I live approximately 25 miles from where Freddie was born and raised in Gilmer TX. Several years ago, I wrote and e-mailed the chamber of commerce there and told them that they had been the home of one of the greatest bluesmen ever to record a note. Would you believe they don't even have a marker anywhere in the city? They at least need one at the city limits proclaiming that Freddie was indeed from there. But nothing. Looks like it would be good for tourism. Couldn't hurt. They have a "Yamboree" every year around October with notable personalities performing there. A blues-fest would be a great idea. Who knows what blues personalities would show up? C'mon Gilmer TX, get with it. Show some respect. Feel free to contact me at fredrick_ernest_bowersATYahooDOTcom
I DIG YOU FREDDIE, YOU TOUCH MY SOUL WHEN I PLAY YOUR MUSIC (LOOK MA, I'M CRYING)REST IN PEACE BIG MAN | |

You are the MAN! No one has influenced my playing more that you have. You had so much soul. Wish I had met you in the flesh, as it is I met your music walking like a man.
Peace to you my friend. | |

I didn't get turned on to Freddie, until way after his passing. He is one of the best to ever sling the blues. We sure could use you here today Freddie. | |

Your music captures the way I feel about certain people so well its like you wrote them so I can always picture them in my mind as I play or listen to your songs. Have You Ever Loved A Woman is timeless, every guy has gone through what your talking about in that song. My most cherrished words from you are "I Can Make You Happy, Every Note I Play, I Can Make You Smile, When I Play The Blues My Way". Someday tho Freddie, I'll meet you in the Palace Of The King. | |

Found this spot by luck. Was listening to Freddie today. Big Legged woman, Tore Down and others. His guitar moves me like very few others can do. I just noticed it's almost the anniverary of his death. If he left a thousand albums, it wouldn't be enough!! | |

Hey Freddie,
It took me 42 years to discover you, and I'm 30 years too late! You were truly the King of the blues Freddie, (and I though BB was hot!) many, many thanks for giving me so much pleasure. Huw UK | |

I'll only have a few words : thank You for your music. I never had the chance to see nor meet you, I was too young then, but your guitar playing (I'm a musician too) has been and still is maybe my greatest influence. Hope I meet you up there ! astralquestATwanadooDOTfr | |
