Do the Freddy

Hey Gang,
I am having so much fun scrolling through You Tube and searching for long forgotten bands. How or who puts all of this on the web amazes me. I did a search for one of the groups I use to love as kid, Freddy and the Dreamers. Some of their stage antics and dance routines were way out there and almost the forerunner of some of the Punk off the wallness years later.
How they got their name was Fred Garrity the lead singer was a brush salesman in his neighborhood. He went to one house across the street and the lady asked how is the band and have you found a name yet? Freddy answered no. She replied back you guys are a bunch of dreamers and it stuck.
This was the era of sing a long tunes, stage presence, and gimmicks. The Dreamers had all of those.
I played this for Walts kids and now a whole new younger generation is DOING THE FREDDY!
Enjoy and DO the FREDDY!!!!
