They called FREDDIE EVERETT "The Texas Legend" and sometimes "The Texas Hendrix." The videos compiled here explain that pretty well. They tell the story of his rise to near stardom. Freddie started loosing his strength, but continued to play, until he no longer could. He'd just signed a deal with SONY, when he finally lost his ability to play. He never got the chance to record with SONY and the contract was dropped. He had ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease (NMD in the UK), and by 2008 had became dependent on a ventilator and feeding tube. From then on, he was only able to communicate with an eye-tracking computer. Jason Becker had befriended him and they were planning on working on a project together. Music was Freddie's reason to live. Sadly, his battle with ALS ended on 04/02/09. RIP, Freddie. Truly, The Texas Legend.
