Frank Hovington

Frank Hovington

Franklin "Frank" Hovington (January 9 1919 — June 21 1982), also known as "Guitar Frank", was a blues musician (singer/guitarist/banjoist) in the Piedmont style who lived in the vicinity of Frederica, DE. Later in life, he was recorded by Dick Spottswood, and Bruce Bastin (on a tip from folklorist Peter B. Lowry) with an album released on Flyright Records [UK] (now on CD), and, later, Rounder Records [US] . Additionally, selections were recorded by Axel Küstner and Siggi Christmann for German release, most recently issued by Evidence Records in the US. He was loath to travel so he did not play away from his Delaware home; he was afraid that he'd loose his welfare support payments if he did so. Therefor, he did not get the publicity from festival appearances that his talents deserved.
