Hi! My name is Isobelle Louise P. Mahimer. I like to check
the website of Menudo and Ricky Martin's concert here Hawaii.
I've seen the Behind Music of Ricky Martin. The Menudo performed
and made a video here in Hawaii. It seem they did a good job what
they are doing.
Well! I hope to hear from you.

Freddy,
Met you in Decatur, Illinois when you played with Jerry Lee Lewis.
While we were in the Lounge, you were so kind to invite our group
to your table, you were very hospitable.
Just a couple of years ago you while performing at Laughlin, my
sister asked you to call my mother, who has always been a great
fan of yours, and to here surprise, you called. Freddy, my mother
is now 91 years old and is very concerned about you. She is praying
for you and hopes that everything will be OK. I was in the audience
in Indio this past spring at the Date Festival - I thoroughly
enjoyed your concert and I too hope that you are feeling better.
Two Great Fans,

Hey, Freddy! I just dropped by to say "hola" and
wish you and your the very best. I am always so very proud to
brag about being in the right place at the right time when we
recorded "Wasted Days" and Dryl Norris couldn't make
the session so I got to play drums on the song. Say.... do you
remember that July 4th gig in Poteau, Oklahoma waaaaay back in
'76 ("Wolf Mountain Weekend") ???? WOW! We flew you
in to the backstage area in a chopper! HAHAHAHA! How did we all
live through THAT one!?? Come by my site anytime, old friend.

inspiration to our people in the Valley and all over. Don't give
up now; faith moves mountains. Y Dios es muy Grande!

Dear Freddy,I am a big fan and always have been. I won't say
any dates because it makes " us " sound old. I hope
you are feeling better and hanging in there. My husband has the
same illness, with no signs yet. I hope you have nothing to do
but read your email as you should be taking it easy.I have seen
you in person and missed you at 4th & B . I pray along with all
your fans and family for your health to be restored. Love all
the great music you have given us and as you see here, you have
a lot of "older" groupies,and the young ones too, out
here waiting for the next song and concert.. and still listening
to the past hits." LORD " be with you..Adina

performances. The first one was at the ACES Club in La Puente.
We been to Ventura and also to Banning Park in Wilmington to see
you. Haven't been able to catch your act in Laughlin, NV for other
reasons. You are usually there when we are. We have all the TEXAS
TORNADOES cassettes and heard the SUPER SEVEN once. I also have
some of your old albums. We love your music and we have introduced
it to several people that really get hooked on it. You are in

Freddy-- I noticed Jesse Ochao wrote you from Studio M in Dec
1999 about your
recording of 'Limo' and getting the Pic's for you to see.
My question--do you really read these messages or is it a fan
club.
My wife and I love your music and I was sorry to hear you were
ill.
You keep puttin' 'em out and we'll keep buyin' 'em.

Freddy,
Im just signing this for my mother "Maria Soccoro Mesa".
I have heard many stories about you and my Tio Charlio Mesa growing
up as childern down in the Vally. You were here some time ago
in Minnesota and my mother asked the security gaurd if she could
go back ask say hello. You told the gaurd to bring her back ASAP.
You don't know how much she has appreciated you taking the time
to talk to her about the good ol' days and dedicating almost every
song to her. I myself need to tell you THANK YOU. She is not doing
to well these days. She has gone blind due to Diabetis and now
all she has is your memories of the good ol days. As for my Tio
Charlio Mesa, I regretfully have to say he has past away this
past Dec. 27,2000. He will be missed as I know you will miss him
also. You will be in my prayers and I wish for you to get well
soon.. I wish I would have had the pleasure of meeting you and
sing a song together for my mother. If that was to happen... heck..
I dont know what I would do. But I will keep sing Karaoke of your
music to her , as this makes her smile. Get well soon from my
mother 'Maria Soccoro' and myself and you will be in our prayers.
God Bless.

DEAR FREDDY: Yesterday we drove 7 hrs from Gainesville to Homestead
Fl. to have the opportunity to see you in concert. The opening
act came on almost an hour late due to technical difficulties
( so they said ) but we waited patiently for you to take the stage.
You can imagine what happened when they announced that you had
taken ill and would not be appearing. The audience was devistated.
You see it was not for the music but for you the man. We immediately
offered up some prayers for your recovery. I know that your family
is preoccupied with caring for you, but if there is someone who
could let us know how you are doing it would greatly be appreciated.
We only have access to this site in most cases for any update.
Personal to Freddy, you should know that from the crowds reaction
that you are loved and cared about greatly. All you fans and friends
are wishing you only the best. You are loved by many. Please keep
fighting, you are in our prayers. Always Barbara Ann

HI, it's me again. I was just able to secure tickets to your
concert Saturday night in Homestead, Fl. It is going to take some
fancy footwork to get there but I am determined.It is a 7 hour
ride and I have to work Sat. Morning We will be pushing it to
get there in time to see you take the stage. Wish me luck. I hope
to see you at the post concert party. I could not believe that
you are actually going to be close enough for me to see you. I
recently ordered several of your CDs and cassettes I cant wait
for them to arrive. I love to listen to you sing just about anything
but I especially enjoy when you sing in Spanish it has sparked
my interest in relearning the language. I probably understand
more than I can speak but I hope to be able to speak fluently
in just a matter of time. I hope this message finds you feeling
well. My prayers are with you. Keep fighting. Always Barbara

I just went to your concert in February
24,01 in Tacoma, WA. I thought you really look so good, it's just
made me wanted to leave my husband for you. So when can you come
back to WA to sing again for me, but this time only for me my
birthday is on November 26 I will be waiting for you. Your performance
was outstanding. I run a Resort at La Push , WA we are on the
beach when ever you want to get away from the world this is the
place. I will give the nights that you want on me. My work number

Freddy, I hope you are doing well. Are you going to be on any
TV shows in the near future?? I always think of you being on the
Nash Bridges Show or David Letterman. Also, we have been talking
about a song that has a lyric; "Take a letter, Maria, address
it to my wife, say; I won't be coming home, got to start a new
life" I know I heard you sing that song before but someone
here at work said it was Tony Orlando. I know he sang he song,
too. Did you write it? What is the title? Is it on any of your
albums? I looked through them on the site but did not see a title
that I thought fit the song. If someone gives replies, I hope
I receive one. Best of luck to you.

I got to see you for the first time at the Emerald Queen Friday
night. I was seated very close to the stage, so I was able to
get the full effect of your mesmerizing performanace. You have
so much magnetism and charisma and I am more of a fan than I ever
was before. I was so moved by the passion you express in your
music. It is so good to hear an entertainer who sings with so
much feeling and is able to convey that to the audience. The look
in your eyes was of a person who has overcome many defeats and
won many victories. You are an inspiration and I will never forget
your show and how you so captivated me. See you next time you
are in this area! Linda Smith, Tacoma, Wa Feb 25, 2001

Freddy: I hope your doing better. I Email a couple of my friends
from the Calif, Days, Like Don (Buck) Felts. He told me of some
other friends that I hadn't heard from in Years. Vangie, I still
haven't received or heard from anyone who has pictrures of our
years together on the Road. I also would like to get a copy of
the TV show we did in Canada on Ronnie Propfet Show. Or any other
show we did. Anyway I hope your doing fine and that you get well
soon. Vangie, You keep your chin up. Freddy will get better. He
such a fighter and God is with both of you to get through this.
I know I Pray for Freddy and you every night. Also at each of
my shows A prayer is given on stage each night. GOD BLESS YOU

Freddy,
I wanted to thank you again for being generous for a pic. I'm
pretty sure I said
Vangie's name right but if I didn't I'm sorry. As for the show
"SUAVE", Abe always keeps your legacy alive for people
by playing your videos
every couple weeks and the interview every couple months that
you gave us 2 yrs ago. Our prayers and love are with you and hope
that you stay strong and get well.
Not only we want you to but the fans as well. Last night's concert
at the Emerald Queen Casino was absolutely fantastic. Hopefully
you might be able to get one of these
electric and vibrant performances on CD or Video or DVD. I talked
to alot of people last night and they would love to see a concert
like that imortalized on a digital disc.
Like I said before thank you for all you have done. I will never
forget how kind and patient you were and that I got to meet a
wonderful legend twice..

Hi Freddy,
I wanted to see you back in September but I had surgery on Aug.31,2000.I
tried to give my ticket away but nobody wanted to go, I had front
row seats to see you and Little Joe.I saw Little Joe at Las Vegas
in December.I heard last night at a concert in 4th & B in San
Diego, from Sabastian Gomez, that is a promoter that brought you
here at the staff club on base, and he told me that you were ill.Take
one day at a time and God will be with you and I will pray for
you.You've been my idol since I was 15, when I first saw you at
Del Mar Fairgrounds.I saw you back in December of 99 and got to
talk to you then.I missed you last time in Indio, Ca on the 17th.Take
care of yourself and I'll write to you soon.Please come back to
this area!!

Fairfield, CA concert on Feb. 16, from backstage. Thank you & the
rest of the band for putting on such a wonderful show! You have
hardcore fans in Solano County; even though your flight was delayed,
no one left the theater before you arrived. The band played for
two hours while we waited for you. Your illness came as a big
surprise to me & I want you to know that I am praying for you.

Dear Mr. Fender. I never had the chance to meet you face to
face, but I have known about you for a long, long, long, time,
in fact I use to work for an alarm company that has the contract
with you on your home alarm system, and we had to respond to your
home a couple of times on a false alarm thank goodness it was
false alarm, because I would never want any thing to happen to
you or your family or home. I just thought I would send you best
wishes, and may God Bless you and watch over you, yours truly

Hi Freddiy,
Sorry to hear about your illness We carught your show
with Auggie and the rest of the rest of the group last December
at The Hop and it was announced over the radio the next day. -I
know you'll have a speedy recovery. I videotaped your concert
in Sparks Nevada backin 1995 gave you a copy later that year when
you
appeared in San Bernardino, Ca later that year.
I hope you were able to see it and enjoy it
You were really cool about it and I always wanted to
let you know I really appreciated it and I've been your
avid fan ever since
We'll be checking your schedule and see you when you're back out
this
way --Maybe in Indio.

Hi Freddy! I was raised on your music
in the 70's and loved it. You have a voice straight from the heavens!
My daughter recently asked, "who's Freddy Fender?" when
I requested one of your cd's for Christmas. She found it for me
& I play it every nite while I'm on the computer. (She's hooked
on your music now too!)
I was hoping you would be coming to Canada soon so I could take
her to your concert. Then I was so saddened to hear of what you
are going through with your illness. Hang tough though! You are
dearly loved by all your fans.
You keep a positive attitude, we'll keep the prayer chain going
& sooner than you think, my daughter and I will be sitting in
front row center listening to your beautiful voice!!! It will
happen... my husband was on his death bed 2 1/2 yrs. ago....but
with POSITIVE THINKING and constant prayers, he's back with us,
healthy and strong again.
Feel our Love and Best Wishes for you, and strength for your loving
family.
Waiting patiently & praying daily in Canada for you,

Hey Freddie
You were our first show at Hon-Dah Casino in AZ, I don't think
you ever knew we were still hanging cans an hour before the show,
the only gels we had were purple, as a result YOU were purple
all night. Hope you didn't think we planned that. Anyway, you
were a perfect gentleman about it, great show. I am doing a summer
series concert here and am thinking you would be the perfect act
to close the series, kind of bring it all home. Let me know, all
my best. mark

even get one. Freddy do you realize its been over 23 years that
we worked together off & on. I hope your feeling better. I'm still
having trouble with the old ticker. Now I can keep in touch with
you. I went through all the messages and found some of my old
friends when I was in Calif. I will contact them. You know this
would be a good time to see if any of your fans have pictures
of all of us on stage back in 70's. I would sure like to see or
get copies. As you know, I'm having a little trouble working this
PC, but I' having a ball. It seems so strange that I started out
playing Bass with you than Piano. I do love seeing the guys Augie,charles
jr, and the rest. I do miss Doug and want everybody know what
a great enterainer & friend he was. We who knew him as friend
and his fans will miss him. Well Freddy, I/m still playing in

Hi Freddy,
My wife asked me to read this articl in the "Ledger"
(Lakeland, Florida) titled "Fender Accepts Fate of Hepatitis
C" by John Tedesco of the San Antonnio Express News.
My wife has much in common with you. After my wife recuperated
from a five hour sleep appnea operation, we went to Portugal for
a holiday. Upon return came to our winter home in Florida. Not
long after this my wife became ill. After a few days a doctor
suggested a possible serious liver problem. Our insurance provider
ordered my wife fly home the next (Peterborough, Ontario).
It took months to find out she had Hepatitis Auto Immune which
they say was probably in the system and surfaced after extensive
anesthetics. Although a none drinker she has acquired Chronic
Hepatitis and is stuck with a half a dozen pills daily. After
reading your plight she is fortunate.
In closing I wish you well with your battle.

Hi! Balde,
Do you remember me??? Samuel Valdez's daughter Juanita. My son
was asking all about you because he read the newspaper about you.
I told him that the last time I saw you, we were on our way to
New Mexico in the back of my Uncle Carlos's truck to work the
onion fields. I remember getting very car sick and you giving
me Juicy Fruit Gum and you told me that it would help me with
the car sickness. I also remember all the songs that you sang
while we worked to cheer us up. What I really wanted to say, is
that I am sorry that I never stayed in touch with you and that
I wanted to say that you have always been in my thoughts and I
pray that you will get well soon. Please let me hear from you.
God Bless,

My wife and I have enjoyed U and your music over the years.
It is rather ironic I was in New Hampshire last year and had not
thought of your music in a long time. My friend has a cousin that
is a Vice President at a bank. We went to A Red Sox game and we
were talking about country music and blues. Low and behold I mentioned
your name and said I have heard nothing in years and he came to
a party that I was attending and he said U like Fender look in
my duffle bag and he had cd's galore , Fender. He told me to take
the one I wanted. Needless to say it has Wasted Days, and Wasted
Nights, Till the Next Teardrop falls, etc. My wife has spent 8
hours of listening to the same cd today. You have had one hell
of a career and brought a great deal of enjoyment to a world of
people!!!!!!!!!!! May GOD bless
and all end well with U.

as well. He will have to be maintained under dialysis for
now. Your prayers are deeply appreciated. Masses will be
held again for the month of Feb. 9th & 23rd.
Power of prayer heals!
Thank you all for your lovely messages and prayers.
From Freddy's Family
God Bless you all!

Hi Freddy,
I read the article that was in my newspaper today (1-29-2001)
about your struggle with Hep C. I was diagnosed with Hep C about
4 years ago and have been down the interferon road also trying
to get rid of it. I picked up Hep C from numerous blood transfusions
due to a vehicle accident in 1985. I know what you are going thru
with Hep C - the current treatments make you sicker just trying
to get well (just like chemotherapy for cancer). I remember very
well your music contributions to us all, keep on playing that
guitar of yours and sing. I would like to hear how you are doing
with your recovery in the future if you could e-mail me and stay
in touch.
Thank you,
Dave

They say Misery Loves Company and I can see I have thousands
of Miserable Fans as company BUT we would not be miserable if
you were to get your needed transplants soon and then have a speedy
recovery. I read the article about you in a Calif. newspaper and
it was wonderful and brought me up to date on you, your condition
and to find out that Vangie is your wife. Lucky you, she is such
a nice person and the cross she is carrying right now is not a
light one but must weigh a ton. Bless both of you and with this
comes our love and prayers. The Dudes.

of you and my daughter, which hangs in my office wall. I was thinking
of the good old day at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds ('70-'76)
when you worked for me. It was a long, long time ago, and You,
as well as I have been down that winding road many times. But,
Thank God! We know that at the end of that road. Both of as will

Freddy my Man,
Hope your feeling well.I live in Midland and have always enjoyed
your music. I worked at an Exxon in 1972 (I believe)
and filled your bus up with gas about 3:00 am in the morning.Seem's
like you were headed to another show. Sorry to hear about your
kids and liv. Im going through the same deal with looking for
a liver transplant because of Hepatitis C. I was diagnosed 5 years
ago and it's starting to catch with me. I have no idea where I
could have gotton it from, but the doctor told me I could have
had it since high school. You think there's there's any relation
between
hep. C and Bad Gas at Exxon? (Just Kidding) Anyway, I'll keep
you in my prayers and get down on your jams.
Keep Your Chin Up and your Tunes Coming Out. Thanks, Kelly

Freddy, may God send you your renewed health soon. You've brought
happiness to so many people, surely that counts for something,
right? My Dad was one of your biggest fans, and for one of their
last wedding anniversary together, I gave my folks tickets to
your concert in Merriville, IN. Well you think I would have given
him tickets to Hawaii, he was thrilled and they truly enjoyed
your show. They managed to get your autograph and my Dad shared
with you that they were from Pharr, TX. He was so happy and I
thank you for giving that beautiful memory to my Dad who passed
away only two months after he saw you in concert. I became one
of your fans mostly due to my Dad's love of country music and
I had the pleasure of seeing you with the Texas Tornadoes when
you performed at the Cubby Bear here in Chi-town. Thanks for the
memories y que Dios te bendiga Freddy.

Dear Freddy.
We are so sorry to heare about your illness. We wish you all the
best and pray for your speedy recovery. Your songs are a bigger
part of our musical life. When we have our nice cosy "staying
home" evenings your voice fills the atmosphere with joy and
romance. From "Entering Our Hearts" to the very "Last
Teardrop" we realy are "Leaving It All Up To You"
before we are swept away on "Silver Wings".
We have plans to visite friends in San Antonio & Corpus Cristi
this summer. Hopefully you will be out of hospital and back on
the stage by then. If luck is on our side you might even be performimg
in Texas. If so we will be first in line to see and hear you.
Our greatest wish for the future. Anyway you can be sure that
you will always be in our hearts and mind as one of the VERY BEST
country singers ever. We wish you all God's Blessing with your
surgery and
you will be in al our prayers.

DEAREST FREDDY I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR YOU ARE ILL. MY PRAYERS
ARE WITH YOU. I CANT BELIEVE THAT YOU JUST CAME INTO MY LIFE AFTER
ALL THESE YEARS. I ALWAYS LIKED YOUR MUSIC BUT WAS NEVER REALLY
A FAN. I DONT KNOW HOW IT HAPPENED BUT RECENTLY I WAS INTRODUCED
TO AN ALBUM BY THE TEXAS TORNADOS AND TO MY SURPRISE YOUR INCREDIBLE
VOICE REACHED OUT AND TOUCHED MY HEART. THE SONG WAS "IF
THATS WHAT YOUR THINKING" IT JUST MADE ME CRY. ANYONE THAT
HAS THAT POWER TO MAKE YOU CRY OR SMILE BECAUSE OF THE WAY A SONG
WAS DELIVERED IS AN ANGEL ON EARTH FOR ME. YOU ARE MY ANGEL. I
WISH I COULD BE YOUR GUARDIAN ANGEL IN THESE UNCERTAIN TIMES IN
YOUR LIFE. KNOW THAT THERE ARE ANGELS THAT ARE WATCHING OVER YOU
AND WILL PROTECT YOU. THERE ARE TO MANY SONGS TO BE SUNG AND TOO
MANY SMILES YOUR FANS NEED TO GIVE YOU. THANK YOU FOR BEING. ALL

Freddy, Ilived in San Benito in the late 50's moved from Galveston
to live with my grandparents there. You use to hang around with
my uncles. I moved to Houston in 1961 and have been here ever
since. I remember you well. I remember seeing you in Galveston,
Houston, and the Pasadena Rodeo. I know your brother Mel. He used
to call your mom from my home quite often. He called me to let
me know when she passed on. When I found out you were ill I immediately
called my uncles some who remained in San Benito some have moved
to California. Our prayers are with you. I sing a little bit now
and then. The favorite that is requested from me is "Before
The Next Teardrops Falls". I could never do the song justice.
You mean so much to your fans here in Houston, Texas. I hope to
see you perform again soon. Take it easy so my dream will come
true to see you again. We love you The Morehead Family. God Bless
You.

For many years you have entertained us and made us happy. Keep
up the good work and I will honor you with prayer and good thoughts.
Your Good friend,

I would like for you to know just how disappionted we where
in the cancellation of your show at Houston. My friend April's
father was killed years and years ago. The only tape recording
he had ever given her was of you. She listened to it over and
over again through out her youth. Last night she had hoped to
see you live,a sentimental, musical reconnection with her past.
You broke her heart when you cancelled. Will you be there before
the next tear drop falls?

I recently read about your illness. Hope you are responding
well and on the road to recovery. As a Beaumont boy and old musician
myself (way back when Mr. Meaux ruled) I have always been a fan
and admirer. In fact I even put a Tex-Mex tune called "That's
So 1999" on our most recent CD. I still listen to you often
and by the way there ain't been nobody yet that has nailed "Once
I Had A Secret Love" the way you did! Keep the faith and
get well soon...

Dearest Freddy
My sister and I caught your show last friday 12/01 in Reno, at
the Peppermill, and as usual you were great! My heart broke when
you announced your illness, I could actually feel what you were
feeling, I know cause I've been where your at now, yep for 20
years now, I stared dailysis right after my daughter was born
in 1980, she'll be 21 in March. I just wanted you to know that
life doesn't have to end, just think of this as a bump in the
road and you will get past it. When did you start dailysis? I
hope it is going well for you. I know how it just drains you,
and takes alot out of you. So I hope you get to see this, it would
mean alot to me to hear back from you..
Thanks for the great music.
Take care of yourself and keep your chin up...SMILES@FF

I've been listen to your music for a few years now. My Grampa
was a big fan of you and the Tornados, and after he passed away,
I recieved all his albums and 8-tracks. Mostly Elvis and Ranchero
music. I now am a fan of yours in memory of him. My favorite song
is Esta Noche Mia Seras.

Hi there Freddy & Fans,
Wish you a speedy recovery, I haven't heard any of your music
since I was a child in New Zealand. 30yrs on the neighbours were
playing the gutiar and singing some of your songs. I was over
the moon as it bought back so many precious memories. For that
I thank you. Peace & God Bless

You may not remember this, but I have a small memory of this one
evening you came over to my parents house. I couldn't have been
more than four years old. You and my father were friends. I remember
the two of you singing and playing the piano. My little sister
and I danced around the two of you. I'm glad I have that small
memory and I want to thank you for that.
Good luck.

I pray that God will take care of you like you deserve. You have
touched so many lives with your gift, especially mine. I was lucky
enough to have a front row center seat for your afternoon concert
in Perris last month. I had my 15 year old daughter with me. We
had so much fun! Of course we stayed for the second show. Thank
you for the autograph and the smile. We love you Freddy and will

Dear Freddy,
I just want to add my words of encouragement and my prayers for
you. You have provided me with many exciting moments in music
from the first time I heard Before the Next Teardrop Falls (and
wish I had a dollar for every time I played it as a DJ back then,)
to hearing you sing Secret Love at the DJ Convention, to all the
other times I saw you in the "early days" - then when
I worked for John Penny, and he often backed you up on shows in
the Northeast, to that awesome night when the Tornados played
at Johnny D's. You were so close to the edge of the stage I thought
you would fall off, your singing was so intense, and people were
screaming right in your face. I read your comments the other day,
where you said if you had to make it on your looks, you would
never have made it. Well, a lot of us think you're pretty cute!!
You're a real treasure, you're one of a kind, and my friends and
I are wishing you all the best.

there was this white horse coming over the hill there from the
back headed toward the stage and everybody thought it was part
of the show when the horse reached the stage he was announced
(by this time the whole hill was headed out to the parking lot
ready to leave including myself) so I'm walking and everybody
is talking about how great the show was....WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN

We checked your schedule and found out that you will be appearing

Dear Freddy, I saw you at two of your concerts this year,one
in Costa Mesa and one in Escondido with my Aunt Kathy Silva. She
is totally in LOVE with you. I've always known who you were because
my parents would listen to you when I was smaller but was never
really into your music till my Aunt asked me to take her to your
concert. I really enjoyed it. We sat there and danced in our seats,clapped,laughed,and
even cried a little. I'm only 25 but some of your songs brought
back memories for me too. You sure hear that alot dont you? Well,
now I've been a fan for about 4 months but my Aunt Kathy has been
for 26 years. She has all your tapes and cd's. Everybody knows
she loves you and we call her Mrs. Fender. She has written you
alot of letter's but has never gotten a response. Maybe as a surprise
you can E-mail her at my address and I'll show it to her. Could
you please do that for me? Even the shortest message would really
make her happy. Keep up the good work in making so many memories
for people and keeping them happy.

Hi Freddy,
I just happened to come across you web site via an e-mail from
a fellow musician friend.
It's nice to see that you are still out there making the music.
I'm still gigging out here in L.A..
Often with Archie and JD from the old Palomino Riders Band. We
still talk about those days and how much we enjoyed working with
you. We did some great gigs didn't we. The Midnight Specials,
Carnegie Hall, Hollywood Bowl, they were a lot of fun. I'm going
to try
to catch you the next time your out here in my neck of the woods
again. I'd like to say "hi". Oh, by the way,
I never did get a copy of my song that you recorded. I'm still
waiting to hear you sing it!
Take care and best wishes to you.

Que pasa Freddie. I just wanted to let you know I have always
enjoyed your music. I remember as a child sitting on my grandfather's
lap and listening to "Before the next teardrop falls".
He has since passed on, but hearing your music brings back some
wonderful childhood memories. Gracias!

Hola Freddy, Like so many others, I came to love you and your
music when I was a child listening my my father play your records
and my mother sing along. I am now 36 and my father has since
passed but your music helps me stay connected to those memories.
For that I will be forever grateful. I saw you in concert at the
Pechanga Indian Reservation twice and am looking forward to seeing
you in my hometown of Perris,CA on Oct 15th. I will take my three
children to see you for the first time. I know they will love
you as I do and my father before me did.
Your fan forever, Sylvia Del Rio

Hola Freddy,
Ever since I was a toddler, I remember listening to your music
on my Dad's booming 8-track system. Man, those were the days!
Unfortunately, my Dad's 8-track died but your songs remained memorably
in our household. But,with the advent of the CD, I now have your
collection of Greatest Hits.
Gracias por tu musica,

Dear Freddy,
My dad says that you recorded a song on a movie soundtrack a few
years ago about illegal Mexican immigrants. He believes the movie
was titled "Across the Border Line" or something similar.
He says the song you performed was one of the nicest songs he's
ever heard and would very much like a copy if you could tell us
how to get one. I've searched on the internet, including your
website, but I can't find anything. Any info you could give us
would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the great music and we
look forward to seeing you in concert soon.

Dear Freddy Fender
I wanted to thank you, thank you and again thank you for the joy
and the entertainment you broght into my life. Whenever I feel
down and worn out, I put up one of your records. There was not
one incident I can think of your music has not brought me up again.
Additionally, I wanted to tell you that my birthday is also June
the 4th; maybe that is one of the more mystical connections I
have to you and your music. Although I do not really speak and
understand Spanish, I sometimes got the feeling that I exactly
perceive what you express in those songs. One of theses examples
is "El Cielito Lindo". Thank you Freddy !!!

Freddie,
I'm 30 years old and I guess I've been what you call a "closet"
fan. My memories of your music are intertwined with the memories
of my own father. He passed away when I was a teenager & unfortunately
it was at a time in my life that my dad wasn't "cool".
Of course now I regret not being closer to him, butI do have the
memories of when I was a kid and idolized him. Many of these memories
include your music - yours were songs I remember singing with
my dad in his car. When I downloaded your songs, the words came
to me as though I just went for a ride with my dad yesterday.
Thank you for the memories...

of playing in a band that opened for you at a concert hall in

Freddy, My future mother in law has been
a HUGE fan of yours for many years. She is a wonderful person.Her
name is Corina. I don't have a mother, but I care for her as a
mother. Years ago, she was married to an extremely abusive man
who was insanely jealous. When he saw her watching you on tv or
listening to you on the radio, he would go into horrible rages
and accuse her of having an affair with you. "Mom" is
a very honest, humble, God fearing woman. She raised 4 kids by
herself. She is going to be 57 or 58 on October 21st. I see on
your calendar you will be in Vegas then. As a late birthday present
to "Mom" , our familia would very much appreciate it
if you would be so kind as to make a suprise visit when you come
back to Tejas the first part of November. PLEASE, Freddy, to this
day, this is the one thing she wants more than anything is to
meet you . Will you, or will you have someone email me back and
let me know if this is possible? I, too, grew up listening to
you. You are GREAT. May the good Lord continue to bless you.

I have been a fan of your music ever since I was four years old.
I would listen to my parents' Freddy Fender 8-track over and over
again. I'm engaged to a New Yorker who had never heard of you.
When I told him about your music he immediately bought a greatest
hits CD and has been a fan ever since! Keep keepin' it real, chico!

and compassionate Legend in the business.

Hola Freddy, me es muy grato poder saludarte, quisiera preguntarte
a cerca de una canción tuya que escuche en el año
1976-1977 que se llama "La buena Hierbita Mala", como
puedo conseguirla ?
Felicidades y gracias de antemano.

Freddy,
I have a question that you would be the best person to answer,
i have in my vague and distant memory of hearing a tape that I
seem to remember was recorded by you in studio 1 in Kingston,
you were doing some of your hits but with a ska / reggae back
beat, I heard the tape in 1985, I have no idea how old it was
at the time, and since I was reminded of it the other week I have
been trying to find out two things, 1, Is the tape a figment of
my imagination, 2, If it did exist and was you did it ever come
out as, or as part of an album? Over to you for any help on this
one, although I have addressed this to Freddie anyone with any
anwers would be greatly appreciated.
cheers

Hey, Freddy !!
I found this site surfing along one night. It reminded me of the
"old days" with Micky and Huey at Ben Jack's in Ft.
Smith. I'll never forget when Mickey called me and asked if I
had heard myself play on a #1 record before. That was in February
'75 when "Wasted Days" hit the top of the Billboard
Charts. We cut the tracks without you present and I wasn't even
aware what song I was playing on at the time. It was just
"another drum track" for me. Boy was I surprised! Then,
our paths crossed again a year later when you headlined "Wolf
Mountain Weekend" in Poteau, Oklahoma over the July 4th holiday.
I was stage manager for the concert and you made a big deal and
brought me out on stage to introduce me to the crowd. What a gas!

Hi Freddy,
I have to admit that I had never heard of you prior to 1975, my
husband and I had just met, and he asked me if I wanted to go
see Big Joe Turner and Freddy Fender at the San Gabriel Civic
Auditorium in San Gabriel, Calif. I said "Freddy Who?"
well that was the beginning of my love of your music, my husband
is from Mercedes, Texas and has been following your career since
he was a kid in Texas, needless to say whenever you are in town
we try to catch your show especially at The Taste of Texas. Well
Freddy I just want to say thanks for bring us many many years
of entertainment, keep up the good work, and we will see you the
next time yor are in town.

I have loved to listen to Freddy Fender sing since I was a
kid. I 'm now 51 years old and I have gone to seen him in person
several time in Yuma, Az for cinco de mayo. But have never been
really able to see him up close do to so many people and I can't
walk vedry far cause I had to strokes, since dec. 1999. I'm on
a fixed income so i can't afford all of his tapes, I would love
it if may he could send me a autograph picture of signed would
really make my day. He's the greatest!!!!!

spirits when she is down. Whenever she has went to see you in

Freddy, I was excited when I heard that you were going to be
at the Petaluma Fair. I brought my 3 and 5 year old girls with
me and they had a blast. My wife and suegra wanted to come but
couldn't make it. I talked with the gentleman at the merchandise
table about "How much is that Doggie..." and he sent
me an autographed tape the following week! Thank you! I love it!
Is there more that one version of that song? I recalled the line:
"I love that girl in California.." amd in the version
on the tape it goes: "I must take a trip to California, etc"
Just wondering...Anyhow, thanks so much for all of the years of
music and having such a great attitude.

Im not sure which one it is but it was in good shape, I sold the

message goes out to Michael, the 15 year old who wrote the 3 messages
below. Looks like you need some practice on the keyboard, pal,
your message was posted 3 times in a row. Anyway, I too was on
that flight with Freddy Fender from Houston to Portland, OR. I
joined it in Albuquerque. I remember you on the flight. At the
time I saw you talking with Freddy I knew that you were not aware
who he was and most people on the flight had no idea. In fact,
I spoke with him for a long time before I found out. He is a very
nice guy, as you found out. Very humble and down to earth. You
are correct about June 27th. Freddy said he will appear on a TV
show on PBS but I do not know the name of the show. I too have
asked if there was more info on this but so far I have not heard
back from whoever responds to these messages. I notice you live
in Plano, TX. That's where my parents live (small world). All
of us have one thing in common: Freddy Fender Fans !!!

Hi Freddy:
I too was sitting next to you on the flight from Houston to Portland,
remember? I'm only 15, so to be truthful, I really didn't know
who you were the entire time (mostly because we never asked each
other's names) but it was really cool to talk to you not knowing
your such a star. I hope your Lincoln City gig was good. Thanks
for the food on that long flight. :) I remember you saying that
your going to be on TV on the 27th or something, but I wasn't
sure that I heard you right. If you ever get a chance to read
this before then, could you post a reply just in the guestbook?
I don't have e-mail at the moment and I'm sure a bunch more people
who read the guestbook would be interested in it too. Thanks a
lot.

you would let drive your classic car. i was a single mother of

admired me because i was working so hard to take care of my family
and that you kept me in your prayers every night. well, i just
wanted you to know that both my children are happy well-adjusted
adults. i have married a very wonderful man and now live in delaware.
i no
longer work for min. wage. i manage a small restaurant and my
husband & i have enough to enjoy ourselves. thank you for your

i couldn't make it. god bless and keep you.

Hi Freddy! I have been a fan since I was a kid. You were the
very first performer I ever seen in concert. I was about 8 or
9 and my dad took me to see you along with Marty Robbins here
in San Diego. My dad loved your music so much. I wish he were
still alive, I would have loved to have taken my dad to see you
perform today. You are still the same vibrant performer you were
20 some years ago!! I try to see you whenever you are in San Diego!
Your music brings back so many great memories!

Hi Freddie;
I was the guy who sat next to you on the plane when you were traveling
from Houston to Albuquerque then on to Salt Lake City and finally
to Portland, Oregon. We had a nice conversation and I did not
even know who you were until I asked you what the name of your
band was and you said "I'm Freddy Fender". You were
going to play at a casino near Lincoln City. I hope it went well
for you. I want you to know it was a great thrill to meet and
talk with you. I have always enjoyed Tex-Mex music. Keep playing
music into that Twin Reverb amp!!! Mike

Happy Birthday to you, Freddy, from Nora Lindley in Illinois.
You called me a couple of years ago and I was really thrilled.
I often call the local radio station to request one of your songs
and the DJ there remembered that you had called me. Would love
to hear from you again (the number is 217/895-3l86, just in case).
I recently celebrated my 90th birthday and have been a fan of
yours for many years. Hope your birthday yesterday was just great.

Hi!
My name is Linda. I was very fortunate to be in the front row
of Mr. Fenders concert last night.
Mr. Chale Rich Jr. gave my husband
Larry (who works at the casino and helped the band) this email
address.
The concert was the greatest. I have been a fan for many years
and totally enjoyed myself. The terrific performance by Freddy
Fender, Charlie Rich Jr. and the rest of the band was great!!!!!!!!
The music brought back alot of great memories for both me and
my sister-in-law (who attended with me).
My sister-in-law saw Mr. Fender about 25 years ago when he was
in Saskatchewan. She to was melted by his voice and songs.
We would just like to thank Mr. Fender and all the band for the
terrific performance and the opportunity to see him perform.
We were somewhat disappointed that they didn't have any picture.
If it is at all possible would I be able to get an autographed
picture of both Freddie and Charlie
for myself and my sister-in-law Smiley(that's her nickname and
she sure lived up to it last night)
Well I won't keep you any longer thank-you for your time.

Nights" after a 1966 divorce. Is there a Freddy Fender or
Texas Tornados Songbook so I can get all the notes and words right

Hello again! Since I discovered this wonderful site, I went
and treated myself to a copy of FF Greatest Hits. I love it! I
was disheartened to find the lyrics were not included, so a-searching
I went. Hours later, frustrated, I decided to turn to you! :)
Do you know of any sites that may have his song lyrics with the
Spanish included? Would really appreciate any info. Thanks for
listening to me, Vangie!

FREDDY FENDER: HOW CAN I FORGET THE NAME OR THE FACE SINCE
I WAS 4YRS OLD I KNOW YOUR NAME. I WAS BORN IN MY FATHTER'S HOMETOWN
OF SAN BENITO,TX, WHICH I'M SURE YOUR VERY FAMILIAR WITH..MY DAD
AND YOU WERE VERY GOOD FRIENDS, WHO GREW UP IN THE SAME SMALL
TOWN AND HAD THE SAME FRIENDS. MY MOTHER MET YOU ALONE ONCE IN
VIRGINIA AT LACKLAND AFB. AND I MET YOU FOR THE FIRST TIME IN
SAN ANTONIO AT ROSEDELL PARK MANY YEARS AGO. I MET MY DAD'S OLD
GIRLFRIEND, WHO IS YOUR WIFE (IF YOUR STILL MARRIED) IT FELD WEIRD
BUT GOOD TO FINALLY MEET THE MAN WHO SANG MY FAVORITE SONG "WASTED
DAYS AND WASTED NIGHTS" WHICH YOU DEDICATED TO ME AND MY
BROTHER THAT NIGHT.. MY DAD'S NAME IS MARGARITO A RODRIGUEZ, I
DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE A NICK NAME FOR HIM OR NOT BUT YOU HAVE
BEEN IN MY FAMILY FOR A VERY LONG TIME. I BELIEVE YOU ALSO KNOW
MY GODFATHER JOSE GUTIERREZ KNOWN AS PEPPINO. IT WOULD BE GREAT
TO FINALLY SEE YOU BACK HOME IN SAN BENITO.....

I am amazed to find FF has been active in music all these years.
I loved his music as a child then, sadly, I became a teen and
it was strictly metal for too long. Does FF ever get to Florida?
Looked at the tour schedule, was it complete? Would love to hear
"Wasted Days and Wasted Nights" live in concert. Hope
FF continues to thrive. It was great to find out he'd been here
all along!

hi-glad to see that this book is back in business--just wanted
to say---great, fun show at mohegan sun in connecticut! we really
liked cowboy cumbia, and the r&b stuff. a funny story to relate--while
you were doing the old favorites-wasted days and wasted nights,
all of a sudden i heard my husband on the cell phone. he was calling
his family in new york city. they all remembered that and before
the next teardrop falls from when they came out as hits in the
dominican republic. they could actually make out the song thru
the cell phone, too! hope that you can come back to the northeast
soon--all the best

Mr. Fender,
I dont know if you will see this, but here it is:
My grandparents 50th wedding anniversary is coming. My grandmother
is the biggest Freddy Fender fan.
I was wondering if there was any way to have Mr. Fender sign a
card for them or something. It would mean the world to my grandmother.
And I am not lying when I say she would probably break down in
tears if she was to receive something from Mr. Fender.

Freddy, you're one of my heroes! My late mother was crazy about
you. I was based in Reno, Nv, for quite a few years, working the
Nevada circuit with my former band, The Beau Brummels (they had
top-ten hit songs in the 60's - "Laugh Laugh" and "Just
A Little", in case anyone remembers - I spent nearly 20 years
gigging with them). I brought my mother down to visit just a month
before she died, and she got to see you sing "Teardrop"
live - a magic moment for both of us. I saw you twice at The Nugget
Showroom, once at a Sparks outdoor show, and the most memorable
one of all was when I drove down to see The Tornadoes at The San
Joaquin County Fair in Stockton, Ca. People were going wild in
the aisles - the guards couldn't make 'em sit down - it was a
helluva spectacle! One of the most memorable concerts I've ever
been to. You were killin' them!!
I see you're playing in Laughlin next month. Wonder if you've
ever been there before. The Beau Brummels did a couple of weeks
at The Ramada there in '94. Bullhead City right across the river
- it was hotter than hell's pancakes! Went down and saw the reconstructed
London Bridge (Lake Havasau?), which isn't too far down the road.
Have fun! Of course, you grew up in that kind of heat, and I came
out of San Francisco.
I'm singing in The Philippines these days to a bunch of ex-pats
who, of course, love your music. I learned a long time ago how
to sing "Teardrop", singing the Spanish phonetically.
What I would really like to do is learn The Spanish lyrics to
"Secret Love" and "The Wild Side Of Life"
(I'm too proud to fake it. I'll only do it if I'm sure what the
words are - I'll do it right, or I won't do it at all!).
If I ever get back to The States, I'll look forward to seeing
you in concert once again. Keep playin' it like it is, brother!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Freddy,
I hope you had time to read the note from my Grandmother, Nora.
I am sure she will enjoy the picture you autographed for her.
My grandmother has been a big fan of yours since I was a little
kid. When we visit her she always has music going and you are
one of her top choices. She is still telling people about the
time you called her. This is one of her fondest memories. Thank
you for helping her celebrate her 90th birthday.

Freddy,
I have been a fan of yours for many years. I am now a Hispanic
country artist here in Austin, TX. Although I am not "known"
yet, I soon will be(I just had my most recent demo played on KVET
radio morning show "Sam and Bob", here in Austin).
I am trying to find a really good "Freddy Fender" song
that has not yet been recorded. I and wonder if there were any
songs you had that a female artist could record. I already have
an upbeat (Friday night Blues remake) and a slow ("Empty
Arms") song produced, but I need once last, fast country
song. I would love to have a Tex-Mex type song and thought, what
could it hurt to send a quick e-mail. Please let me know if you
have something you would be willing to send. I hope someday to
be the female "Freddy Fender" as there are currently
no Female Hispanic Country Artists. Thank you so much.

Hi Freddy, I had the distinct pleasure to be your personal
bodyguard at the Golden Eagle Casino a couple of years ago, and
thought I would take the time to thank you and Augie Meyers for
your autographs, and for taking the time to talk to myself and
my Security Chief like we were somebody, and not like nobody's.
I will always cherish that fact, and will tell all how nice a
guy you really are.
Your autograph is in a frame in my living room for all to see,
and when I tell them of your kindness and love of your music and
of your fans, they're amazed. Your fire and style are without
bounds, race, creed,or type of music.
thank you Freddie

I grew up listening to your music. I was in a bar last night
with a younger crowd than myself and one of your songs played
and everyone knew it. I was amazed to see kids of 21 with
green hair singing Before The Next Teardrop Falls. This is
the sign of true talent and a generation that recognizes it.
You have reached beyond the listeners of country and pop
and reached a new generation of fans. That's what real talent
does. I realize you have had recent success also but, the
classics is what we are all tipping a cold one to and
singing every song note for note. You have an amazing
voice and I wish I could come close but I am a lowly
drummer and all I can do is admire your talent. I hope
you come to my area soon! Keep blessing us with your gift.

me this is music, music that is still here...", so i played
it and BAM, out of nowhere i was into it, i like those songs,
i never knew who sang them, until yesterday. My favorites are:side
1: 1,2,4,5 , side 2:1,3,5,6, i enjoy the rest also. By the way

Hi Freddy, long time no see, you might
not remember me anyway, I played some with you in San Antonio,
also I was the steel player in the band in Germany in the late
70's. I really enjoyed playing with you, when it was my time for
a ride in the song you always turned and said to me,'' TELL IT
LIKE IT IS, LITTLE BROTHER",things like that makes a musician
feel important or needed which lots of singers or stars never
accknowledges the musicians, Ill never forget you for that, Freddy.
I think your webb is great, just like your singing, Keep it up,
and if ever you need a steel player, you have my email, Best of
luck to you, Kenny

Have to tell you, that your show down at Pechanga, in Temecula
was really alot of fun, not only for myself, but grown daughter
and my husband, we each danced and sang along with your group,
Hey Baby Capaso, and Guacamole, those front row seats are the
best, can't miss a move, that each of you are into, and we just
can't get enough. When will you be at the Belly up in Encinitas,
Calif.? Love seeing your shows!

Great show in Temecula despite their sound system. Brought
good memories from my Valley and home, Mercedes, Texas. Do
recall having to go to el theatro Rio to see amateur talent
night with my Dad and seeing a young Balde Huerta. Later I
married a hometown man that used to go around with Raul Garza
who was trying every amateur talent night in the valley and
used to recall seeing a young Freddy also.
May God give you lots of good health and happiness.

Tio Balde,
As you know we grew up listening to your music. My dad, Vico and
my mom, would always play it and tell us all about you. When I
was younger I didn't really understand the impact that you made
on people and the positive role model that you play for chicanos
everywhere. Now that I'm older I can more easily recognize the
"orgullo" in my dad's voice when he told us about you.
I took both mom and dad to see you and Mague in San Benito. What
a show. Te aventaste! Either way, I just want you to know that
I'm so proud of all of your accomplishments. Y siguele!
Sinceramente,
Viviana

Dear Mr. Fender,
How are you doing this evening? It broke my heart to hear the
news about Mr. Sahm, my condolences and many prayers to his family
and the TEXAS TORNADOS. This 18 will be a year since your song
made my girl cry. We were coming from night at the ballet, we
saw the nutcraker. I had the whole evening planned out. She looked
so beautiful with her long black evening dress, and my self all
slicked. I even rented a limo to take us to the theatre and take
us home. Our relationship had been on the rocks for almost a month.
We had been together for 2 years and I wanted to tell her how
I've always felt about her. But like I said we were on the edge.
I felt that she was losing faith in me and had ask If she would
be happy with someone else? She just got upset that I had asked
her that. So of course that night was on the rocks as well. I
wanted to tell her what my heart was feeling but couldnt finds
the words. Until, a particular song came to my head. A song I
came to love and known by heart. So, as we walked silently back
to the limo, I stopped and began singing her "Teardrop".
I don't know why, I just did. She stood there stunded and after
I was done, she started crying. I loved her the day I first saw
her and had opened the door for her, because I had accidently
hit with the door at her moms work. (whole other story) As she
stood there with the tears in her eyes, I looked at her and told
her "Mel, you mean every thing to me, I consider my self
lucky, Not everyone gets to see their gaurdian ANGEL. You are
the closet to heaven I ever be, I love you Melody, before and
always." For some reason that song will always be a reminder
of my love that I still have within my heart for her. I miss her
so bad, it hurts. She chahged my world, the day she looked into
my eyes.
God bless you Freddy, and to Doug, and the TEXAS TORNADOS:Music
for the heart and soul.
Thank you, Mr.Fender

For Immediate Release
Grammy Award winners The Texas Tornados scheduled to close Latin
Style Music
Awards
Nashville, TN (October 6, 1999)"Hailed by the press as "the
greatest Tex-Mex
band in all the world," the Texas Tornados will perform "South
of the Border"
as the grand finale, for the Latin Style Music Awards in Los Angeles,
California.
The show is being taped from the Shrine Auditorium for syndicated
telecast in
mid-November.
The Texas Tornados, Grammy Award winners, began one late winter
evening in San
Francisco at a concert performance put on by a mutual friend.
Billed as the
"Tex-Mex Revue," Freddy Fender, Flaco Jimenez, Augie
Meyers, and Doug Sahm were
invited separately to perform. What transpired was so intense,
that the four
already-legendary musicians felt compelled to repeat the experience.
Each of
them a multi-instrumentalist in his own right, and aided by a
crack four piece
rhythm section; began making records and started touring as "The
Texas Tornados".
Now after nine years and five studio albums, they have released
their long awaited
live recording on the Barbwire/Virgin Records label. Entitled
"Live From The
Limo, Vol. I", it epitomizes the very essence of the band
and captures the magic
first created long ago in the city by the bay.

Freddy, The last time my friend and I saw you perform live
was at the Texas Bicentennial in Austin, Tx. Since that time
we have continued to listen to your music. We still think
you are one of the greatest singers that ever came to Nashvile,Tn
I acquired my nickname because my husband is a Baptist Minister,
but I still like
to listen to your music.My friend and I have moved miles apart
but we plan to get together
again for old time sake and see one of your concerts again real
soon.
Hope we will not have problems getting tickets.
Never thought for one minute there are wasted days and wasted
nights.
See you soon,

TX when y'all recorded "Live from the Limo". We loved
the show so much Friday, that we went back for more on Saturday
night. We were fortunate to get a chance to meet you and the whole
Texas Tornados family. When I heard the radio anouncer say this
from the new Texas Tornados recorded live at Antone's I blasted
the radio to "one" of my favorites Hey baby que paso?
I called my husband immediately and told him that we were on the
radio. He said what do you mean?? I said rememeber they recorded
us singing along on the song. That weekend we were at Antone's
record store. Everytime I listen to the CD it is like revisiting
those two wonderful nights. When is vol 2 comming???? We want
to hear the rest of those wonderful songs y'all recorded those
two nights. from your friends and live long fans from Corpus.
PS. I love your music.

Dear Freddy,
I am 19 years old and attend the University of Houston. My dad
introduced your music to me when I was about 13, and I am glad
he did because I love your music. You have an awesome voice and
you represent Texas very well. On my way home everyday I listen
to you greatest hits "Wasted Days and Wasted Nights"
is the best. Maybe soon you will be performing in Houston, and
if you do that would be awesome. I wouldnt miss the chance to
see you live. Take care and God Bless

Mr. Fender,
I have grown up listening and dancing to your music. Your music
was one of the few songs my parents liked us to listen to on our
own. Iremember at Christmas by my Godmothers house we would have
the 8-track player cranked up and all the woman and girls were
in the kitchen making tamales and when that was done we would
go into thr front room and dance.
Now that I'm a mom my children and I listen to your old music
and your new recordings with the Texas Tornados. My oldest daughters
favorite song is "Hey baby que paso."
My husband look me to see you and the Tornados at Navy Pier in
Chicago. We went and had a very good time.That was me husband
first time seeing you in concert, but I had seen you once before
and I had the time-of-my-life.
Thank you for the wonderful memories and all the new ones to come
with my children.

Hi Freddy!Our best friend on the planet,
Jose Martinez, or as we call him, JOE, is in Colorado Springs

TX too! He could pass for your twin! :) He handed you a song on
stage back in 1994 when you & The Texas Tornadoes played in Pueblo,
CO We are all huge fans of yours. Is there any way you could send
us all 8X10s of you? It sure would make our day! His birthday
is coming up, and he'd NEVER be expecting something like this!
My birthday was Sept. 4th :) We look forward to seeing you at
Billy Bobs!

Latino population at an all time high here in Atlanta, your fan
base is growing rapidly day by day. Please consider scheduling
a date here in Atlanta, in the near future. There are several
venues to consider with such a big city.
Thank you.

Mr. Fender,
Years ago, while you were in Louisiana, you recorded a song
called "Three Wishes" with my Father, Mike Hailey, playing
the drums. I was wondering if there were any copies of this
single available anywhere. My daughter want's to know more
about her Grandfather and I thought that hearing this song
would give her a connection to him. She very much enjoys it
when I play your albums and dances around the house to all
of your songs. If you know where I can find this song please
write back. It would be very apreciated if you did.
Thank You Very Much,
Michael Hailey

I must have been born Tex-Mex in another life. Got turned
on to your kinda music via the Texas Tornados and Flaco's CD's.
The new Tornados live album cooks, and I enjoy your singing
the most. Next time you're in the SF Bay Area, stop in at
Down Home Music in El Cerrito (near Berkeley)--everyone there
is a huge fan of yours and everything Tex Mex. My wife Jane
joins me in wishing you and your family all the best. My kids
are always jokin that Dad never listens to anything but
Texican accordion music in the car--hey gotta raise em right.

Hi Mr Fender, Goodday from the northern territory in australia,
where the weathers dry for 6 months of the year and wet for the
other 6mths. Been a top fan of yours since ever i can remember
, you were suppose to come out to aussie 1995,but shows were cancelled,
when do you think you will be down under this way. You have a
big mob of followers over here. Especially with the aboriginals,
they like country and blues and they sure know how to put on a
barbie and party till you drop. I'm originally from NSW which
is on the East coast of Australia, when you were booked to play
it was at Shellharbour workers club and Sawtell RSL club, either
way I was making sure I was'nt going to miss out on seeing you,
I was going to fly down from nt for a once in a lifetime to meet
my idol, but then everything was cancelled and we never heard
anything more. So will you ever make a trip downunder to aus,
make sure you don't leave Northern territory out, this is where
the traditional aboriginals(native australians) live. thanks for
taking the time to read this, and see you when I'm looking at
you oneday. thanks heaps fay

Hi,Freddy I just wanted to leave a note to let you know that
I've always really liked your music and I like your website. I
met you and saw you around alot where I used to work,(HI/LO Auto

there as a delivery driver from Mar. 1992 to Mar. 1993.)I'm sorry
I never really got time to stop and say hi or anything, but I
was usually doing my yo-yo impersonation on the days when you
came in. (haha) I
guess someone had to make all those deliverys Liz and Carla just
seemed to get slower when it would get really busy!??
Maybe it was just my imagination??
