Yeah, Boo. That was me. Thanks for the compliments, you guys.

Eric Laufer was a really good kid and an excellent musician. I did a couple gigs with him and had a great time doing them. The way he died was a totally tragic end to a much too short life.

The band you saw was the group that singer-songwriter Waylon Payne (son of Sammi Smith and Jody Payne) had for a few months earlier this year. The other musicians were Pete Mitchell on guitar, Ron Erwin on drums, and Brad Fordham on bass. I wish we could have held that group together for a bit longer, but you know how things go, right? Wink

Go here (http://www.amw.com/fugitives/case.cfm?id=71394) click on the "Media" tab and watch the video "Behind the Scenes...." and you will see some interview footage with Herb.

I watched the show last night and thought the music was very well done. Very haunting. Superb job, Herb.
