Today I'm off to meet Fred Knittle,
a colorful personality in the chorus...
until a heart attack five years ago
forced him to stop.
- An old cowpoke went riding out
one dark and windy day -
- Upon the trail he res ted
as he went along his way -
- When al I at once a mighty herd
of red-eyed cows he saw -
- A-ridin' through the ragged sky -
- And up a cloudy draw -
- Yippee-yi-ay
Yippee-yi-oh -
That was the song that we sang
that started the show off.
That seemed to go over pretty well.
We did that all over Europe.
We went from continent to continent
until I became incontinent...
and then we didn't go any further.
There's something about Fred's personality
onstage that makes it all work.
You know, he's-
he's really got this- this charm...
th-th-that comes out of him
when he sings.
And so he's a- You know,
he's- he's pretty magnetic.
[ Stephen ]
Why do you need the oxygen?
I have congestive heart failure...
and it builds up fluids
in the lungs, in the legs.
Um, and so the lungs,
when it's filled with fluid...
you have to have a supplement...
and that's what the oxygen is for-
to replace the space
that I don't have anymore.
That's from years of smoking
and carousing and so forth.
- A lot of carousing, huh?
- A lot of carousing. Right.
Bob Cilman says I have
a high and a low voice.
Um, the high is for ballads
and things like that...
and then occasionally
he'll want me to do a low voice.
- Um-
- How low can you go?
Well-
- Many brave hearts are asleep in the deep -
- So beware -
- Be-e-e-e-ware -
- [ Stephen Laughing]
- A little bit. I get it down there.
Again, it all depends
[ Narrator] Fred's partner
in the new song is Bob Salvini...
whose solo of "Every Breath You Take"
where he played a nurse...
was one of the highlights
of the chorus back in the '90s.
[ Bob ]
- Every move you make -
- -- [ Continues ]
- [ Stephen ] Four years ago, at the age of7 1...
Bob developed spinal meningitis.
Within hours his condition
had worsened so rapidly...
to deliver the last rites.
[ Bob ]
- I'll be watching you -
[ Stephen ]
How close were you to dying?
Oh, very close.
I wasn't supposed to live.
The doctor told her, in so many words,
Boy, it sounded so bleak.
I had-
It was shocking to me that he made it back
from what he went through.
he was on the verge of death.
And, you know, he has never
come back to us since then.
From that point on it was hell.
I couldn't see. I couldn't hear.
