 The day after his coronation, he was fired from his teaching duties at the University. He moved to neighboring Carrboro and, after a discussion with John Martin of the Chapel Hill Weekly, dubbed it "The Paris of the Piedmont." As some reality began to settle in, he began auditing courses in music and literature in hopes of becoming a writer and composer. He began Centipede Productions in 1984, and moved to Nashville in 1987. He has released a number of singer-songwriter and piano albums and, in 1998, released his first book of short stories, "A Summer's Tale." He sells his music and books to independently-owned stores across the United States and Canada. He has put over 304,000 miles on his 1988 Nissan Sentra in search of those stores (and a lucrative Nissan endorsement). He has spent much of this year plugging his song, "Old Lovers Waltz" (sung by Butch Baker) to country radio stations. (Having made 75 long-distance calls last month...many of them in disguised voices requesting "Old Lovers Waltz"...he's also in the process of searching for cheap long-distance service). Nyle Frank currently writes stories and creates music in Nashville, Tennessee. He will make his triumphant return to Carrboro on June 18, to serve as the Grand Marshal for Fête de la Musique 2000 parade, and for a performance at the ArtsCenter Earl Wynn Theater at 6pm.
