Erik is a masterful performer and writer. The Gary B. White Guest Jim was asking about is a Bass Player and songwriter who was a fixture in the Village in the late sixties and early seventies. He is most famous for writing the song "Long, Long, Time" which was Linda Ronstadts first solo hit after leaving the Stone Ponies. Anyone lucky enough to have heard Gary perform this song knows that it is the ultimate song of unrequited love...... Listen to it at this link....
