Fred and Dovie were mainstays of The West Texas Steel Guitar Assn.up until his health started failing. Most of the videos on Youtube were taken by Dovie. Fred was an encourager. What I knew of him was so interesting, I always wanted to know more. My favorite story about him was the one where he handstarted Bobbie Seymours airplane and that wasn't all that many years ago. Phred, you will be missed. Hope I can make it up there to see you some day.

Sad news. Phred was a good guy.

Very sad news. Phred seemed like a good man who had a very humanitarian outlook. Above all he was an animal lover and respecter of animals, and to me that is a key ingredient in being a wonderful human being.

Until we meet again, Phred Shannon, good friend.
Be safe on your ride.

Dovie would perform the signs and dance with these words.

Taa Ahpu tomoba?atu, nansuwukaitu u nahnia.
U tekwapuha pitaruibe siku sokoba?a tomoba?atu nakwu waitusu.
Numi maaka ukiitsi tabeni numu tuhkarui.

Keta aituku numi muhneetu. Aitukutu numi taakonin/tsaakuan.
Taa Ahpu nansuwukai suana.

I just saw this....What sad news. The little time that I knew Phred was a very pleasant experience. He seemed to love everyone and in return was loved the same. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Dovie.

When my wife was suffering with cancer, Fred did a "Sweat Lodge" ceremony on her behalf, and obviously it helped as she is still with me. May the wind be at your back as you ride into the great beyond old friend.
