What is your hometown? Freddie was born in Revere, MA and grew up in Lynn. I was born and grew up in Lynn also, but after Freddie as he was born in 1941. At least that's what the music channels says about him.

He was at a ( I think it was a) New Years party my sister attended here in TV so I assume he’s here. Saw her selfie with him on Facebook.

He was on Sirius Radio a couple weeks ago talking about his cruises with Rocky and The Rollers and mentioned he was living on the Gulf Coast, he named the town but I can't remember it.

I'm from Revere. Freddie's father and my father were officers in the Moose Club on Broadway Revere. I met him there a few times.

I don’t remember which concert we were attending but Cannon was sitting behind us (a really bad toupee) and several of us engaged in conversation. He said he lives near here but did not say where. He could have multiple homes.

WOW haven’t heard the name Peter Nero in years. When I studied piano as a teen my teacher had me learn some piano solo transcriptions arranged by Nero. I think one of my favorites was “The Days of Wine and Roses.”

Lynn and Revere Ma I remember the many drives thru those cities to get to Hilltop Steakhouse for some of the best steak and strong drinks I ever had in a restaurant.
