I was at this show, and at 15 of Fred’s “Pic-nics”. This was his best band! The Flying Squirrels - just about the best roots bands on the planet! Miss you, Willie! Peace
Fred deserves more views. Ontario legend. Country legend. And a genuinely decent dude. Met him and Tiff at a small show in Southwest Ontario and the whole family are gems. Unbelievable talent and showmanship.
+spencer doran His best line up in my opinion was when Willie P Bennett (mandolin), Dan Walsh (lap steel, electric guitar) Darcy Yates (upright bass), Roger Marin (pedal steel, electric guitar)
This song is so awesome. It hits me hard, I feel it. We need to be thankful for our truckers... everything we see, came here on a truck. They have it hard and it's harder every day. New laws and regulations, digital logbooks not to mention the cost of fuel.... it's hard enough. The women who choose a trucker to love ain't got it easy either but all I can ask is that they stand by their men.
nobody does it like Fred, the ultimate storyteller. I owned a liquor store in a college town. Fred , Willie P. and I would drink good tequila before the show and discuss our backgrounds in farming... the guy is so authentic it's unavoidable.
I had bought a chitliade of a Bootleg DVD from his picknic Fundraiser near Cobalt Ont. I handed all those DVD'S out thinking it was the best thing I had ever seen. All those wannabe's have since said when I ask tell me they never listened and they don't know where they are so they could give them back. Fred knows who shows up and who is audience is.
great video job seen Fred many times one hell of a singer song writer the big radio need to pull there heads out there back side and play him better that anything out there now days . Keep up the good work
