About Me
http://www.musicalfamilytree.com/band/frankie_camaro

Thank you all for all the good times we had and will have. I really appreciate your friendship over the years.

Family came from Cuba. I'm the youngest and was born in Virgina. Moved to The Virgin Islands, Miami, Colorado, Ohio and then Indiana.

Started playing piano at 3 and then bongos, drums and later guitar. I would jam with my mom on piano, my dad singing and playing wood blocks, and me on bongos. We would play at dinners we would have.

Went to IU and studied physics, acoustics and electronics as well as Jazz Drums from Chuck Krupa, nephew of Gene Krupa. Started playing Guitar in bands.

Moved to Austin with Moto-X for a few years and did an album called "Big Guitars from Texas".

Hi Frankie, thank for the ad, I didn't work with you guys so I don't have any DAT's. Didn't you guys work with Mahern? Did Dan Vonnegut play with you guys at all?

Frankie, did you complete and release the Moto-X Congo Road compilation CD you told me about last August? You said that you had some previously urerleased Moto-X recordings that you planned to release as a CD under the title Congo Road and that you needed Moto-X photos from the Eighties. So I sent you several Moto-X photos from the band's July 1982 live performance at a party at my house in Bloomington. I haven't heard from you in a few months. What happened with the Moto-X CD?

Hola, Frankie! Que tal? Thanks for the comment. Glad you like the pictures. Sorry I missed seeing you and Al and Atomic Bombay at Uncle Fester's last month. When is your band's next show in Bloomington? How is the "new" Moto-X CD, Congo Road, coming along? I'm looking forward to its release so I can hear some Moto-X music. Will any of the songs be recorded live or did you record them all in a studio?

Buena Suerte, Craig

P.S.: Here are some more party pictures from the early Eighties. Recognize any of these wild youngsters? ;)

Moto-X 1985 Never Released Album, Congo Road, Remastered by Kevin Loyal

Many thanks to Kevin Loyal for a fine remastering of the Moto-X album. Recorded in Austin in 1985, this album, called Congo Road, was never released. The master tapes are long gone but a studio cassette was found (thanks Billy) and it sounds much better than the old cassette I had.

I'm going to release cuts from that here, and on my site: MotoMusic.com. I hope to release on CD as soon as I can or if I find a company to put it out.

Frankie

I know nothing about this woman's music but the writer isn't doing her any favors by starting off the article with "There are two types of people in this world: the screamers and the flappers. When a person jumps off a cliff, they can either scream…
