A great sorrow! Erik was the Diogenes of folk singers. He always sought honesty and truth.

We had a history together that goes back to the Fifties.

We kinda' grew up musically together. He was an innovator. "All My Trials" with the Bahamian beat came from him. He taught Bob Gibson a lot of tunes too. Of course he
was behind "Walk Right In" as well.

His music with the Weavers was informed by The Golden Gate Quartet which he loved
because they could really swing. Check out "Fight On" and "in That New Jerusalem".
He made the Weavers swing too in ways that Pete, Bernie or I couldn't.

I think that "True Religion" is a classic folk revival recording.
