Replaced me as manager of a local used record store when I quit, guested on my radio show, and the only guy taking advantage of the awesome 45 deals at my vinyl yard sales.
Most frequently seen poring over the dime sleeveless 45's at IYE on Boston, Eli is a great guy, with impeccable taste as well as unquestionable talent...and loads of it.
Eli's a good friend of mine. Haven't seen him in two years, but we still hit each other up via the e-mail/phone.
In the winter of 1993-94, he was briefly attending the University of Chicago and we used to hang out, hitting used record shops, jamming on old R&B tunes in university practice rooms, going to see the Howard Tate/Betty LaVette show at the Schubert Theatre (and getting to meet them backstage!), getting full up on Harold's Fried Chicken. Played an informal show with him once at a coffeehouse/restaurant. Even tried to sneak him into a blues club but the doorman wasn't having it (he was still underage - he wouldn't be 21 for another few months). Cool people - I'm really happy to see his music career (and female situation!) working out for him...
