Yesss, the grandmasters of sophisiticated English folk-tinged harmony guitar playing that doesn't sound like Boston or some Southern Rock outfit! Let's not even mention Thin Lizzy and their children's melodies.
You gotta keep him, Mark, he might not be self-sufficient in the kitchen, but has exquisite musical taste!!!
I'm sure Frank's interest was entirely musical too. We wouldn't want ulterior motives to get in the way though you might want to somewhat limit Wishbone Ash viewing time for him to say, 15 minutes a week, Mark?

member of some Aussie outfit)
Little Laurie, the old harmony heartthrob and Susanna Hoffs dead ringer! The other Ashers used to make fun of him because he had his own Japanese girls fan club who, of course, all called him "Laulie".

But he wasn't just a poster pretty boy, all the other band members agreed that when he joined the band, everyone had to try harder because he was extremely fluid on guitar and brought many chops and much musical knowledge with him. His predecessor, Ted Turner, was a more intuitive player, but with no band experience prior to WA. Laurie had recorded with Home and toured as a member of Al Stewart's backing band. After WA he played with Tina Turner and Roger Chapman plus of course in the stage band of the Queen "We Will Rock You" musical, hand-picked by Brian May.
