Frederick Barthelme is an American writer. He co-founded the Red Crayola with Mayo Thompson and served as the group's original drummer. He performed with the Red Crayola from summer 1966 to summer 1967. Barthelme moved to New York in 1967 to pursue writing and conceptual art, but came to split his time between there and Houston. After the Red Crayola disbanded in 1968, he continued to collaborate with Mayo Thompson on writing and music projects until Thompson moved to the United Kingdom in 1973.
