This is an unsolicited testimonial about my friend Eric Reed. I insisted on writing the words that need to be said, because he is a true friend and a true person.

We joked about how to make this website reflect his actual personality rather than have it turn out to be another glossy package of hype, like so many things out there in the marketplace. You will find photos of E toiling away "behind the scenes", and on the surface, they show how much hard work he routinely puts in to his craft. But there is a more sublime tale told by these pictures, and more to the point, by every word and deed of Eric: he toils behind those proverbial scenes with never an eye on eventually coming out front for even a minute of fame. He is behind more than the scene, he stands behind the music. There are few like him. With a healthy and necessary irreverence towards the posers who inundate the business, he perseveres on the side of art, on the side of INTEGRITY.

I am proud to know Eric. He sets the bar for me and I'm grateful...Mani Nassefat
