Eric, Every artist has certain song(s) in thier catalog that they wish they could go back and change. Are there any that you wish you would've done differently in hindsight? I don't mean replacing a saxophone part with a guitar line, but radically different, such as turning a rocker into a ballad and so forth... What gave me the idea for this question is, I saw McCartney's PBS special the other night and he turned "Lady Madonna" into a blues number, and I thought it sounded great!... Jeff

Eric: Are the Raspberries coming to DTE Energy Music Theatre (formerly Pine Knob Music Theatre) this Summer to perform in Clarkston, Michigan? (103 miles from my home) What about the Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort in Mount Pleasant, Michigan? (26 miles from my home) What about TV appearances including "The Late Show With David Letterman" or the "Today" show (Summer concert series)? Matt

Eric, I've always been fascinated by the bass sound on the first Raspberries album. In comparison to Dave and Scott's bass sounds, yours sounds very "round" or even "punky". I'd love to know what bass you played on that album and what led you to swap roles with Dave thereafter. Thanks Gary

Diane has written a lot of great songs, but just curious if the has ever released anything on her own? I've heard Bernie Taupin's solo stuff, and have seen Irving Berlin sing in a movie. Also heard Beth Nielsen Chapman's demos on a radio special-- actually has a lot more life to them than most of the garbage you hear on the radio. What was interesting about the Nielsen-Chapman show was that she intended "This Kiss" for Paula Abdul, originally, and not Faith Hill. It would be interesting to hear Diane Warren's take on her own stuff....

Eric: I would like to know when did you meet singer Michael Stanley for the first time? What about singer Dwight Twilley? Have you seen the Saturday morning show "The Bugaloos" (Sid & Marty Krofft) show from the early 70's?? Matt
