JackBaruth Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 I stopped by the FireKeepers Casino on I-94 this past Friday and I noticed that photos of this kid were all over the wall on the parking garage skyway. He's playing a different Heritage in almost every one. This isn't Frankie Ballard, is it?
bolero Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 ha, yep that's him allright, with his pinstriped H157!!
Genericmusic Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Yup, I used to jam with his father Frank Sr.
Thundersteel Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Haven't heard of either of them. But, I'm sure they've never heard of me, neither!
TalismanRich Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Frankie has some serious chops. I'm not a country music fan overall, but I like his style of playing.
koula901 Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 What kind of Heritage is Eddie Robinson playing? At that angle it looks too thin to be a 535, but, maybe my eyes fool me.

totonka Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 What kind of Heritage is Eddie Robinson playing? At that angle it looks too thin to be a 535, but, maybe my eyes fool me. He told me, but I forget now, I think a 535, but it might have been a 555, too, because I remember thinking I've never seen one of those. We were having a conversation about Marv, and I wish I would have recorded a video of it. Just another one of those cool stories about Heritage. Better angle?
blueox Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Besides Frankie Ballard, these are good promos for Heritage also. He does country, but can get rocky and bluesy as well. In the past, he has opened for Bob Seger.

Well, if it is a 535, it's unusual as it has only one 'f' hole.
DetroitBlues Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 ha, yep that's him allright, with his pinstriped H157!! I'd love to do that to some of my guitars!
DetroitBlues Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Frankie has some serious chops. I'm not a country music fan overall, but I like his style of playing. there is a new type of country music that sounds more like Classic Rock than Country. Except for a little twang in the voice and occasional lap-steel sound, its just about the same.... I rather like it. I've found myself listening to more country music than ever because of the sound.
totonka Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Well, if it is a 535, it's unusual as it has only one 'f' hole. It has 2 f holes....I'll send him an e-mail and figure out this mystery.
koula901 Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 It has 2 f holes....I'll send him an e-mail and figure out this mystery. Oh, I see the 2 f-holes here - just not in the pic where he's playing it.

It was called Red Dirt at one time. We cover quite a bit of that style. I like Eddie's choice in color for his 535.
