Yeah, _ _ um, so we're here to honor _ my _ brother's life.
_ _ Um, and we're [F] also
gonna honor my mother today, who passed [C] a year ago _ [Ab] last November.
[Eb] _ And
actually, _ we buried her _ _ [Gb] on Randy's birthday _ [G] so that they could be reunited.
[Ab] _ _ So for Randy's birthday, _ he _ got his mom back. _
_ _ And we really appreciate you coming [Gb] out today.
We do have a concert tonight
at the Canyon Club, _ so we would like to invite everybody to go to that.
_ Um, I
think you'll really like what we got planned.
_ _ And [F] we just are amazed and
gratified that after [Eb] 35 years, people would still come here March [N] 19th _ to
_ honor Randy.
It's just, it's just amazing.
_ _ _ Yeah, it's amazing.
You know,
_ there's guitar players that have passed away, and we know who they are. _
But
they don't get something like this.
_ So we really appreciate that you, that
Randy means that much to you.
We really do.
So you mean that much to us. Yeah.
And thank you for, thank you for letting us be a part.

You're welcome. _ _ _ _
_ And above all, thanks for keeping his memory alive.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. _
[Cm] He is, I don't have [Gb] any words.
I [G]
can't.
_ It's _ so touching that
you would do this.
Like a family.
You want to speak?
[N] Yeah.
Family support.
Yeah. _ _ _
Okay, _ _ then I'll speak for you.
I have a story.
_ 12 year old kid shows up.
At where?
At Missonia School of Music _ _ to study [B] guitar. _
_ [E] _ _ [C] And then he sees [E] his teacher.
He's got tennis [Eb] bracelets from here up to here.
A 19 inch [B] waist.
He's lighting
one [E] cigarette from the other.
And he has a woman's blouse on. _
[Eb] _ So he's kind of
like this. _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ Changed his entire life.
He's a very [Eb] successful musician.
He's my
engineer and producer.
He's Sebastian [Dbm] Bach's lead [Eb] player.
And he's as close
as you can be to the Rhodes family without being the Rhodes.
His name is
Brent Woods.
Right there.
[N] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ True story.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
And his mom probably said, _ _ [A] who's [C] that?
That's my teacher.
_ [G] _ Oh, yeah, I know.
I know.
I know.
I [Db] know. _ _ _
So thanks for coming, everybody.
[A] Wait, wait, they're gonna have music.
Are you guys gonna play?
Yeah.

have a special musical presentation.
My lead guitar player Johnny Blades,
who's excellent, _ is going to play with a trumpet player.
And this is a tribute
to both Randy and our mother, because she played trumpet and cornet.
