This profile is managed by Freddie's widow, Annette Everett.
"A CAN OF STEM CELLS" was recorded on 03/22/09 (Freddie passed on 04/02/09, at home) by Freddie's best friend who was visiting with his family. It was the last time he was recorded or photographed. He'd spent some time at Methodist Hospital, but seemed to be doing well. He was still hopeful and waiting for a cure. He was always a joker, too.
THE TEXAS LEGEND. They call Freddie Everett "The Texas Legend," "The Texas Hendrix," and sometimes locally, "Our Houston Legend." A true legend he is, as few have the ability to endlessly ad-lib lightning fast riffs and power cords the way he could, but it's the way he connected with his audiences that really set him apart. He'd bring his audience into the performance, calling people by name from the stage or going out into the audience to perform one of his signature moves, such as using any object available as a slide. If he met you one time, he'd remember your name and refer to you as a friend. The list of celebrities he knew is nearly endless. He performed with or opened for many, many greats, such as Sammy Hagar, Ted Nugent, Alice Cooper (where he met his wife Annette), Bo Diddley (who'd visit Freddie, whenever he was in town), Double Trouble (Stevie Ray's band), and many more. He was a world class guitar player, singer and song writer, who had just signed with SONY and was about to step out onto the world stage, starting with a tour of Europe, when ALS or Lou Gehrig's Disease (NMD in the UK) took away his ability to play. He never got the chance to record at SONY's studio. By 2008, he'd become dependent on a ventilator and feeding tube to stay alive, and was entirely wheelchair bound. Thanks to his eye-tracking computer (ERICA), he was able to communicate, use the internet, and had plans to make new music with his friend, Jason Becker (David Lee Roth's guitar player, until he became ill with ALS). Sadly, Freddie's battle with ALS ended in the early hours of 04/02/09, but his legacy will live on forever.

Don't take less than a grand. It's the guitar he wrote all his songs on. I'm sure quite a few out there would love to own it. Put up a blog. Ask for bids left in private messages with the amount of the bid in the subject line. End the bidding shortly before Christmas. Keep it, if no one offers a grand. Hell, I'd love to have that guitar, myself! Maybe, you shouldn't auction it! Hint. Hint. Lol! Could have told you all this in a call, but you mentioned it in a comment, which I couldn't resist commenting back to (to get some interest going)!
Is this pic with an acoustic and Cheyenne the right guitar? Think it's the only pic of him with an acoustic I've got.
It's the last unspoken for guitar, y'all. Make someone happy for Christmas. Maybe, yourself!!!
