Yes, I saw him in St. Louis last year. Very impressive young man. Jerry Brightman even made an awesome comment to me on how talented he thought he was. I am just glad that he is carrying on the traditions that have gone before him, if you all get to see him play you will see what I mean, but most of all sit down and talk with him and you will see and hear a young man with his head screwed on right!!!!!!!!!

Not only all of the above, but I had the pleasure of having him play bass on my set at the Midwest RockCountry Reunion last July. He's not only a first rate bass player but also plays a good lead guitar.

Eddie is the best "Young" player I've heard in years. Finally a young player who really went out and did his homework, and got some background on steel guitar. Eddie, you have a bright future ahead of you.

Eddie is one amazing player. He has played our Iowa Jam the last couple of years and will play our Jam in Wisconsin for the first time this year. I am looking forward to it. By the way Neil, you just ain't to darn shabby yourself.

I've heard he's never been kissed. At least that's what his mother says.
I always enjoy hearing Eddie play. I have the pleasure of hearing him often at Midwest Country in Sandstone MN. Everytime I hear him he gets better. It's exciting to see a player develop before your eyes. |
