I'll miss him.  Because of FF I knew what to ask Mariachis to play.

Status: offline 		Come to find out, I do know Freddy. However, that was what he changed his name to from his origianal Latino name. That was the confusion. I've only known him as the BeBop Kid which was his nick when he started singing in the fifty's.

Anyhow, let his death be a reminder to use your gifts for as long as you can. Lung cancer for a singer has to suck.

Rest In Peace Freddy.
