    Honestly, this is a contender for best musical moment in the history of music by non-professionals.
    I am so grateful to all the performers there.
    Thank you.

Maybe if you can't get players to celebrate John's birthday or his memorial, you can bring some recorded backing (instrumental)tracks,play them from a cell phone patched to a small portable battery speaker(YT has a bunch of really good isolated tracks you can use), get a few of your friends gathered to join you on the vocals & who knows, it could be start of something nice that grows into something else.

    I live more than 12000 km from you
    I would love to participate in a moment like this.
    I saw and reviewed all the honors on this day 12/8 ... and I can say
    Being is the best ... but organized ... best rehearsed ... with the best musician ... etc. etc.
    I feel like I missed a huge opportunity to participate in this wonderful show,
    All musicians are excellent. ... mainly the guitarist, bachista and drummer.
    I have a good envy for you ... you were and I was not.
    I promiss ... 2021 ... December 8th ... I will be there where you gave this wonderful show.
