Lodging

The unoccupied dwelling can be an apartment, bed & breakfast, condominium, guest house, home, hotel (preferred), or townhome.

Please make the reservation well in advance to get the best price and availability. We make the following requests because of bad experiences in the past. Please ensure the dwelling meets the following criteria:

  • A smoke-free dwelling: Dwellings that accommodate smokers expose guests to secondhand smoke, its toxic residue, and the unpleasant stench of stale smoke. The US Surgeon General says there is no safe level of exposure to secondhand smoke. Exposure to secondhand smoke causes lung cancer, heart disease, emphysema, asthma, pneumonia, bronchitis, allergies, and ear, nose, and throat conditions.
  • Surgeon General | Secondhand Smoke
  • Health Effects of Secondhand Smoke | CDC
  • A pet-free dwelling: Pet-friendly dwellings accommodate pets in any room and expose guests to fleas, ticks, dander, soiled carpet, foul odors, and pet noise. The American Lung Association says pet allergens cause irritation to the eyes, nasal congestion, coughing, breathing difficulties, allergies, eczema and rashes.
  • Pet Allergy – Symptoms and causes | Mayo Clinic
  • Pet Dander | American Lung Association
  • Clean, not dusty, musty, moldy or damp. Running an air purifier or opening windows does not eliminate odors.
  • No roaches, flies or other bugs.
  • Secure, with lockable doors and windows.
  • Quiet AC and heating that works.
  • Microwave and refrigerator.
  • Good quality bed with soft/medium mattress. No bedding with stains or odors. Clean linens.
  • AC power outlets. Workspace (i.e. chair and desk).
  • User name and password for WIFI (if available).
  • Closet, hangers, and hanging space.
  • Toilet paper, box of tissues, and fresh soap.
  • Clean towels, hand towels, and wash cloth.
  • If you book a hotel, one with a restaurant and room service is preferred.

Payment: If applicable, please complete payment in advance and provide the dwelling manager/staff with a credit card to cover incidental charges (WIFI, phone, snacks, room service, etc.) that are not part of the main bill.

Basket: Many hosts leave a “Welcome Fruit Basket” in the room. A welcome basket is not necessary, but Frank would appreciate some hand sanitizer and several bottles of drinking water for each night’s stay (Aquafina preferred).

Thank you for accommodating Frank in a dwelling that provides a secure, clean, comfortable, and healthy environment.

  • Preamp, with bass, treble, and volume controls built in.

Stage Plan

Follow the stage plan below and complete a sound check BEFORE Frank arrives. Please tune the guitar and connect it to the sound system. If available, connect the guitar to a Chorus pedal. Please add a touch of reverb to the guitar and mic and confirm the guitar and vocals can be heard through the stage monitor speaker. 

When Frank arrives, please have a member of the audio team available to assist him with the setup.

Altar Call Help

Please appoint men to assist Frank during altar calls. Have them only make physical contact with people who need assistance, stay alert, and pray quietly.

Please have one or two men stand behind people who have come forward for prayer and follow Frank as he moves down the line. Keep lines in order, lines should be only one person deep so catchers can move freely behind them. People waiting should remain in the aisles and “fed” up front as space permits.

If someone begins to fall, please break their fall by supporting and gently guiding them to the floor; making sure they do not harm themselves or others. When people are ready, please help them get up off the floor so they can return to their seats.

Please prevent people who are very emotional from injuring themselves or others.
