Erik mentioned that one of the highlights for him with the Weavers was being able to play "San Francisco Bay Blues" with me. I share in that enthusiasm.

Erik changed the complexion of the Weavers and was a marvelous banjo player.
He was inspired by the "Golden Gate Quartet" and managed to swing all of his
spiritual material, the only time the Weavers every really could swing was with Erik.

Erik devoted a lot of time to absorbing black music.

For my money, outside of the "Bay Blues", his "Train Time" was a classic.
