 notes:

Frank Otis Frost (April 15, 1936 or 1938 – October 12, 1999) was one of 
the foremost American Delta blues harmonica players of his generation.
Frost began his musical career at a young age by playing the piano for his 
family church. At the age of 15, Frost left for St. Louis, where he became
 a guitarist. At the age of 18, Frost began touring with drummer Sam Carr
 and Carr's father, Robert Nighthawk.[3] Soon after touring, he toured again
 with Sonny Boy Williamson II for several years, who helped teach him how 
to play the harmonica.
n the late 1970s, Frost was re-discovered by a blues enthusiast, Michael Frank, 
who began releasing albums on his Earwig Music Company label by the trio,
 now called The Jelly Roll Kings, after a song from their album, Hey Boss Man.
