'Dancin' Blues and Rock & Roll' is the M.O. Blues Band's M.O. They are getting better and better and better, with ever-increasingly awesome guitar work by Frank Orcino (see below) and a growing repertoire of original songs by David Masgay.

That's M.O.'s astonishing guitar player Frank Orcino. The hand on the hat is Tommy Castro's following an appearance by Tommy at a Johnny Nitro-arranged benefit for the Blue Bear School of American Music in San Francisco.

Johnny sure can pick 'em. Frank plays with a ferocity that puts you in mind of Tommy, with whose band he's already played several times. We say 'already' because Frank has been playing guitar a scant two years. As for Blue Bear, he says, "I graduated."

Frank Orcino traded a guitar for one of the vintage pickups in his own axe, a "fat Strat." That deal was with Johnny Nitro.
As for what he did or did not trade at the crossroads with a certain behorned gentleman from the far, Far south... Frank ain't saying.
