Freddy, I listened to your records as a child. Your music is timeless, as is your legacy and fans. As an amateur musician, I can tell you first hand the joyful reaction when I sing "Wasted Days" or "Before the Next Teardrop Falls". I do it in honor of you. There will only be ONE Freddy Fender. You have inspired my music, and bring joy to countless people. Though we have lost you here, Heaven has gained you. I hope to be able to shake your hand in Heaven one day. That is my wish. God Bless, Freddy Fender!
