Launch!

After nearly a year, we are happy to go live with a new and improved JoeFrank.com! Though it may not look all that different, as you navigate through the site — especially the shop and Membership — you’ll notice some changes on the front end as well as added products.

Importantly, we migrated the site to a new, more robust server. Now, we’ll be able to stream media at a higher resolution. (We are still in the process of re-encoding media and will update the site as it is completed.)

In addition to my daily work, I’ve spent a lot of time organizing, cataloguing and digitizing media – still incomplete, but I’m continuing undaunted. You’ll find more accurate show information that’s been updated from original reels, tapes and CDs, or captured on paper. Note that my efforts are ongoing, so not all shows reflect the corrections!

I’m very grateful for the effort and commitment of Logan, who has been with the site since we initially launched in 2003. Logan dedicated considerable time to improve site security with updates and plug-ins to the new server among other things.

We also welcomed Brandon onto the team, who offered to help and provided more than we could have hoped for to elevate the design and interface of the site.

They each have full-time day jobs and families, and I cannot fully express my gratitude for how much they’ve given to the site.

We are just beginning to add more to the Membership and for sale. If you are not already signed up for the Newsletter, it’s a good time to do it now! (On any page to the right.)

Enjoy, and as always, thank you for your support. It is because of you that Joe has a lasting legacy.

Take care,
Michal

And we finally have an About Us page where you can put the face behind our names!

LA Fire Impact

I live close to the perimeter of the Pacific Palisades fire in Los Angeles. As you can imagine, this week has been harrowing and stressful. My friends and I each know at least one person who lost their house along with everything they own. This is devastating. I was in an evacuation warning zone for a few days, but thankfully, that was lifted today by the LA Fire Department. However, things can change dramatically – as it did last Friday night when the winds changed direction and headed in my way. I didn’t wait for the mandatory evacuation alert, packed important items and stayed in a hotel Friday and Saturday night north of where I live. I returned late last night and grateful conditions have improved in terms of my small area.

As a result, I have not been able to adequately respond to JoeFrank.com needs. And, in fact, the air quality is so bad, I’ve decided to leave town this week (Jan 16) and will return on Jan 21st. Logan is also very busy with his day job but will be responding to urgent needs. And of course, he and I will be in touch daily.

Thank you for your patience,
Michal
