“Music is a force to reckon with when performed with spirit and passion. All my music has a life of its own and is intoxicating to real music lovers everywhere. But when the opening riff of ‘Fred Bear’ is unleashed, it takes everything I possess to control my emotions, memories, and love for the great man. It is truly out-of-body. Fred is with me, my mom and dad are gathered around a family campfire, and the Great Spirit shines his ever-loving light on me. In the wind, he’s still alive.”
