Thanks Roadkill. Eddie's music would have been a gift to the world had he ever been "discovered".  He only got better from this point. He was a gem.

Mike. Thanks for letting us into what must be a very precious memory for you. That is a lovely bit of music and a really nice tribute to someone who was obviously a very good player.

Thanks James! I've kept the cassette for years and a friend at the local music store bounced it onto a cd for me today. Eddie's first name was James, by the way and he could rock a wah pedal kinda like another James we know lol.

Thank you Uncle John.  Eddie would have loved the cigar box guitar movement.  He could whoop out a Bic cigarette lighter and play some wicked slide on a regular six-string.  I can only imagine what he would have done on a CBG.
