Franc Aledia

Franc will drop in briefly again in his Hometown of Columbus, Ohio to perform. Franc spent the week in New York and will return in time to take the stage Friday, play Saturday and then it's off again to Charlotte, NC for the final southern appearance of the year. (more to come)

BACK TO CHARLOTTE!! Franc heads south for the weekend for two shows at Buckhead Charlotte. Stay in touch with "77 South" in the Blog section.

Franc performed LIVE @ LODGE BAR COLUMBUS for HALLOWEEN BASH 2009! It was an incredible event with some of the most AMAZING and "unique" costumes we have ever seen! Check out the pics from Halloween Bash 2009 and Halloween Bash 2008 in the PHOTOS section.

Franc will say goodbye to ONE7ONE tonight for the final time. With ONE7ONE moving back up fast and having to play more shows, and Franc working on a new record, writing in England with Kenny Brack in preparation for a new BRACK record, touring and oh yea, A MOVIE, Franc and the boys from ONE7ONE have decided to hug and say so long and good luck. "We all new that this time would come, just didn't think it would happen so fast!" shares Franc. "It's weird for me that the last show will be at Flannagan's where it all ended a couple years ago. I'm just glad, this time, ONE7ONE will still be going strong and rockin'. Hopefully, we'll share a Bill somewhere, sometime... I would love that." (for more on this check the Blog Section)

Franc left Thursday for Milwaukee to kick off the final leg of the 2009 roadie! The BMG tour will come to a close this year again at home in Columbus when he returns to LODGE BAR COLUMBUS to say goodbye to 2009 and "HELLO!" to 2010 on New Years this year for the BIGGEST PARTY Columbus will have on that amazing night! "Who knows what 2010 has to offer! I hope big, big things, but no matter what, BMG, all my friends, this circuit and this year has been awesome to me and I hope I continue well into two thousand and whatever!" Says Franc.

If I Knew

If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
And pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time
That I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
And call you back for one more.

If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
So I could play them back day after day.

If I knew it would be the last time,
I could spare an extra minute
To stop and say "I love you,"
Instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.

If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
Well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
So I can let just this one slip away.

For surely there's always tomorrow
To make up for an oversight,
And we always get a second chance
To make everything just right.

There will always be another day
To say "I love you,"
And certainly there's another chance
To say our "Anything I can do?"

But just in case I might be wrong,
And today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
And I hope we never forget.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
Young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
You get to hold your loved one tight.

So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
Why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
You'll surely regret the day,

That you didn't take that extra time
For a smile, a hug, or a kiss
And you were too busy to grant someone,
What turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today,
And whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
And that you'll always hold them dear

Take time to say "I'm sorry,"
"Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes,
You'll have no regrets about today.

Tonight will mark the end of an era. The last notes will ring from the stage, appropriately, from the band that started it all there-ONE7ONE. When the band leaves tonight, scattered amongst the spilled sweat and alcohol, there will be nothing more than memories and tears. Don't miss this last opportunity to see ONE7ONE at CBR's, and say goodbye to an old friend.

Franc will be performing at Gatsby's in Gahanna for what is scheduled to be his last performance in the Columbus Ohio area for a very long time. His band, Bling Crosbys (www.blingcrosbys.com) , has relocated to Charlotte, NC and has just started their long-term engagement with the legendary "Buckhead Saloon" this past weekend. Come out and party with Franc tonight! With Bling Crosbys tour schedule, and 2 other BIG projects on the horizon for Franc (more on those later), this could possibly be one of the last Columbus appearances of the year. Don't miss it!

Franc left to embark on a national tour starting in Philadelphia and ending in Milwaukee the end of this summer. Plans are already under way to start a fall tour that will take him into 2010! This tour is a combination of the BMG music circuit tour, Jagermeister Music Tour Presents and MaRecords Preview Party Showcase which will be all original and will feature Franc performing all NEW originals solo-acoustic in very intimate settings like New York’s, “The Bitter End”. Song's will be chosen for the next record based on popularity. Shows will be added continuously to the tour so keep checking the "Tour Dates" section on this site for all the latest dates!

Halfway there!! That's a line from a killer song by Marc Broussard that I had to quote! Sorry for the long "no update" bender! I have been incredibly busy with plenty of crazy crap on the horizon! I will be blogging like mad starting today so I can keep everyone in the loop that wants to be in the loop. As some of you may already know, I am in the process of working on a couple of amazing projects (one in NY and one HUGE ASS project in LA) while still touring all over the country singing and "playing" but I finally got a laptop so I can stay in touch not only with my family and friends a little better, but also be able to blog and write some new tunes! I'm excited about the next couple of months to come so please share it with me and feel free to email me anytime! i'd love to hear from you!! - big love, Franc
