I'd like to dedicate this, actually this whole show to my son.
This is his birthday.
He used to play with me and he was a great player.
He played with the Booker T and the Allman Brothers and the Eagles, everybody.
He was a wonderful guitar player.
He started with me when he was about 12, 13 years old.
It reminds me a lot of this boy here.
I say boy, there's a man here.
He passed away on New Year's Eve of 2000 with a heroin overdose in a hotel there in New Mexico.
But this is his birthday.
Happy Birthday, Eddie.
It's also Father's Day.
Happy Father's Day to all you fathers and happy Father's Day to you, Dad.
That's our [G] Heavenly Father, the big one.
