Fred, "El Mariachi" was an awesome drummer, solid, dependable with talent that rose from his heart. that's how he played, like every song was his favorite.

I am a high school chum of Fred's Aunt Genie. But my family were close friends of the Velasquez Family in Las Animas. My deepest condolences to his parents, wife and children!
