When he was 16 he would sneak into the Chicago clubs and listen to all the great Chicago bluesmen. Eventually Howlin Wolf took Freddie under his wing. During this time Freddie also jammmed with the likes of Eddie Taylor, Robert Lockwood Jr. and Little Walter to name a few.By 1952 he had gotten married and played music at night and worked in a steel mill during the day.
