A moving story about a unique man

Fred Lowery's book is an endearing look at a talented man moving through a special time in American music performance. That aside, however, it is most importantly a book about a man who took the hardships and gifts he found himself with and about how he made a life for himself. In this very complicated and exhausting world, Fred tells us how any man can survive and thrive. It is about a unique man and it is about everyman.

His music collection

I have not read the book, but I am interested in his music. If you knew Fred Lowery, you must know how to get his albums. I have tried alot of places, but no luck. Please help me if you can.

Absolutely Sensational!

Fred Lowery, the late great blind whistler, paints an uncanny image of the big band era with this excellent autobiography. This book is a virtual time machine. Being a professional whistler myself, I couldn't begin to put this book down. As the New York Times put it, Fred Lowery was truly the "Greatest Whistler to Ever Pucker a Lip."
