Randy Rhoads' personal effects


This document listed some of Randy Rhoads' personal belongings that were taken off of the tour bus after the accident. I know the image isn't real big and probably impossible to read, but the important part, the highlighted part is shown larger below.

1st line - 1 Brown wallet containing 1 - Visa credit card, 1 - American Express card.

2nd - 3rd line - Robinsons credit card plus one check for $1,141.88 and $300.00 cash and other identification.

4th - 5th line - Brown music case with sheet music and tape recorder and extra tape plus one portable music stand.


Most notably here, would be the sheet music and the extra tape.

Let's speculate for a second,... what do you think could be on that tape? Some music that Randy was working on? Maybe just some music he was listening to? How about the sheet music? Could it have also been something he was working on? A lesson? Or just a song he was learning? Who really knows,... but just think: what if that stuff was sitting in front of you right now?


I would imagine that because the bus at the accident scene, everything that was on the bus became part of the investigation. Therefore the Sheriff's Department probably went through and cataloged everything on the bus before they released the contents to anyone. There are most likely more pages that go to the personal items of Randy's as the page (or receipt) number is 2367,... Wanda Aycock's items were cataloged on page number 2368 - a single hand written page. Andrew Aycock's personal items were cataloged on pages 2393 - 2396. There are probably a lot more pages that go with these.
