Joey Kurilec's tribute to Benjamin Orr

Joey Kurilec was the drummer for one of Ben's early bands, The Mixed Emotions. In this video, Joey pays tribute to his close friend and bandmate by reading the speech he gave at Ben's memorial at the Rock Hall in 2000, and by sharing photos from those carefree days in the 60s.

This video is being uploaded as part of #CelebratingBenjaminOrr, a social media event honoring the 20th anniversary of Ben's passing. Because the purpose is to non-commercially educate, it is being uploaded under the terms of Fair Use. No copyright infringement intended.
