Description:
Fred Lowery was blind from a young age. He was from a small town in East Texas. When he was 8 his folks sent him to Austin to board at the Texas School for the Blind. They wanted him to learn how to cane chairs, but he liked to whistle. In the 30's, 40's and 50's whistling was a big deal with big bands. Fred Lowery was the guy. He has a Dallas connection because he was on the Early Bird Show in the late 30's and 40's. That show was very popular regionally and I got the book from the estate of someone who was connected to the show. The book is in fine condition. The dust jacket has a wrinkle on the back from moisture and some shelf wear and edgewear. Fred Lowery has signed on the front free end page. The signature is very childlike, but I've seen another one like it.
