  Eric Thompson
Eric Thompson took up the guitar as a teenager in Palo Alto, California in the early 1960's, at a time when very few folk guitarists were playing more than basic rhythm guitar.
Eric's first solo LP, "Bluegrass Guitar", featured an all-star band including David Grisman and Tony Rice, and was released in 1979 on Kicking Mule; it was recently reissued, with additional duet tracks with David Grisman, as "Thompson's Real".
Eric is a knowledgeable and patient teacher, who has been a staff member at Puget Sound Guitar Workshop, Bluff Country Gathering, Augusta Heritage Old-Time and Cajun-Creole Weeks, Port Townsend Festival of American Fiddle Tunes, Ashokan Fiddle & Dance Camp, and Lark In the Morning.

 SCT '61 - Eric Thompson Memorial Collection
Although Eric was brought up in Holbrook, just outside Ipswich in Eastern Counties territory, as a child he was always impressed with the green Eastern National buses that used to run from Clacton to Ipswich on the 123 and this led to a lifelong interest in Eastern National.
One thing that Eric was keen on was that his lifetime's photography didn't go to waste and that other people would get enjoyment from it.
Eric left his collection to his good friend Adam Kelleher who he first met at an ENEG meeting in 1975 and Adam, who has been a fan of the sct61 website since it started in 1999, thought that this would be a good medium for Eric's photos to be seen by a wider audience.

We discovered we both like some of the same bands, but that Eric’s taste was focused strongly on punk, while I listened to a wider variety of genres, some of which he had extreme distaste for.
Eric seems to get some kind of sadistic satisfaction out of identifying bands I could never imagine anybody hating, declaring their level of awfulness and then watching me smash my head repeatedly into the door.
About two weeks ago, Eric chose one song by T.A.T.U., the Russian pop duo, and set up his computer to repeat it infinitely, which it proceeded to do from 11 p.m.
