As a Blue Grass Boy: Randall Franks was a Blue Grass Boy for about a month; he replaced Kenny Baker after the band returned from a Japanese tour on which Tater Tate filled in on fiddle. Franks occasionally switched to bass so Tate could be featured on a fiddle tune. He was still in school and returned to finish rather than pursuing a full-time career at that point. Before and After: Randall Franks has continued to perform and record bluegrass and Southern gospel music, but is perhaps best known as an actor. He played Officer Randy Goode on the television series "In the Heat of the Night" from 1988 to 1993.
