    What is Left of Frank Wiseman?

    This is a podcast episode dedicated to the question "What Is Left Of Frank Wiseman". This man was born in Western North Carolina and had a talent for music, yet he could not read music sheets. The family lore runs deep with who he might have played with on album recordings. One such alleged person was Johnny Cash on a studio recording. Are you curious yet...well this podcast will take you through Frank’s life, past his death, and into the present where I have captured mountains of information that is now ready for you to enjoy at your convenience. Don't presume that this will be boring as I added my own tasteful flare for entertainment sprinkled throughout this episode. With my sister joining me on this podcast what could go wrong!  Through this episode you will experience the many twists and turns in Franks life. Hopefully, you will be able to get a sense for what kind of man Frank was and the life he left behind even know it has been relatively forgotten. Just because Frank was never center stage didn't mean he wasn't known through other circles for his riffing talents on his guitars. Especially with his Les Paul electric sunburst custom Gibson Guitar. Frank turned himself from the smalltown boy to a hidden figure of unknown proportion behind the limelight. Yet, Frank was rarely documented for his efforts and most of them will never be known. So, settle in as my sister and I take you on a journey through time while you stay in the present hopefully making your own lasting mark in the world.  Music by Scott Buckley – www.scottbuckley.com.au #HurricaneHelen #WisemanGenealogy #GenealogyPodcast #FamilyHistory #AncestorStories #FamilyTree #OralHistory #StorytellingPodcast #LegacyStories #PersonalNarratives #AmericanHistory #NorthCarolinaHistory #AppalachianStories #SprucePineNC #MitchellCounty #AveryCountyNC #WWIIHistory #VeteranStories #MilitaryHistory #WWIIVeteran #ArmyVeteran #CombatEngineers #CivilianConservationCorps #GreatDepression #MusicHistory #BluegrassMusic #SonsOfFun #GuitaristLife #BanjoMusic #ChetAtkinsInfluence #JohnnyCashConnections #HaveIToldYouLatelyThatILoveYou #RockfordIllinois #WoodyChairShop #KennedyRockingChair #MillionDollarQuartet #Cryptography #FindAGrave #RuralLife
