Randy Perez - May 12, 2009

Jr. wants to let everyone know he just got a call from two good friends, JB and Lick, about Randy Perez. Last night, Randy passed away. .. Just a few weeks ago, Randy was able to attend a benefit for him at the Minnesota Music Cafe. We got to perform, hang out and talk to Randy. He had told us his cancer was terminal. It just went so quickly.

Randy loved music. He loved Twin Cities bands. He was a good friend.

My thanks to JB and Lick for hangin' in there with Randy, especially these last months. Man, I can't say enuff about how much that's meant. And, Randy, I'm gonna miss U man. --Jr.

Here R some links published about Randy
