Well, Frankie, it's a true honor to sit with you.

As long as you understand that you're not doing it for you,

and you're doing it for an audience who may be out there waiting to hear you and bought a ticket

or waited six months until you appeared in your place.

So that's what keeps it fresh. I've been doing this since I've about 16 or 17. Can you imagine what it's like to have an audience your whole life?

No, I can't. Doing what you love and them loving what you're doing. Anybody who could stay with you and be a fan for as long as some of these people have been,

deserves to get as close to you as they could possibly get when they can.

So I've always loved Frankie Valley in the four seasons from the first time I heard them.

I can't tell you that I remember the exact first time that I heard them, but it must have been somewhere around 10 or 11 years old.

I can sort of picture the park in the town that I lived in and just going to summer concerts with my parents,

and they'd have all these cover bands of the bands that they used to listen to when they were

kids, you know, 50s, 60s music. And I remember, oh, what a night and obviously Greece and, you know,

all the major hits that everyone knows about. There's, there's so many others now that I love

that were lesser hits over the years, some of them, that we're listening to all the time here. But there was something about that guy's voice.

I mean, everyone knows there's something about that guy's voice. Like nobody can do what

Frankie Valley has done for basically six decades. And then, of course, over the years,

not only did I love the music, but then Frankie himself sort of became a legend through the Jersey Boys musical, which then became a movie as well.

And, you know, I'm from New York. I'm from Long Island. Had a lot of family in Jersey. The whole Jersey boy's story is so connected to everybody that lived in that New York tri-state area. There's sort of mafia parts

of it and foods and accents and all of these things. And the story of a guy, as they go into in the

play and in the movie, of a guy who was doing something for the love of music, not just Frankie,

but the four seasons as well, all of them,

and then had the trials and tribulations, lost the daughter dealing with, you know,
