He was a questing artist, who saw no boundaries in music.
He transcended genres and fashion, and did what was very definitely "His" thing.
God Rest His Soul.
My head and ears had always been turned towards Eric’s guitar surrounded by Ginger's drums and Jack's bass. Yesterday, I heard the three together more as one, more details of the interplay between them, and somehow the guitar sounded even better as 1/3rd of 1 rather than 1 of 3.
Thank you Jack, Ginger, and Eric for all the wonderful music.
