Baldemar Garza Huerta, aka Freddy Fender. Freddy had a hit with Wasted Days early in his career, then a serious bump - three years in Angola Prison for possession of marijuana. After he got out he released The Next Teardrop. He charted a couple of dozen songs on the Country, Spanish and Pop charts. And he was one soulful hombre.Each time we drive down to South Padre or Brownsville we pass the San Benito water tower. And most times either Wasted Days or Teardrops gets punched into my memory replay jukebox.
If you have to have an earworm it could be much worse than Teardrops.
Thanks for the earworm? You are welcome. - Gunnar
