Frederick LaBour (born June 3, 1948 Grand Rapids, Michigan), better known by his stage name Too Slim, is a Grammy award winning American musician, best known for his work with the Western swing musical and comedy group Riders in the Sky.
Riders in the Sky
LaBour plays double bass and sings lead and background vocals. Prior to joining the Riders, he played with country singer Dickey Lee's band. With the Riders, he is billed as "a Righteous Tater" or "The Man of a Thousand Hats"). LaBour is the central core of the Rider's comedy, with bits that include impressions of Gabby Hayes, carrying on conversations with a cow's skull, rolling tumbleweeds across the stage, and peddling a necktie in the form of a cactus, that he calls a cac-tie. A long-standing gag in the Rider's concerts is LaBour mishearing a request to play the theme from the television program Bonanza on the bass, and instead playing it by slapping his face. LaBour's repertoire of character voices include the evil Swinburne Slocum; Side Meat, a feisty chuck wagon cook whose secret biscuit ingredient is cement; Freddy La, the Surfin' Cowboy; and an assortment of frontier salesmen hawking to the cattle trade.

The Asylum
by: EdguyCrying in the still of the night
A yearning for shelter
Silence kissing your wounds
Soothing your pain
Darkness - and what do they know
'Bout losing direction clutch at a straw
Cherish the hope to make it finally home...
You long to be see - through
So nobody can tell
Whenever they made you
Bleed your pride away
Now you're driven by a one track mind
Initiating you
Splendid flowers
Blossom from the wounds
The stronger the poison
The sweeter smells the bloom
Don't you try to stand your ground
Cause you're only coming home
To the heart of fire
You're home - found asylum
In a world where the broken dance
On shards of glass
I see fire - ruins and fire - and fire
In a world where the broken dance
With shattered dreams
It's burning inside you
This emotional hell
And you keep on smiling
Upon the icy tiles
A stream of fire to sweep the fears away
Seems like forever
Too long you've had to wait
Plunge in darkness
For wicked harmony
Little angel thrown away
Sure'll be back another day
To the heart of fire
You're home - found asylum
In a world where the broken dance
On shards of glass
I see fire - ruins and fire - and fire
In a world where the broken dance
With shattered dreams
Now see the cornered children
I see them off the beaten track
Embracing and crying
Freezing and dying
Concealed humiliation
Now let them dance
Liberation cruelty-free
Dance towards the gallows-tree
Bogyman was sought and found
Bogyman has found a home
In the heart of fire
He's found his asylum
In a world where the broken dance
On shards of glass
I see fire - ruins and fire - and fire
In a world where the broken dance
