I was a 22 year old bouncer at the commercial hotel in Elko Nevada.Freddie used to play gigs there and there were a few times I was called to remove a troublemaker or two from the lounge. He very quickly befriended me and we had some good times. He was a great guy and very talented. I was sorry to hear of his passing. God bless Freddie and his family!
