Song dedications...
As a musician, it was often requested for the band to announce song dedications for people in the audience. Those are the happy dedications for birthdays or anniversaries. Once I attended a concert where the singer announced a dedication to the women for 'All the kisses we snatched' and his guitarist added 'and vice versa'I've been to concerts where the band dedicated a song to former bandmates or other famous musicians who have passed on. The heavy metal band, Quiet Riot always dedicates a song on every performance to the guitarist and co-founder Randy Rhoads who was killed in a plane crash. QR singer Kevin DuBrow who died of a drug overdose and drummer Frankie Banali who died of pancreatic cancer have been added to the dedications as the band continues to tour.
The show must go on... Quiet Riot will be performing in South Florida in January 2024.
