[Bb] So I talk about Al Gorgone, you know, my partner Al Gorgone back in the day.
Nobody knows Al Gorgone.
Well, you know, Al Gorgone is the guy that [Db] played
Al Gorgone [Bb] is the guy that played the lick on Brown Eyed Girl.
Nobody knows who he is, right?
They should [Bbm] know.
You [Bb] go to rockandrolljoe.com, you find out all about him.
He's also the guy, Al Gorgone,
is the guy that played the [Bbm] electric guitar on Sounds of Silence.
It was originally an acoustic demo.
Clive Davis called Al [Bb] up and said,
would you make this Sounds Like a [B] Bird's record?
And Al did that.
So [Bb] nobody knows about Al.
And [Ab] Al is also the guy that wrote [Bb] I Can't Let Go [Eb] With Me for the [Bb] Hollies.
It became a
we wrote [Em] it for Evie Sands.
[Ab] And it became a big [Gb] hit by the Hollies and also [Bb] Linda Ronstadt.
So nobody knows Al.
But
[B] we got our own Kendall Carson singing that [G] on Rock [Eb] and Roll Joe.
I would like to hear [Bb] a little bit of that.
It'd be great.
The smooth sound of Kim McCartney.
Listen, I was probably thinking,
half these guys are still [F] with us, maybe.
[G] Some are long [Bb] gone.
Yeah, some are long gone, some are still here.
[Gb] All right, so [Bb] here's a tribute to my friend Al Gorgone, who's still with us.
He and I wrote this back in
Actually, we wrote this more
We were trying to write something and not getting along too good.
And I didn't like [C] anything he was coming up with.
And he didn't like anything I was coming up with.
We parted [Bbm] company, got out of each other's way for about a half hour.
We both felt [C] very bad for each [Bb] other because we liked each other so much.
And we kind of met with a different spirit.
I said, you got anything, Al?
He says, yeah, but you won't like it.
He played me what he had.
[Bbm] I liked that, he liked what I did.
We put it together and in ten [Bb] minutes we had this song.
You never know.
I'm not talking.
[Bbm] Who?
[Fm] Kim.
[Bb] Oh, I try to match up, but I can't stand [Fm] it.
I [Bb] know that it's wrong and I should be so strong.
But the thought of you gone makes me want to hold on.
I feel so bad for [F] you, it hurts [Bb] me.
And I think [F] about your love that deserves me.
[Fm] I'll [Eb] get hurt until [F] you play with me.
Baby, baby, [Eb] got me hoping to meet you, baby.
[Db] I can't let go and I want you, baby.
I've got to let you [F] know, honey.
[Fm] And I can't [Bb] let go.
I'm just [F] one of your [Bb] lovers.
And I know [F] there are so many [Fm] others.
You [Bb] do something [Eb] strange to me [F] now, baby.
Baby.
[Eb] You got me going, I need you, baby.
[Db] I can't let go and I want you, baby.
[C] I've got [Fm] to let [F] you know, and I [Bb] can't let go.
I try and I try, but I can't say goodbye.
I know that it's wrong and I should be so strong.
But the thought of you gone makes me want to hold [Eb] on.
[Db]
[Bb] [F]
[Eb] You got me going, I need you, baby.
[Db] I can't let go and I want you, baby.
[Bb] I've got to let you [F] know, and [Bb] I can't let go.

You guys come down here.
I can say one thing about, well, Kendall's kind of new to the deal,
but for all the years you guys have been coming down,
you've always been real nice to me and been nice to the radio station

And every time we see you in Austin and stuff,
you guys take the [Bb] time to come down and say hi to the volunteer [Eb] DJs
at [Bb] KNON and we appreciate that.
We remember it.
We remember it.
So,
[Db] we're all in it together.
[Bb] You see, this is what Rock and Roll Joe is about.
You know, really, the truth is, the spirit of this station,
[Eb] KNON, that's what it's about.
It's the power of the underground.
It's the power of passion [Bbm] and stuff like that.
And that's what this represents.
[Bb] Everyone that comes down here does it out of the love for music.
And we appreciate [Bbm] you saying that.
