This is really nice! The thing that most drew me to Frank was the nudity in many of his performances, so this really hit the mark for me. Thank you so much for this. I do hope that you folks are doing well these days. Sincerely, Gerald

It becomes clear that Frank carved out spaces where "normal rules" didn't apply, where almost anything could happen and usually did.
