Eric has Cerebral Palsy but before his condition got to where it is today, he was a vocalist with a band that played Max's Kansas City, CBGB's and other clubs in the NYC area. His father was a recording engineer who worked for RCA among other labels. He recorded Elvis Presley singing "Jail House Rock" and he also recorded much of the Tommy James and the Shondell's records

As Bette Midler sings "You've got to have friends", and Eric's got them.
