I'll be the first to admit I was a huge Monkees fan...he wasn't my favorite, but it's sad to see one of them leave this earth. A bit of trivia you all may not know - he actually appeared on the ed…Continue

Hi Eric,

 Just out of curiosity, I was wondering if you might have a copy of your shoestrings ep for sale? I just recently heard it, and I like it allot; I think it's a great record. If you don't have any, maybe you might be able to stear me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Frank

Hey Eric - Sorry it took me a few to get back with you.  Things are great in Columbus and it is always great to find someone so close.  Haven't been to Akron in awhile - what's new up there?
