Here's to a speedy recovery from and an old
blues fan. Last saw you at the 2nd, and last Westport Blues
Festival. The bottle of Nouveau in the picture of you in your
back yard was purchased at the store I worked at. Take care of
yourself.

I am an old friend of Kay's from the upper peninsula. She taught
me guitar. I knew she had married Eric at some point, but lost track
of her. Best wishes for a comfortable recovery. Cibset

Sad to hear of your detour of life to the hospital. Wishing you a
short stay. We miss the Old Henniker Days except for Barn
Burnings. I think that was the last time we drank a bottle of
Grand Mariner in one sitting before the sun came up and we could
see and smell the charred remains of the New Barn.
I hope to hear soon you are back home
All the Best, Peter Pub

Eric....cleaning my desk, and I
happen upon a 1990 invite to a reception at the New England
College Gallery...Seems you were going to discuss the Art of
Harold Von Schmidt.......Anyway, googled you to see what you were
up to, and read about your taking ill............Its Hank here,
from the Viet Nam vets trip back in the 80s. The wonderful second
bus crew. Hopefully you still remember the "cast'.....The guys who
designed the trip, the two gals that ran out of money in Cambodia,
the NBC reporter and his camera man...the gentleman Australian
(pervert I think), you, myself and maybe one or two
others.........songs, Heineken, listening to the mess that was
happening in the bus in front of us...and a wonderful
host country......
How time has flown
by...I still have the prints you so kindly gave me of your
work......Do find your way back to health, and know that I'm
pulling for you...........you friend from the past, Hank, out in
Washington, state....

Hey. Eric. Magnificent
work, though way different from the stuff you used to do for us at
Houghton Mifflin. Are those books still in print, I wonder. And are
you still "in print" after all you've apparently been through? I
have wonderful memories of you--performing at the Club 47, singing
for the powers that be at HMCo (flipflops on the feet and all!),
drinking rum which I also loved(REAL rum, not Captain Morgan etc.),
playing nose to nose with Rev. Gary Davis. I last saw you when I
worked for Davies and Wolfe, AIA, on Brattle Street (I believe)
where you had a studio. Forty years ago or more. I hope that even if
you're not still singing you're still playing. And it's clear from
this web site you're still painting. Kit Dalton Martinez, California

I recently visited the
Little Bighorn Battlefield. While standing near the monument I found
an exhibit that showed your painting depicting Custer’s Last Stand.
It was the first time I saw your painting and I was completely in
awe of it. I’d never seen anything like it and I believe it’s the
best painting about the Little Bighorn. So, when I got home I had to
try and find more information about the artist. Lo and behold, I
found this exceptional website. I never could’ve dreamed how much of
your life you put into this painting. It was during this visit to
your website that I found the news about your stroke, but I’m
relieved to learn you are doing better. I’m thankful I can
communicate with you in this fashion. Please get well soon, Mr. Von
Schmidt. Thomas Reed

Your music and art crosses
over generations. I'm a young person who recently discovered your
music with "Living on the Trail" a fantastic cd. Wish more of your
old albums were released on cd. Please understand that there are
countless people like me that are praying for your recovery. God
Bless you Eric. All my best, Derek B.
