When I was growing up I remember my father always having a 8 track tape of one Mr. Freddy Fender, I remember going with my father and seeing him in 1975 at The Cow Palace in California and then later in life seeing him as The Texas Tornadoes in Denver Colorado at The Grizzly Roses.. He was an inspiration to me then As well as today. The music he created was a testomony to our culture and our times as Hispanics. His influance will be felt and heard in all the great Tejano and country music still to come and in the music of Today and Yesterday. I extended all our prayers and gratutude to his family and wish him a great peaceful journey from all of us here in Northern Colorado at KRFC 88.9 FM'S "TEJANO IN THE MIXX" God Bless and peace be the journey

Respectfully In The Lord and La Onda Tejana
