On 05/01/2003, I received the following email message from Joe Frank. Because I have the utmost respect for this great radio artist, I have taken down the shows I had been hosting. For all your Joe Frank needs, you should now go to: http://www.joefrank.com Going forward, this site will only host Chel White's short films based on Joe Frank's work as well as some other random knick-knacks that may be tangentially related to Joe Frank, but do not include his radio programs. If you care about Joe Frank and the future of his work, please be sure to support his website: http://www.joefrank.com If you have any questions feel free to contact me. TO VIEW THE REMAINING PART OF MY JOE FRANK WEBSITE, PLEASE GO TO http://www.3113.com/joefrank The email I received follows: ===== START EMAIL ===== Hello, For over ten years, I’ve been able to allow fans to stream my shows on their web sites and produce MP3s offering them as a free download. Unfortunately, this practice is now inimical to my ability to move forward. I can no longer afford to give my work away while continuing to pay actors, creative collaborators, mixing studios, technicians, etc., for new projects. In order to raise money for this new work, I must ask you and others to remove my shows from your web sites and instead encourage people interested in my programs to come to my site. With your support, I will be able to offer new programs as well as projects which have never before been available - short videos, films, transcripts and high quality MP3s. Additionally, I'll be able to stream every radio program I’ve produced. Any suggestions you have for ways in which my site may be improved, or hopes concerning work you’d like to see posted, are welcomed. I would very much appreciate your cooperation, and thanks for your support over the years. JF 4.4.03 --- ===== END EMAIL =====
