All our prayers to his family and friends.

Fred's venue was the place that Roberts and Barrand recorded "Eat Bertha's Mussels/Live at Holteins" in about 1983. When I lived in Chicago for a brief but wonderful year, I was disappointed to find that Holsteins was no more but believe its spirit lived on in other venues (he came by occasionally) such as The Abbey Pub and The Gallery Cabaret ("home" to Folk Hall of Famer Dwayne Storey).

Cheers,
