spelt rong I no!) lighting bottle rockets off his bass guitar, doing impromtu concerts on his doorsteps in the middle of the afternoons, sticking fire crackers in road kill on stage while greasing up naked fat women at the Hard Back Cafe......he spat at Rivers feet I hear this man of small town urban folk lore..............I hear he once got the guy from SuperTamp and Peter Paul and Mary 2 sing backup vocals on a pop song he wrote called I am going to Be an Alcoholic by September for a soundtrack film that never saw the light of day. Where is he now and how is he I wonder? As for drinking pee, i do not believe. While he has stooped 2 incredible lows in his lifetime, his heart is truely golden at the core. God Bless him and may his elevator muzak be filled with lifeforce from the very GodForce that created him. The myth, the method and if he finally wakes up and realizes life is a gift and is ultimately beautiful, perhaps EVEN a legend. Wake up Frog and tell us where you are........

I recall Frog's performance at a UF electro-acoustic recital of student works. His was by far the most intriguing, beguiling work. It consisted of the sound of close-miked ping-pong balls being dropped repeatedly on a hard surface. The stereo pan was brutal and awesome. Totally vertigo-inducing. After 10 minutes of said noise, a woman's cry slowly entered the mix. Was she laughing? Sobbing? It was never explained, which made it all the more mysterious. I think the piece ended abrubtly. Of course, all of the other student pieces were mellow ambient things, or rhythmic techno pieces of crap. But Frog's piece fucking ruled. I've also seen him make shitty noise at nasty clubs, but then some of you readers love that stuff, right? Bob

Frog fell bare-assed into a next of fire-ants this one night. Frog in a bathtub, legs up, as we sprayed ants off his asshole. An image like that, and frog's face, this expression of pure relief and bliss, is not soon forgotten.

Hi friends, If you got this e-mail, then you're one of a select few on my special friends "A" list. As you know, I'm always on the lookout for something fun and freaky to do that will amuse, entertain, and otherwise benefit mankind. One of my collaborator friends is Frog. Frog is, in my humble opinion, the greatest performance artist in the world. Currently Frog, and his partner in crime, Andy Spagandy, are working on independent films, and performing live shows in Gainesville. They work, usually, without a budget. Now you've run across my occasional pitches for money before. In the last few months, I decided I would actually pitch on another's behalf. Frog comes with the FREDInk Tom Miller seal of approval. Here's my plan. I want to answer the question, "What would Frog and Andy do if they had a small budget?" And here's the pitch; I've made it very easy for you to help. I'm asking for small contributions to build what I call the Frog Fund. I'm hoping to raise about two hundred bucks through my paypal donation site. As soon as possible, I'm going to forward money to Frog and challenge him to produce a Gainesville based art project which will manifest before the deadline of March 1, 2005. I'm not going to offer any direction or prepare any expectations... I'm simply going to fund Frog. My poor ass is even coughing up some dough, strictly as a matter of curiosity. "Sounds interesting, Tom. But what do I get for my $5?" I will put you on a special mailing list which will detail Frog's plan, and the results. It may become a show, or a video, or a recording... or something even more unusual. In short, you will get a detailed description of the answer to a mystery, and if you live in Gainesville, you'll no doubt be a part of whatever transpires. You will become a member of my Super Secret Special Mailing List - The Millerworks Newsletter. Every two months, you'll get an official Tom Miller newsletter featuring poetry, short stories, and the chance to win free unique art, music, and video DVDs that nobody but my archivist has. "$5? Tell you what, I'll give you $3." $3 is fine, or $50 or more. It's up to you. But a small contribution goes a long way. "What is this Frog character all about?" Frog's personal web page: http://plaza.ufl.edu/frog28/ Read what people have said about Frog on the Gainesville Band Family Tree: http://www.gainesvillebandfamilytree.com/article.php?TYPE=musician&ID=460 "What a freak, Tom. How can I send you $3 or more for the Frog Fund?" If you have a paypal account or a credit/debit card, please go to this secure link: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr Fill out the short form and make a note that you're contributing to the Frog Fund. A check or money order made out to me is also cool (I'm not sure they'd cash a check or money order made out to Frog.) Tom Miller c/o FREDInk Records 2830 N. Sacramento Gainesville, FL 60618 Please put "Frog Fund" in the "For:". You'll receive a confirmation e-mail from me, and your first edition of the Millerworks newsletter will arrive one week later. I hope you'll join me on this arts venture. The worst thing that could happen is that our world will be slightly more interesting. Thank you, Tom Miller Artist, Musician, Producer, Promoter, Poet & Writer, UFO Expert, and former politician Looking for Frog? Contact me at: millerworks@hotmail.com
