Eddie and his beloved Gretsch, together again...

EDWARD R. COCHRAN
1938 - 1960

A Tribute To Our Beloved Eddie Cochran

"If mere word
can console us
for the loss of
our beloved Eddie
then our love for him
was a false love."

Heavenly music filled the air
That very tragic day
Something seemed to be missing tho
So I heard the creator say:
"We need a master guitarist and singer.

I know of but one alone.
His name is Eddie Cochran.
I think I'll call him home."

"I know the folks on earth won't mind
For they will understand
That the Lord loves perfection.
Now we'll have a perfect band."

So as we go through life; now we now
That perfection is our goal
And we strive for this.
So when we are called
We'll feel free to go.
