This is horrible news. Although we sometimes had maddening political discussions, Frank was a great guy. We met and hung together at NAMM and had great times. 

His book is also the seminal text on the instrument we all love.  My thoughts are with him and his family.

Frank was very generous with information regarding Mellotron, we sent many
e-mails back and forth and I learned alot of valuable things from him. His
book is an irreplacable resource. He had strong opinions but I can't hold
somebodies politics against them for god's sake. I am really sorry to hear
of his passing.
