Two days behind, but he deserved his own thread.

"Pyramid" was probably not their best, but it was my personal favorite.

Freindly Card will always be my fav. The first time I unwrapped and played it in 1980 I was floating. It was like the record was pressed with demerol not vinyl(which would be hard to do). Pyramid will always be sentimental, "Shadow of a Lonely Man" was played a lot when I was romantically compromised. Eve was torn to shreds by critics and fans, not a fine effort. I Robot had "Time after Time" which still chokes me up. I could do this all day.

Hi Bassman, we have missed you! Eric does deserve many tributes. "Turn Of The Friendly Card" will always have a place in my heart. Deb

I have had the chance to meet him personally during his promotion tour for "Poe". He was very friendly and signed a couple of CDs for me.

I always liked his music since I heard him in 1977 and will miss him.

Rest in peace, Eric!
