Back in the Day my mom sang with Freddy before he was famous and sang in beer joints. His real name was Baldemar Garza Huerta. He was a friend of the family back before my parents were married. He was cousins to my mom's 2nd cousin but no blood relationship to us. I never got a chance to meet him before he died. Whenever he'd see his cousin he'd ask about my mom.
