Thanks so much for the AD! You totally rock.. Can you take a second and check out my songs, and post a comment on my page and let me know what you think? It would be totally sweet, and really help out. Thanks! talk soon.. Jon
~Congrats, Eric, great show-you have gotten way better since I last saw you. Please let me know if you have anymore upcoming shows in the city-welcome back to the city, buddy~
Hey Eric, I was listening to your song mistake. It brought me back to the old times. I was kinda a crazy teenager then. How you doing? I see your living in idaho now. I've never been there but if i do i'll hit you up. And if your in oregon, come say hi. Im graduating in the summer, so i have no idea where i will be after. Where ever the wind may take me...
Hey Eric! I am good. I actually moved to Davis of all places and now go to school there. Just enjoying life, hanging with friends, and going to school. How are you? You should update your photos on here.
Hey Eric! Life in Oregon is going well. If you ever come up here hit me up and i'll show you around eugene. I miss you too! I'll be back in SF in december. We'll for sure hang out then if your still living there. Hows life?
Thanks Eric for adding me. Neat mandolin. I all too well understand "Everyday"...well said. And, the major 7ths and the chord progression on "Mistakes" are great. Love the sound. The best to you...
