hossy Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 In August, 1982, twelve fan club members in Japan came down at the Cleveland airport. Their purpose was to visit Eric. They accomplished the purpose on August 20.Eric welcomed the party who came from Japan from afar. Eric invited them to the Recording Connection Studio at Beachwood. And he played to them the demo tape of the five new songs.Then, he invited them to the apartment in which he lived."Come in!"In his living roomAfter spending unforgettable time, Eric and the party moved to The Beachwood Place Mall. They ate late lunch, and met Eric's Mom.In front of The Beachwood Place Mall30 years before, they spent 28 hours and went to distant Cleveland from afar only for visiting Eric.How Eric is loved in Japan, you could understand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulMaul Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Incredibly cool photos. Wish I could say I'm surprised at EC's fantastic graciousness and hospitality, but that seems to be par for the course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
