If I wasn't watching I'd swear that was Joe Cocker. That's an amazing family and a incredible bunch if friends. Love the GEEKS!!!

[@garymiller2536]

Excellent Blues singer. You guys did this old tune justice!!!

[@MiThreeSunz]

I’ve watched several great Band Geek videos, but this is the first one I’ve seen with Richie’s dad. Mr C surprised the hell out of me! What an incredible vocalist and guitarist! Now I know who Richie got his musical talent from! What a family!

[@shovelheadmike100]

Mr C plays a mean guitar......Killer voice too !!

[@tunesmith7437]

The Family that plays together stays together. I am a musician still at it in my early 70's....no one in my band is under 65....rock on bros...........

[@MrPedal88]

Your father is awesome.Keep passing the torch.

[@robertglancy4474]
