Schooled as an architectural draftsman and radio broadcaster, and after a detour as a sometimes music journalist, roadie, and rock bassist, a move from behind the microphone to the front of the camera led to the current endeavors of R.D Francis as a screenwriter specializing in sci-fi, horror, and comedy. He now offers his rock journalism and fiction works on Smashwords.
Tales from a Wizard: The Oral History of Walpurgis recreates the tales of the band behind the ethereal and mysterious The Divine Comedy—an album known to the world as Phantom's Divine Comedy: Part 1. This new exploration into one of Detroit's most mysterious rock groups visits the band's earliest days in 1968 as they rehearsed in the basement bowels of a dilapidated Victorian home on the Rochester-Troy border and up its nationally released album in 1974 on Capitol Records—and beyond.
This intimate history tells the Phantom's story through the words of the family and friends, bandmates and musicians, and Detroit scenesters that spent time with, worked with, and witnessed the band live.
These are the continuing tales of the man who replaced Jim Morrison in the Doors.
R.D Francis previously explored the myth and legend of the Phantom in The Ghosts of Jim Morrison, the Phantom of Detroit, and the Fates of Rock 'n' Roll.
