Song for the Asking

Sun, 27 Jun 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Big News in Central Kentucy is the Woodford County Highschool reunion for classmates who graduated 1970-1980. That's right, a decades long reunion. Jerry Davis (class of '74) has been pivotal in uploading all yearbooks to Facebook from this period (and beyond) and has been instrumental in providing a meeting place for WCHS alum to reconnect. Hats off to Jerry for his dedicated work. He's enlisted the help of a slew of alum (including Fedrick) to write a sort of theme song for this gala event. A collaberation of this sort with mutliple artist all of whom reside in different locations is daunting but all involved feel something good will come out of the request.

Unfortunately, due to work constraints, Fedrick won't be able to attend this years reunion. Steven looks forward to his next class reunion and has made a personal commitment to attend.

Fedric: the French Connection

Thu, 27 May 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Fedrick and his sister and nephews will be meeting his brother David and David's wife Angie at his Mom and Dad's in East Texas this Memorial Day weekend. Besides Fedrick's niece, who can't make it this year, the core Fedrick clan will be together. The significance of this reunion grows as both parents turn seventy nine this year. Family roots will be the unofficial theme of the gathering as Fedrick's dad has found some exciting new information in regards to Fedrick's fore fathers, namely that the first Fedrick to reach American soil was John Fedric (-no k-), who came over with the french general the Marquis de Lafayette to assist George Washington in the American Revolutionary war. The french connection is exciting for the family. More to follow after the weekend!

Yellowstone Days

Mon, 24 May 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Just this weekend Fedrick was excited to hear from an old friends from his Yellowstone Park days. Fedrick spent the summer of 1981working at Old Faithful Inn's Employee Dining Room. While he was there he met some of the coolest people on the planet including Kathy M. V. Kathy found Fedrick on FB, where else. She shared an awesome pictures of the whole gang which brought back waves of memories.

Happy Mother's Day

Fri, 07 May 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Fedrick is a huge fan of Mothers.

"I'm blessed. Like the Energizer Bunny my Ma is still going. When I recently spoke with her by phone she was laughing and cutting up about cleaning out the garage with my Pa. In the last fifteen years, Ma suffered substantial health and pain management issues but a several years ago a morphine pump and competent doctor gave her her life back. She's definately an original, (some might diagnose as a little crazy)but she's the sweetest OCD person you'd ever want to meet, mostly. My sister and I are going to celebrate Mother's day weekend with her. No expensive gifts. Maybe some store bought flowers and brownies and a lot of love.

Bear Tooth Pass Productions wishes all Mothers a beautiful day. And suggest to all Mother's sons and daughters that Fedrick, not Fred would make a wonderful cross generational gift! Just saying.

Inspiration Needed Inspiration Sought

Despite having a studio full of new state-of-the-art equipment, Fedrick's creativity is blocked. He's taking this in-between time to catch up on some reading and to explore different aspects of his spirituality.

This included catching the documentary by filmmaker David Grubin, Buddha. It was a sort of primer (Buddha for Dummies, if you will) about meditation, the history of Buddhism, and how to incorporate the Buddha’s teachings on compassion and mindfulness into daily life, perfect for Steven who knew nothing about it.

Fedrick is also reading A Toltec Wisdom Book called The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruez and Care of the Soul, A Guide for Cultivating Depth and Sacredness In Everyday Life by Thomas Moore.

People who know him haven't noticed any changes yet.

"I don't think he's a pound lighter", stated his manager Diana Lackey. "However", she noted, "Fedrick is treating his body more like a split level ranch and less like a greasy spoon/hole in the wall bar.

Stay tuned. Perhaps when his creative juices start flowing again, we'll hear the influence of his new spiritual growth.

Springtime in Texas

Mon, 29 Mar 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Fedrick's observered these past months have felt like a Woodford County Kentucky winter. Colder and snowier than the usual N. Texas season. Twelve inches of snow in above freezing temperatures is a down right joyous experience, especially extravagant for Texas.

It's made the Spring temperatures all the more welcome.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Wed, 17 Mar 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Ireland boasts a population of 6.2 million people but today it seems the whole world turns Irish. Fedrick comes from Irish blood on both sides of his family tree. His mother's maiden name was Meredith and her mother's mother was Tucker. Although you might assume as Steven did that the name 'Fedrick' was of German origin, his father's research indicates Fedrick forefathers probably came from England. His father's mother's maiden name was Burnett and Demsey further back. All this Irish blood may explain Fedricks affinity for alcohol, green or not. Happy St. Patrick's Day to Fedrick's friends and fans, Irish or not.

“I believe in the sun when it's not shining, I believe in love even when I feel it not, I believe in God even when he is silent.”

Fedrick's birthday weekend went as expected: a low key dinner with family. Afterward, Fedrick breathed a sigh of relief. This major milestone prompted him to take stock and inspired him to move ahead productively. So, it's back to the gym after work, boycotting french fries, drinking a quart of V-8, eating Activia, remembering to turn off the lights and even straightening the house.

Bear Tooth Productions is taking odds on how long his self discipline will last.
