A proud moment for me. Here I am with my inspiration, Eric Bibb, in B.C. Canada with fellow song writing friends at a remote outpost on Gabriolla Island. Everyone should have an artist or two who motivates them by way of their work so we can “dig a little deeper from the well” as Eric says in his eponymous album. In my estimation, Eric Bibb shares company with some this world’s best song writers, guitarists, and singers of the last 100 years. His words reach and his creative reservoir has no bounds as his albums speak volumes for his depth of talent and abilities. If you want to hear a masterpiece, listen to “Diamond Days”, but truth be told, every Eric Bibb every album is a win win.
