Had no idea that Freddie Fender had passed. I was just driving in my car and asked my husband to sing "Rancho Grande" for me, and it made me think if Freddie. I just did a little web search to see if he was still singing and found this site.

So many great memories of his music - it is forever tied up with visions of my past, particularly Rancho Grande and The Next Teardrop. I am very grateful for his music and sorry to see him go. My regards and prayers to his wife and family.
