Happy Birthday Fred, 2/22/23
Happy Birthday Fred has a couple contrasting sections – an agitated minor key intro and a slow rising major key theme that bleeds back into the original minor key segment. Buried in the full version of the song you will find a clue, such as it is, as to who Fred is.
I will buy you a cup of coffee if you can correctly ID Fred.
Fred has a disputed birth date (February 22 v. March 1, depending on who you want to believe), so I guess we can celebrate his birthday for a week.
This is another song recorded on my old dinged up, patched together 1981 Taylor 555 12 string.
The images in the video are of Mill Creek in Dexter, it always looks a little different as the seasons and light changes. This video was taken on sunny mild day in February.
