Generally the 1960’s were busy years for Freddie, as he played with the likes of Babe Stoval, Polka Dot Slim, Guitar Grady, Guitar Ray, Snooks Eaglin, Billy Tate, Harmonica Williams (from Jackson, Miss.) Boogie Bill Webb, Rev. Charles Jacobs (his cousin), Harmonica Slim and Eddie Lang. “I pretty much stayed lit up all the time back then,” said Freddie. I played a lot around New Orleans area with Harmonica Williams, and then after the job we’d go to Logtown or Bayou Liberty and play in juke joints. Then we’d come back to New Orleans around one or two in the morning and play the Dew Drop Inn. Where Guitar Shorty had the house band, I’d go get a pint of corn liquor. Then I’d wake up and we’d do it all over again.’
