[G] _ _ [Dm] I [Ab] know they have awards here somewhere.
[N] Oh, there they are. _ _
Thanks.
We got a lot.

I'd like to thank all the people who worked so hard to get us in,
and I just wanted to say how much we regret that our friend and fellow musician Sterling Marson couldn't be with us.
Thank you. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
Thank you very much.
I'm very proud and honored, and as Lou and John, we're real sorry Sterling couldn't be here.
Thank you. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ This, of course, is shared by three other [B] people, Sterling, Nico, [Bb] and Andy. _
_ [N] _ _ _ And this event makes an astonishing point to all the young musicians in the world,
that sales are not the be-all and end-all of rock and roll, _ _ _ _ _
_ and everyone should be encouraged through inspiration and artistic freedom
is the cornerstone of rock and roll.
Thank you. _

_ _ This would have meant a lot to Sterling.
He really wanted to be in the hall, and I know he would have loved his party.
Thank you. _ _ _
