A Tribute To The Best Friend I Almost Had
Channel: Freaking Out With Billy Hume
Date: 2023-04-11

This is my tribute to drummer Alex Abraham. I made this video from various footage and an interview I shot during recording sessions at Echo Mountain Recording Studios in Asheville, NC in January 2023 while he was recording with The Hooplas. These is also an interview my son Simon did with him at Soul Shine Studios in Charlseton, SC when I was down there for more recording with the band.

Alex was from Pittsford, Vermont and had set out on his life quest with is girlfriend Victoria to be a professional music and artist and through chance met The Hooplas and ended up recording with them, which is where I met him.

After he passed I had made some social media posts about him and what an incredible human and talent he was. Many people reach out to me who knew him and wanted to know more. I made this video so they, and the world, could see how he spent the final weeks of his life - following his dreams and passions and touching all of us with his magic.
