| Nyle Frank
|
Nyle Frank was born in Los Angeles in 1945. He attended Marshall High School ("Leonardo Di Caprio attended tenth grade here...Leo was like a son to me"), UCLA ("I had Baotioriology 6 with Kareem Abdul Jabber...he was like a brother to me"), and UNC ("It was fun helping Dean coach!"). In 1970 while doing his dissertation on communes, he decided to start his own school (The Invisible University of North Carolina), and was eventually coronated King of the Invisible Kingdom of America (which, among other things, hosted two picnics for the entire state of North Carolina that, fortunately, most North Carolinia decided NOT to attend). The day after his coronation, he was fired from his teaching duties at the University. He moved to neighboring Carrboro and, after a discussion with John Martin of the Chapel Hill Weekly, dubbed it "The Paris of the Piedmont." As some reality began to settle in, he began auditing courses in music and literature in hopes of becoming a writer and composer. He began Centipede Productions in 1984, and moved to Nashville in 1987. He has released a number of singer-songwriter and piano albums and, in 1998, released his first book of short stories, "A Summer's Tale." He sells his music and books to independently-owned stores across the United States and Canada. He has put over 304,000 miles on his 1988 Nissan Sentra in search of those stores (and a lucrative Nissan endorsement). He has spent much of this year plugging his song, "Old Lovers Waltz" (sung by Butch Baker) to country radio stations. (Having made 75 long-distance calls last month...many of them in disguised voices requesting "Old Lovers Waltz"...he's also in the process of searching for cheap long-distance service).
