A special request

Hello everyone,
So I feel weird making a request to a group that provides me with so much when I add nothing in return, but this has been a pretty crazy week for me.
A week ago last Sunday, my pregnant wife and I saw my friend Josh – he was very special to us and had officiated our wedding 3 years ago. He was over to watch Wrestlemania with a big group of friends as we do every year. He asked the wife how much longer she had to go, and she told him a month. He laughed and said “Look out! I came a month early, so you better be ready!”. The dude lit up any room he was in.
A few days later, my wife Jenny was in labor, and Josh was gone after calling it. He passed away suddenly at the age of 32. We had a beautiful healthy baby girl shortly after named Ramona. It’s been the best of weeks and the worst of weeks.
So I feel awkward bothering you talented charters with my selfish requests but I have two related to my week, no hard feelings if you’re not interested, but it would mean a lot to me.
Josh was an amazing singer, he loved to sing Walking in Memphis by Marc Cohn. Whenever I hear that song on the radio again I’m going to break down, pretty badly. I’d love to have it to sing in the game.
Baby Ramona’s song is the Beck cover of Ramona on the Scott Pilgim soundtrack it’s raised my spirits in a dark time.
If anyone is interested I would really appreciate it. It’s no big deal as time heals all wounds, but I don’t post much on social media and this board has such a positive vibe, that I thought i could kind of let it out here. Thanks for reading, Here’s a link to a Facebook group about him, he was a great dude that loved playing Rock Band in our game nights. https://www.facebook.com/christianablejoshburgess/?fref=ts
Thank you all.
Sure man, I’ve got Ramona – I’ll try and whip it up in a week or two.
Congrats on the little one – sorry for the loss.
We’re always here for ya.
Take care.

Sorry for the loss, my friend. I thing Walking In Memphis would be a great song to have and sing in tribute to your friend for those times you wanna remember him.
Dude, that’s terrible to hear. So sorry for your loss. Hopefully some of the awesome people on here can chart your songs for you!
Congrats on your daughter, and on having one positive thing to help make the negative a little less of a blow.
Hey, I’m sorry this had to happen to you but congratulations on the new child.
I’d be glad to do Walking In Memphis for you. I’ve already finished about half the vocals so hopefully if rate continues
I can have it ready in a week, maybe two.
Man, you guys are really awesome, and that you for the kind words, I appreciate it. Sorry for venting on here, it’s just been an intense week.
If it doesn’t work out or gets too difficult, please don’t worry about either… we just had a lot of great RB nights over the years so I thought I’d ask.
Thank you all again, this is such a great group of folks.
