Eck sent me a copy of this a couple of years back. Just to see and hear him play has brought several tears to a sad man's eyes.
Thanks for posting.

That was very sweet. I didn't know Eric but that video brought tears to my eyes. Not just tears of sadness for his death but also tears of joy for his life. I wish I had known him. Thanks for posting. Don

Thanks for posting this vid, Doug.
I attended Eric’s funeral, and, through the pictures, article clippings, Band posters that were displayed, and his Mothers words, I saw a side of him that I had never known before.
I too miss this guys presence among us.

What a tremendous Human Being. Thanks for sharing this. It's funny that he is actually something like my mental image of him, as I don't really know him. This Forum is much poorer because of his silenced keypad. I will miss his wit and curmudgeonly ways. And his wisdom. Peace and blessing to all who he touched. Again, thank you.

Thank you for posting this, listening to Eric play and speak while reflecting back through time with the photo's sure puts a different spin on things which I thought were important, but clearly are not.

Very Happy Whoa! Rolling Eyes Sad

I, too, had not met Eric, in person; but would always take the time to read his posts here on the forum; I found him to be very witty, honest, and most of all, his comraderee with his fellow musicians. He called a spade, a spade but deep down, you knew he loved being a challenge to whom-ever he was speaking to. His tribute was out-standing and his love for music was superb, in my humble opinion..RIP in peace, my friend..Bernie
