Fedrick not Fred

All I can say is WOW Steven! I am blown away! I have heard you play and sing many of these songs over the years, and have always known that you are the most talented person I know… but this is beyond anything I ever… you exceeded my expectations! You are so gifted Steven, I am thrilled you kept at it all these years and have finally put out this amazing CD! Your arrangements and compositions are marvelous. I’ve lost count on how many times I've already listened to it, I can’t seem to get enough of it. In fact I’m listening to it right now, “Hold On to Love” is playing, one of my favorites. It grabs my heart and just hangs on… reminding me how it was. “Nobody Knew” is great, I love what you did with it! Then there’s “Ever in my Heart”, for reasons you and few others know, is near and dear to my heart… the first time I heard this song I was astounded, but what you’ve done with it here is… beyond any words I can find. The entire CD is jamb packed with great music… thank you Steven for sharing your beautiful talent, and for honoring me with a copy.

"Who Knew"??? I don't know where I've been? We knew you were talented but had no idea how much. I think I told you Garry used to sing with the front group for the "Oakridge Boys". He also won a Music Scholarship for playing his trombone. Our relationship began with a mutual love of music and continues. We were absolutely "blown away" with your first CD. We sat together with our speakers cranked up and thoroughly enjoyed every song. We especially liked the swing-big band sound of "Who Knew" and "Nobody Knew" and you have a fantastic horn section behind you. Every single song was a delight and we couldn't wait to hear the next song. "Without Expectations" is a classic love song. You go, Steven! The spirit of your music brings people together during times of struggle and need. Your music lifted our Spirits, filled us with hope and reminded us the power of music. Thank you so much for sharing your gift!

What a delight!! Very diverse tracks, really shows the depth of Mr. Fedrick's talent. "Hold on to Love" is a true Anthem, while "Chammoran Waltz" carries you away. No dry eyes with "Forever Heart" either. Can't wait to see what's next from this new Texas jewel!!
