Date Posted: 17:02:52 04/20/03 Sun I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to respond to Eric's message, but I've been thrown into the Stone Age with the absence of the Internet at my current residence... First off, Eric, thank you for being a part of this thing for the last couple years. You're one of the finest players I have had the privilege of jammin' with, and one of the nicest people I know as well. This decision was nothing personal. The reason it was done in the fashion in which is was, was because Ellis wanted to tell you the next time he talked to you, for he would have felt guilty otherwise. Not giving the other guys to say their peace. As far as Jack and Jim's failure to contact you, I don't have an explanation for. I'm sorry. Now, the issues in which warranted this decision have been brought up by myself, directly to you on a fairly consistent basis for the last year. I still don't know if it was the right decision but, I know I tried my hardest to motivate you, to take yourself to another level. How many times can a person do that, and also realize that perception is reality. If you walk into a room 9 out of 10 times and show you would rather be somewhere else or doing something else, then what is the logical conclusion. In our conversations you basically verified these conclusions, specifically,. Eric, I'm sorry things worked the way they did, I know you'll out playin' again soon, and when you are, throw every bit of your heart and soul into it, if you don't then it's not worth doing.... Your friend, Matt P.S. Give me a call if you want to talk about this more, maybe over a beer and a couple amps. Cool? Replies:

Date Posted: 07:38:49 04/16/03 Wed Its taken me some time to get my thoughts together and I'm not sure I'm quite there yet, but I think I have an obligation to explain my sudden absence, particularly since no one else has felt the need to do so. For those who don't know, I am no longer a member of Speargrass. I played lead guitar for this band for two years. It was a thrilling experience which I will never regret or forget. I had the opportunity to play some of the best original music I have ever played (or heard) for some of the nicest people that I have ever met. I consider these guys to be some of the most creative, inventive, and energetic musicians I had ever had the good fortune to make music with. I also considered them to be my friends. At the risk of airing dirty laundry, I was kicked out of this band without any warning or provocation. The only one who talked to me was Ellis. Matt began a conversation and never bothered to finish it. Jim and Jack have never spoken to me or acknowledged anything about this. After two years of ups and downs it is extremely offensive and hurtful to have it end up this way. My first instinct was to, like my friend Dave, take the high road with a few kind words and exit gracefully. Since I consider all of you my friends, I opted to tell the truth instead, as I see it anyway. I am not innocent. I am moody, critical, and can be difficult at times. I am also honest and respectful of my friends and the people I choose to make music with and I expect the same. So if you want to know why I am no longer in the band you will have to ask my friends in Speargrass because I was not given a reason. To all of you who ever offered me a kind word or enjoyed anything I played, I am eternally grateful. I love you all very much though I may not have always acted like it. I can not always help my personality so I try to say what I have to say in my playing. Anyone who wants to keep in touch or has any leads on new projects please don't hesitate to e-mail me. Thanks again for everything. Eric Replies:

Date Posted: 01:23:30 03/29/03 Sat Who's the big dumb looking guy in your picture on the main page? 3rd guy from the left. I don't recall seeing him on stage with you guys! What gives? Is he a roadie? Or some kind of groupie that scores "provisions" for you guys on the road? Or is he that crazy, psycho sound guy that's worked for every other band in the city until they grow tired of him and his big, loud mouth and fire him? Just wondering. :o) Replies:
