That must've been one hell of a blow for Eric, for the two of them shared much common ground.
Ya know I always wonder about things like that though. Would the helicopter have crashed HAD Eric been on instead of Stevie? Maybe Eric was destined to have his 61st birthday yesterday. You just never know. Things turn around quickly. I miss Stevie everday and thank him. I wish he was still with us on this side.
I really like Robert Cray. The older these guys get the more I like them. Eric's always been a player but his playing these days is just so much better if you can believe that! That's saying something because his playing on Beano just makes me grin from ear to ear listening to it.
