This morning I've received the devastating news of the death of Eric Thacker.
Eric bought a smile to many over a great number of years. His prowess with a guitar
was legendary. His creativity with video and audio absolutely splendid.
To say that he will be missed in so many ways goes without saying. This sad news
obviously comes as a great shock to everybody and to the multitudes of close friends
who had the great pleasure of counting him as a friend. And especially the people
who got to play music with him.
I know you'll join me in sending deepest condolences to Eric's family. And in particular
his wife Chrissie who is a beautiful lady both inside and out.
R.I.P. old pal. Thanks for so many memories and laughs. And, of course, the music.
Alan Bakewell.
