Holy cow! Much to report!

England was amazing. A special thanks to our friends who helped us along the way. Stamford, Canterbury, Ashburton and Milford on Sea. We made great connections, drove a lot, sang a lot and fell deeply in love.

Then... BIG NEWS!

It was a true honor to play music on A Prairie Home Companion on November 17th. Click Here to listen to the show and read comments. What a beautiful experience to see the mastery and artistry that flows through that show... EVERY WEEK!

The Brothers Frantzich- Martin Luther King Jr. project continues. Songs are being written... We are making contact with people and places from his past. Let's see where this leads. Mark your calendar for April 4th, 2008... that is the 40th anniversary of his death. We'll do a big concert somewhere that night. MLK jr. was a prophet. He was a great champion of Hope. He lived an amazing and divinely inspired ride. So couragious were Martin and Coretta King. Much light was brought into our lives upon their shoulders. There's an amazing 1 min and 21 sec on YouTube. This Mountaintop speech was given less that 24 hours before he was killed. He was standing at the door. This is not just for African Americans... His was/is a universal human message. A message that still shines into our hearts and homes. Check this out: Mountaintop Speech

 

DATE NIGHT

8-15-07

Our first ever DATE NIGHT, at the Fine Line, was sweet ... Just the Two of us...singing the songs that put a wrench on our hearts. The grand finale was a warm sing along..."Can't Help Falling In Love With You"...Yes, that's the Elvis tune from Blue Hawaii..."Wise men say...only fools rush in..." It was perfectly sappy and that's part of what DATE NIGHT is all about. Look for another DATE NIGHT at the Fine Line around St. Valentine's Day. Sara Stiles took the photo...thanks Sara!


9-4 thru 9-9 2007

The Minnesota Men's Conference was a winner this year. We had some amazing moments...I will never forget the men singing "I'll Fly Away"...we couldn't even sing the last verse because the chorus was so big and beautiful. When was the last time you heard 100 men singing their hearts out...adding harmony? You've never heard that? Well, come next year. Visit: www.hiddenwine.com. Above is a photo of Tim, Robert Bly, Zeb (Tim's son) and Paul. It was Zeb's first conference...it was great to have him there.


8-24 thru 8-26 2007

We had a great time at Omega Institute with Robert Bly and Arlo Guthrie. The above pic is of Arlo and Alison Granucci (www.blueflowerarts.com). Alison was the master mind behind the workshop and was the one who asked us to come out. Highlights were playing several songs to a nice big crowd on Saturday night. Arlo and Robert were wonderful together. Arlo played "Abraham" with us...took the solo...that was cool. What a wonderful guy, full of optimism and great stories. He's a great guitar player and sings with ragged grace. He put one of his father's poems called "My Peace" to music...it was lovely...a true treasure.

8-4-07

We're currently reading a bit on Martin Luther King Jr. We are investigating writing songs based on his sermons. Here's the dream: We do a CD based on MLK's amazing sermons and plan a cd release on the 40th anniversary of his death, April 4th 2008. Fingers crossed!

Gotta Get This!
Neil Douglas-Klotz is doing translations of parts of the New Testament from the original Aramaic. Aramaic is the language Christ spoke as he taught. Neil Douglas-Klotz sheds new and beautiful light on these familiar words.

example: Beatitude #3 KJV: "Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth"
when translated from Aramaic reads:
"Ripe is the time for those who have made soft and supple that what is rigid within: they shall receive physical vigor and strength from all of nature and the universe"

link to Neil Douglas-Klotz at Amazon.com

I'm currently into his cds called The Healing Breath
He has put the Aramaic beatitudes to music. He explains the translations and meanings along with some historical context and then chants the Arimaic beatitudes.

Matthew Fox (the theologian, not the actor) has found a doorway. One that infinitely expands the Christian heart. One that illuminates the beauty of THIS world as well as beyond.
"The kingdom of Heaven IS at hand" Matthew 4:17

Link to Matthew Fox's Original Blessing. It Rocks.

Last night Paul and I slept in a chicken coop.

Here we are standing tall in front of the little chicken door
at the Littlefield Bee Farm on Block Island, Rhode Island.
The foundations of the property were from the early 1700's.
Susan and Chris had cleaned it out long ago and put a couple of beds in it.
The ocean breeze blew through. What a perfect place to sleep.
Thanks to the Block Island Poetry Project for a beautiful day of outside music and poetry.

Whoa yeh! We got Heart Wing done. We had just as much fun making the cover art as we had recording. It was a bit harry as we ran down that hill time after time. Tim really did take off for a second! Thanks Brian Tice for your genius timing. Cover art on Home page.

Busy bees we are these days. Learning more of webpage layout and e-commerce. So get ready we'll soon be sending out the fruits of our labors. Look for www.wildchist.com and www.feedthemwithmusic.com as affiliates with Brothersf.com.


2-6-07

We're holed up at a friends house to record. The friends have left town and we've taken over. We're recording in their family room complete with fireplace. It's cozy on this zero degree day as the snow falls outside.


1-28-07

We're laying plans for the Great Mother Conference in early June. This year's site is about an hour out of Portland, Maine. This eight day event mashes religions, psychology, art, poetry and more. It's guaranteed to blow your mind and open your chest. This year's lectures center around Sufism. Many great poets, much good music... including a couple shmoes from Minneapolis, chanting dancing, food, ritual.. hmmm. just come if you're curious.

Tomorrow we head for NYC to visit a couple contacts (in hopes of playing there... do you know anyone who can help?) and crash poet Robert Bly's 80th birthday party. We're looking at getting back to England in the summer. More travel these days. Between now and summer we will hopefully record two CDs. We start one now. It is a 2/3 original disc.

another good England story from our November trip:

Our last stop was at a little town on the southern coast called Milford on Sea. Our friends John and Amy Taylor, who live there, did amazing work getting the word out. We kept noticing this amazing old church complete with it's (gravestones angled off in all directions) churchyard. One night (pictured below) we wandered into the churchyard with a nice bottle of wine and toasted the seen and the unseen worlds. We were there a day or two before we realized we were to have our concert in that church. That was a true joy. All Saints Church turned out to be 1000 years old. Some pillars and arches were built by the Normans. There were weird wooden heads carved in the ceiling of sailors lost at sea. Our friend David Anania (drummer extraordinaire, currently with the Blue Man Group, Berlin) met us there with his lovely girlfrind Sabine. A bunch of people came out. The place felt cozy. We truly had a great time. John Taylor was handy on upright bass. The environment was surreal. Great singing and dancing all the way around. A heart warming and golden end to our two weeks in England.

 

11-30-06

Paul's birthday today. Happy birthday Paul! We're still in the afterglow of a sweet night down at the Fine Line Music Cafe last Sunday. Our holiday show turned out just fine. Thanks to the likes of Sister Kirsten Frantzich Allen, John Munson, Noah Levy, Joe Savage and Jeff Victor. And there was also a goddess on stage with us. Nirmala Rajasekar raised the hair on my neck with her beautiful East Indian voice. We'll definitely sing with her again. Don't miss it! Please check her out and support her! Nirmala Rajasekar Thanks to everyone that came down. We're thinking of doing a Valentine's Day Love Show. Stay tuned!

ps. All the poems at the show were from either The Gift- Hafez translated by Daniel Ladinsky or Translations of Hafez by Robert Bly


11-19-06

A few shots and thoughts from England:

One good story came on a night where we were looking for a room. We walked into a pub called The Royal Oak in the sweet little town of Ashburton at 11pm. Just the bartender and the owner were there. We secured a room and then sat down for a pint. As we talked the owner noticed our guitars and asked for a song. We played a song. We finished and as the last note rang the owner said the best thing he could say... "what are you doing tomorrow night?" We played the next night for room and board. stayed there three nights. This street sign from there... can you read at the bottom?

 

As we flew home we caught sight of Greenland. Holy cats what an amazing place!

 

11-15-06

Whew!

We made it back from England in two pieces. What a voyage! We played nine shows in twelve days. Thanks to brother Martin Shaw for his amazing drumming and overall support. Also a big thanks to: Tom Shaw and John and Amy Taylor. We are planning a return trip in the summer. More highlights to come.

Now we happily turn toward our Holiday Show. This will be fun. Our friend Nirmala Rajasekar will join us to bring the beautiful sounds of India along with Joe Savage, Noah Levy and John Munson and Jeff Victor.

 

10-23-06

Last night we did another "Jacob's Ladder" out in Stillwater. It's evolving. Please come if you're interested in an informal, open format sacred time. Lots of music, poetry, chanting, candles... gospel talent Tonia Hughes is singing like a bird and will be back on November 19 for another round. The scattered genius of the pulpit, Mark Horst, offers thoughts and poems here and there.

Last night I started believing that Jacob's Ladder is becoming something new, progressive and righteous. Help us find this new thing! Next month Paul will hatch a new song at Jacob's Ladder called "You Are Beautiful and Powerful Beyond Measure"... It's a good song. Simple. Inspired by Ann Bancroft's work as a polar explorer and as a advocate for following one's dreams. We all can use a little of that kind of support. The whole evening will hinge on that theme.

Here's a good true poem by William Stafford:

THE WAY IT IS

There's a thread you follow. It goes among
things that change. But it doesn't change.
People wonder about what you are pursuing.
You have to explain about the thread.
But it is hard for others to see.
While you hold it you can't get lost.
Tragedies happen; people get hurt
or die; and you suffer and get old.
Nothing you do can stop time's unfolding.
You don't ever let go of the thread.


10-18-06

We're in rehearsals for England. We leave in less than two weeks. Some new songs. We'll come back in good shape to record.

Looking forward to our annual Fine Line Show Holiday Show. The Sunday after Thanksgiving.

We bloomed in Spring.
Our bodies are the leaves of God.
The apparent seasons of life and death our eyes can suffer,
but our hearts, dear, I will just say this forthright,
they are God himself.
We will never perish unless he does.

- St Theresa of Avila (1515-1582)

 

9-3-06

Holy Cats... we didn't write for a while because coming back from the Men's conference was a blurry, complicated and joyous experience. A lot of things to chew on. We talked about Giants. The giants in ancient stories like Jack and the Beanstalk. How this giant was, at first, invited in to Jack's house (when Jack was an infant) by Jack's father. Familiar, friendly... but in a vulnerable moment the giant did away with Jack's father, stole his riches and disappeared... This is how the story starts. Then, of course, Jack wanders into quite a dramatic continuation. These old fairy tales rock. there's no one moral to the story. Rich with multi-leveled ideas and teaching. Read them around the house.

Everyone should buy our friend Jay Leeming's poetry book : Dynamite on a China Plate. It's great!


8-18-06

We're encouraging you to get tickets for St Joan of Arc's annual Cabaret. It features one song from approx. 25 performers. Short attention span theater. We've played there for the last 3 years and love the whole scene. It's enough to make any devout Baptist or Jew turn into a Catholic. St Joan is redefining "church" and the angels are helping. It always sells out so get 'em now: St Joan, Mpls. Tickets!

(Read about last year's cabaret by scrolling down to 10-30-05)

 

8-17-06

Check out Daniel Ladinsky's "Love Poems From God" . Poems that span the last 1000 years written by true mystics. People that seem to have been in the presence of God. Amazing. I'm struck by the infinite mercy. profound acceptance. playfullness. simple Love....St John of the Cross, St Catherine of Sienna, St Theresa of Avila, Kabir, Rumi...

Here's one:

My Lord told me a joke-
and seeing him laugh
has done more for me
than any scripture
I will ever read.

- Meister Eckhart 1260-1328 (Catholic Monk and Scholar)


8-14-06

We're laying plans for the U. K. with our friend Martin Shaw. More Martin Shaw info below. Approx. Nov 1-12. We're optimistically tumbling into this new place. Please send love and prayers. We've recently made changes in our lives so we can avail ourselves to any and all opportunities.

 

YOU'VE GOTTA FREAKIN' READ: WHAT JESUS MEANT by Garry Wills.
It'll Love-bomb your previous ideas...

(and the Yogi said, "s-t-r-e-t-c-h")

Yes, now that brings up item #2: YOGA. It's gonna help save the world. The idea being, if we can stretch, "dang, that kinda hurts...hold it... relax, find center" Moving our familiar out. Getting comfortable with what used to be uncomfortable.. This flexability, this suppleness.. mixed with Love... is what this old world wants .....and the people said "AMEN!"

We suggest Bikram Yoga. 105 degrees. Lots of sweat. 90 minutes. HAVE COURAGE!
But We've heard any yoga will do. Find yours.
It's all part of the LOVEREVOLUTION!!!


6-16-06

We have been to the well and had a good long drink... there are many new brothers and sisters frantzich... redefining our idea of family. If you can ever attend one of Robert Bly's conferences... either the Great Mother in early June or the Men's Conference in early September... do it! You'll freak out. It's like family and home and sweet inspiration all rolled up in a bad Jr. High Camp bunk bed. Anyways, Paul and Tim are the better for it. Here's a picture taken on the last evening in Maine with our hero Robert Bly.



6-2-06

We're back in action on the webpage!!!
We're honored and excited to go out to Maine tomorrow for 8 days at Robert Bly's Great Mother and the New Father conference

We're leading singing circles and playing some old hymns. This is an amazing event. check it out at greatmotherconference.com

We've got a million ideas for new recordings. We're working on them this Summer.

More after our return!

Tim and Paul


1-16-06

Happy New Year and Happy MLK day. Go listen to the song "Calcutta" on our Harmonium CD.
We just had a grand time at Edina Community Lutheran Church... What a cool place!
if you live in south Mpls or Edina and are church hunting check it out. I've been thinking and collecting
on the topic of "Sophia". She is the Divine feminine and is Wisdom. Someone said
she's mentioned in Eziekiel... she seems to be tapping me on the shoulder, as I've heard
her name a lot lately. E-mail any ideas and info to: info@brothersf.com
.


12-6-05

We are doing a lot of chewing on the Fine Line Christmas show. Remembering. Thinking.
MAN-O-Man Thanks to everyone who came out. What a perfect evening. Thanks to Serge, Jeff, Noah and Joe. Amazing. The high point was Blind Willie Johnson's 1930's "Jesus won't You Make Up My Dying Bed" That rocked!
Ron, the sound guru at the Fine Line, was kind enough to make a DVD of the show, so we'll get a song up soon.

Stay Tuned!

 

10-30-05

If you can manage next year to get to St Joan of Arc Catholic Church's Cabaret... do it! I think tickets go on sale in August at the church. St. Joan is totally morphing church as we've known it. With the sensibilities of Dan Chouinad and Anna Vagle that place rocks! We played there the last two nights ... one song from each artist... 3 hours long... this year performers included: Peter Ostrushko, Debbie Duncan, Robert Robinson, Mary Jane Alm, Larry Long, Bruce "Creeper" Kurnow, Prudence Johnson, Paul Peterson, Neal and Leandra... the list goes on and on... meet us there next year... It's one of the best kept secrets in town.

10-25-05

It was a sweet and dandy evening in St. Croix Falls at the Festival Theater. Thanks to eveyone who came up. I was blown away by the tree colors peaking out on the river. Noah, Jeff, Joe and Serge played with us.Check out Father Thomas Keating's work on Contemplative Prayer. He's successfully Christianized meditation. I need some of what he's talking about... emptying so Spirit might find some space.
Thomas Keating


10-18-05

We've been playing a lot lately... Thanks St Mark's on Loring Park, Thanks St. Joan of Arc, Thanks Wesley Methodist downtown Mpls. Amazingly beautiful rooms! (St Joan's has an inner beauty) Wow! the craftmanship in the old days! Stained glass, Cherry wood, carving.carving.carving.

We turn our eyes now toward St. Croix Falls' Festival Theater. Full Band show. Oct 22, 8pm

All six of us will be there.

Here's the latest favorite poem by 14th Century Persian Hafez:

"Last night
God posted on the tavern wall
A hard decree for all of love's inmates
Which read:
If your heart cannot find a joyful work
The jaws of this world
Will probably
Grab hold of your
sweet
ass."

We just returned from the Minnesota Men's Conference. 150 gents in the Northwoods. I was struck this time by how only a handfull are from Minnesota. Most men are from somewhere else...
even as far as Ireland.

I really don't know what to write about it. Although it's not a "Christian" event, it is spiritual in a way that I have found nowhere else. I've had this line of Christ's rolling around in my head... "He that cometh to me shall never hunger, he that believes in me shall never thirst" I'm not saying I'm complete... it just I think I ate something new this week

I'm no longer interested in those who state loud and clear... "Christianity is THE way" I have eaten this "bread" Christ refers to from the hand of other beliefs. Malidoma Some, a West African, oversaw the spiritual practices of the week. Michael Meade told a Blackfeet story, worked with dreams and mythology in the most amazing way. Doug Von Koss truly brought us closer to eachother and the divine through song. Robert Bly layed down amazing poem after amazing poem... so couragous, artistic, funny... so inspiring.

Please go to Micheal Meade's link and order up a disc or two of his talks. drive around and listen to it...
I bet you'll have to pull over a few times to laugh, cry, holler or just thank.
If you've got balls... don't miss this conference next year. Hidden Wine

A banner evening at Lake Harriet. The weather was perfect. What a privilege. Thanks to those who came out for the music.

A special thanks to Sam , who bravely played bass with us for the first time. She did a great job. Nice to have an XX chromosomed on stage again... it's been a while.

So this is the big advertisement for the Minnesota Men's Conference. If you're a guy and looking for something... I mean, is your life so good that you don't want to try anything new? Most of us are looking... even suffering. The American man hits his mid thirties and starts to feel more and more isolated. Most of us resign to the idea that that's just how it is.

We discovered Robert Bly's MN Men's Conference a number of years ago. Amazing teachers! Amazing saunas! Amazingly bad beds! Amazingly rich week! Great for Young men 15 and up! Great for gray hairs too! It's like a pirate ship full of guys except there's no ship, no swords and everyone writes poetry. All beliefs honored! It'll blow your mind and your heart! Deep, fun and unpredictable.

Women, send your man, he'll be a better lover for it.

Paul and Tim are planning on it.

6 days long. 2 hours North. Sept 13-18, Camp Miller on Sturgeon Lake.

Minnesota Men's Conference

Paul's therapist recently hooked him up to a state of the art brain camera. Apparently it can actually take a picture of your thoughts! The therapist then began to say words out loud...like "wife" and "boss"... eventually she said "Brothers Frantzich" and this is the picture that was taken!

07.13.05

Paul and Tim are both off and doing a bit of Summer vacationing. Just as Paul was saying goodbye to Tim last Friday he said something like... " let's work on some songs while we're traveling". Tim said, "ok, how many?". Paul said, "let's each have two new ones when we get together next week" Tim said, "sounds good".

So this is how it works... Tim and Paul often agree to write a new song or two on a BrosFran imposed deadline and then they get together and play the new little babies for each other. Send good vibes for inspired writing!

See you at the Harriet Bandshell August 12.


07.01.05

As the G8 summit approaches. Get online and sign your name to help end worldwide poverty. This seems like the real deal headed up by Bono. Hopefully this can be the angel finger that taps on Pres. Bush's shoulder. Sign your name and check out their cool web page.

 

6.27.05

Just in last night from an amazing event in Park City, Utah. We played two nights of music for a generous group from Minnesota called YPO. I (Tim) got to tag along on a balloon ride 2000' above Utah.

On our trip I continued to read a book by Joseph Chilton Pearce called The Biology of Transcendence. Amazing work on the human heart and brain and their connectedness. Really important stuff to take in as Americans in the 21st century... especially if you're pregnant or raising children. Please check it out.The Biology of Transcendence. I love the biological term "Angel Lobe". It's a term for the most recently developed frontal part of our brain. It sort of miraculously appeared 40,000 years ago. It is where the human's potential lies in relationship and spirituality... the curious thing is in utero and during the first 21 years of life, a deep part of us is constantly deciding between Angel Lobe growth or the Reptilian brain (oldest part) growth. If we feel threatened we grow (and benefit from) the non-negotiable fight or flightReptilian brain... if we feel safe we grow our Pre-Frontal (Angel) Lobe. This is not based on hokey pokey new age research but on legit studies at Harvard and the like.... anyway, get the book.

To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.
Joseph Chilton Pearce

We must accept that this creative pulse within us is God's creative pulse itself.
Joseph Chilton Pearce

May you and yours grow your Angel Lobes!

It is thought by many that Solstice is a time when the veil between the seen world and the unseen world is at it's thinnest. Here's a Rainer Maria Rilke poem in that spirit.

translated by Robert Bly. Get this book it's amazing!


"I am too alone in the world, and not alone enough

to make every minute holy.

I am too tiny in this world, and not tiny enough

just to lie before you like a thing,

shrewd and secretive.

I want my own will and I want simply to be with my will,

as it goes toward action,

and in the silent, sometimes hardly moving times

when something is coming near,

I want to be with those who know secret things

or else alone.

I want to be a mirror for your whole body,

and I never want to be blind, or to be too old

to hold up your heavy and swaying picture.

I want to unfold.

I don't want to stay folded anywhere,

because where I am folded, there I am a lie.

And I want my grasp of things

true before you. I want to describe myself

like a painting that I looked at

closely for a long time,

like a saying that I finally understood,

like the pitcher I use everyday,

like the face of my mother,

like a ship

that took me safely

through the wildest storm of all.

 

6.12.05

What a sweet day to play music. Fluffy clouds spotting a blue sky. It's like we have not seen the sun in a year. Hope the Harriet Bandshell evening is like this. Thanks Servant of Christ Lutheran for having us in this morning. We've been playing that old gospel song Precious Lord, Take My Hand a lot recently... I think we've found another hymn that rocks. We first learned it because of a growing interest in Martin Luther King Jr. That was his favorite hymn. The great thing about it is that it's not about waiting for some distant peaceful heaven to come. (there are plenty of good old songs on that theme) But it's asking Spirit to help us stand up straight when we're tired... Help us stay in the game. The Staple Singers have a great version... we used theirs as a springboard into ours. Here we are in the Church parking lot sunning ourselves.

6.08.05

So last week Tim and his family were up at Robert Bly's Great Mother Conference... eight days of poetry, compelling science and music. Check it out some year, there is absolutely nothing like it. Great Mother Conference and as Long as we're waxing on about Bly's conferences... guys, head 2 hours north in September for the Minnesota Men's Conference. Warning! this is not for the weak at heart. We've attanded for the last four years... spiritual, artistic, suprising. Please call and talk with either of us if you're interested 612-339-0366 weekdays. This is a great source of life.

We played music at a couple of benefits recently. Amazing how those old hymns hold a bottomless stash of gold. Pilgrim Center Benefit (Rwanda Work) was a high point and a perfect birthday gift for Tim. Beth Gilliland put together an amazing show for the Domestic Abuse Project... that was grand too. Thanks to those who attended.

 

5.15.05

What an evening at The Fine Line! Again the dream band showed up...Noah Levy, John Munson, Joe Savage and Jeff Victor. We had a couple special guests. Tonia "I'll Take You There!" Hughes was amazing... and dancers and poet Laura and Michael were beautiful. Thanks to the Fine Line and anyone who came out! Our buddy Steve snapped this picture of the evening... at this point Paul was talking and Tim was standing in silent support.

 

5.01.05

May Day proved to be chok full of newnwss. We played at Excelsior Covenant for the 1st annual "American Gospel Music Festival". Joe rocked and the good Scott Malchow sat in on bass. We shared the service with Tonia Hughes, an amazing gospel talent... by the second service we combined on a few songs and a new good thing happened. This may mark the beginning of working more with Tonia, it was such a comfortable fit... and a new sound. Thanks to Steve Pitts and the crew at Excelsior Covenant for dreaming up and sponsoring the event.

12.9.04

Wow! What a fun and deep time that Fine Line Show was! What a pleasure to make music with those gentlemen... and what a warm breeze there was blowing around the room! Paul was standing on his own two feet and even shaking his bottom a bit. His leg is healing well. Thanks all who were at the show and also to those that came to the after party. We're thinking about songs for another Hymns disc... e-mail ideas. Think traditionally and broadly... from "Abide with Me" to "I Shall Be Released"

11 .10.04

Finished the new Harmonium CD a month ago just in time for our show that never happened because... Little brother Paul broke his leg in the ugliest way! Hospital for 4 days, 2 surgeries... BOOM! Now he's all screwed together and singing like a bird... Looking forward to the Fine Line on the Sunday after Thanksgiving... nice long weekend... by Sunday you'll be itchin' for something to do.

We recently played at sweet little Lake Jenny Covenant Church in Dassel, MN. evening concert...Man were the Northern Lights amazing... Tim, Paul and Joe (pedal steel guru) just stood in the little graveyard outside the church with our chins pointing up.
