Bust of Frederick

This bust was created by Ursula Hanes, known amongst her Edna friends as Tibi. Frederick called her the Grand Duchess. Sadly now, the sculpture is weathered and worn, but it's still an incredibly beautiful work and it truly captures a piece of Frederick's soul.

Frederick Plays Guitar and Sings

In the early 80's, Frederick came to our house for a party. As everyone was gathered around the table socializing, someone starting passing a guitar around. It led to some wonderful impromptu performances. Someone's boombox was nearby, so I popped in a cassette and started recording.

Here's Frederick playing his original composition entitled "Edna Rain."


Here's Frederick playing "Black Magic" which was written in 1942 by Harold Arlen, with the lyrics by Johnny Mercer.
