fred purser


"if i can play onstage at 80, i'll die a happy man" Fred Purser told me three years ago. at 83, he's still playing; a hamilton treasure. this is fred wailing at a wedding, the second time i helped coax him out of retirement.

Fred lives with his daughter in Stoney Creek now, but I can't remember her last name and I would like to contact Fred. Can either of you help?

Fred's daughter is Penny Lee / Penny Purser, used to be on Gray's Road Stoney Creek, moved a bit east of that a while ago
