Some people love music Some people believe in music You are obviously both. Jayne Allyson - Tuesday, April 15th, 2008 8:38 PM PDT A friend just forwarded an email re: your looking for Kids for a cd. Please contact me. I am also working on a cd for kids. Jayne Jane R. Snyder - Monday, April 7th, 2008 2:18 PM PDT Hey, Eric - 4/7/08 Surprise! I've moved back to Nashville so we're a little closer. Whatever happened to that song we wrote together? I'm trying to get my catalog up to date and make sure everything that exists gets copywritten and logged in with ASCAP. What thoughts? xox Jane PS: You're lookin' well. Jenn F - Wednesday, March 26th, 2008 8:45 PM PDT Hey Eric!!!! So sorry to hear that the touring is going to stop, I know how much you LOVE traveling in the beast! I am still loving your music and Caity still calls you Mr Handsome!!! HUGS! Karen Jackson - Saturday, February 16th, 2008 5:50 AM PST Hey Eric, I always stop by your site to see how you are doing. Sorry to hear you are so sick. Lots of flu here in Ky so stay well. Different businesses we were in but I traveled for 20 years in Sales before I had to hang it up in 2005. I so missed the people! I always say I am a type A person in an XYZ body. Even sick the slower pace has some getting used to. I have finally adjusted and I know with your talents and friends that you will do so also. Take Care and God Bless, KJ Rosanne Reed - Sunday, December 2nd, 2007 8:16 PM PST Eric... Just returned from Grafton and played the cd's...I enjoyed your live music. Have to admit, I had not heard your message before. I am a Gordon Lightfoot fan...I love a good story and one that I can relate to with a clear sense of an appreciation and enjoyment of the mystery of life. My senses were so overloaded with so many wonderful things to encourage me to take care of myself...I just wanted to express...music is the soundtrack that helps me through this "drama" I have been calling my life. Thank you, for being a part of this weekend. "Wake up and smile..." Rosanne Reed You really have helped me to accept that "I am I..said I"...with love and respect, Rosanne. Pat Emerson - Thursday, November 1st, 2007 11:20 AM PDT I'm so glad I was able to hear you in Green Valley, Az. I hope you are not busy and can play at my Dad's celebration of Life on Nov 17, 2007. My Dad passed away in August and I was not able to go to the service. He was 90 years old. This is my gift ...to my Dad and a thank you to his friends that helped in the 30 plus years that he lived in Green Valley. This celebration is not only for Dad,& his friends, but it is for me as well. You see we had been estranged for years, and these last two years I found my Dad and he found me. The song about the lamp, reminds me of Dad. I am writing a story about the lamp. You gave me the idea.Never give up, you said and I haven't. Respectfully, Pat Emerson Erika Englert - Thursday, September 20th, 2007 5:59 PM PDT I purchased your song "Circle of Smiles" from itunes. My grade one class sings it at the end of each day as our good bye song. We stand in a circle, hold hands, sing and at the end sit down and go around the circle saying our good byes. Thank you for the beautiful song. If you are ever near Edmonton, Alberta please email. We'd love to come and see you. Karen Hazard - Sunday, September 2nd, 2007 2:37 PM PDT Just visited your website for the first time. Just diagnosed alpha-1, and thank you for sharing your story. t dominy - Tuesday, August 28th, 2007 3:53 PM PDT Thank you again for the long trek to the Carson Valley--we are so blessed each time you come. I promise no more "Eric 'toons." With the Cabaret Night in CCity, WINO Dinner, public relations duties and Sunday mornin' music behind me, I remember to write my thanks to you for sharing the gifts of your songs/music/voice with us. Loved your haircut, too. Glad you took time for some hot springs therapy while you were here. Sent your "My Medicine" CD to TX folks--musicians and healers--to be played/shared with others. Hope your Reno gig went well. Look forward to your next trip and the new pearls bestowed upon you to share with us. Peace/Blessings, td Doreen Rickard-Morrow - Tuesday, August 14th, 2007 3:48 PM PDT Well there you go again....coming out with another CD just when I needed the message again. When life once again began falling down around me and I find myself alone, CD Baby contacts me and tells me that you have a new CD out. Up until yesterday, I did not have an address, so I had it sent to my school. It came yesterday and once again is an inspiration to help pull me through. I do know that 'change is hard'and as I go through more change I will hold the 'hand of God' and 'wake up' everyday thankful to be alive. It is always 'good to see the ocean' and I try to get there for the cleansing that it brings. Where I am living now is on a ranch in the middle of nowhere and though it is a 'long way home', I am thankful for the roof over my head and the beauty that surrounds me. Once again your music has touched my life when I need it the most. 'Thank You' for allowing your gift of music to be 'my gift'. Thank you for allowing me to accept the inspiration and hope your music gives as 'my medicine' to see me through. Eric, you have always made your way into my life through your music and I am truly grateful. I hope to catch up to you soon to hear you live again....it has been a while! Too long.... You are truly an inspiration and I am honored to call you friend! Take care and know that you are thought of often. You are in my thoughts and prayers always, my friend. Love, Doreen tai - Wednesday, July 25th, 2007 10:24 AM PDT Hey Eric, My mom told me you had wrote about the wedding in your journal, I just read it today. That night will be in my memories for ever as a great great night and very busy. reading your journal of that night was perfect. To see that night thru the eyes of someone else and all the wonderful things I didnt get to do because i was too busy. Having you there was very important to me and spring. Thank you for everything Eric love tai Evelyn Marie M. - Thursday, July 12th, 2007 7:08 PM PDT I truly enjoyed perusing your website-simply delightful. You are blessed indeed with a special gift. Be Well-Peace unto you Robert Watson - Sunday, July 8th, 2007 10:19 AM PDT THANK YOU for the wonderful time we had with you at the annual Idaho Alpha picnic. My kids loved singing with you and listening to thier favorite songs. They were so excited knowing you were coming, and they have talked of little else since your performance. You are a true gift to the Alpha community. Thank you for giving my children some great memories. P.S. - Aria said if I was a "good dad" I MIGHT get to listen to the CD you gave her. I guess I'll have to work on that. Toni - Monday, June 25th, 2007 7:16 AM PDT Just having been introduced to your amazing music, I have to say that I'm very impressed! Our mutual friendmd, Debbie Gueck has been trying to introduce me to you these past couple of days, and fate just hasn't allowed it. Have an awesome trip back from Denver, and I hope to meet you sometime in the near future! Godspeed, Toni :) Joy Lynn Hertz - Tuesday, June 19th, 2007 3:46 PM PDT I enjoyed meeting you at Albuquerque Center for Spiritual Living. And by the way had I known you had a medical condition I would never have "imposed" a hug on you, I would have just sent it to you via a mental blessing. I have enjoyed perusing your website and am in awe of your work and dedication. Thanks for taking the time to perform for us. Joylynn Hertz Jennifer Smith - Sunday, June 17th, 2007 6:56 PM PDT Eric, Glad to see you're still going strong. I hope that the next time you're at the Fidd, I won't have to work. I printed up your "Singer's Toolbox" as I haven't found another voice coach...but I'm still singing! Jennifer (your former student from Phoenix) Gael - Monday, June 11th, 2007 5:22 AM PDT Beautiful, beautiful man. Thank you so much for the gift of song and fellowship you shared with us at Albuquerque Center for Spiritual Living yesterday. Your presence brought an energy that is welcoming and warm to our community. Be well and forever strong. Cindy - Sunday, June 3rd, 2007 9:31 PM PDT Eric, so thrilled to see you are headed back to Fort Collins. I missed you last year and I didn't think you would be treckin back our way again. Keep your head up and keep singing our favorite music. See ya soon, Cindy Carey Creed - Friday, June 1st, 2007 2:26 PM PDT What a privilege to hear a little of your new CD during mastering.

Seth Avant - Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007 12:11 PM PDT Hi Eric, Looking forward to seeing and hearing you again at Kerrville. Love and hugs, Seth Angela Patterson - Monday, May 14th, 2007 11:39 AM PDT Met you at the retreat in WI. My son was the one with the big red shoes! He goes around the house singing "I am I". I'm also going to play it tomorrow at by daughter, Sophie's, IEP (special ed meeting). The precious gift of your lovely voice and special songs makes me almost grateful to be an alpha and to have met you. Let me know if you are in Northern California - I can get you a 'gig' in the beautiful Santa Cruz Mountains where the air is clear and the hummingbirds hum. Thank you for being exactly who you are. Angela Carole "from the park" - Friday, May 11th, 2007 6:02 PM PDT Dear Eric, It seems like forever ago since we jammed onstage to Rub a Dub at Jack the Ripper, and took over that Italian cafe on 7th with all the musicians from Washington Square. I am delighted that you are still making your wonderful music. Lucky remains one of my all time favorite CD's. Elizabeth Gadus - Thursday, May 3rd, 2007 9:08 PM PDT hi eric, Tis I Elizabeth in Clevleand Ohio- Alpha1 El Suprimo. I hope you are well. Glad to see your music is still moving along... as is my art.

Sarah Clark - Monday, April 9th, 2007 4:23 PM PDT Hi Eric, I am thinking it must be getting time to head towards Ft Collins again. Heard you on the radio the other day and wondered when you'd be this way again. AND when you were here last, I gave you a tape of some of my songs and you PROMISED you would get back to me about it...... Take care, Sarah Dawn Harward - Thursday, April 5th, 2007 12:13 AM PDT Hi Eric...JoAnn Harward suggested that I get on your mailing list....so here I am....JoAnne is my aunt by marriage. Larry Lyon - Monday, March 26th, 2007 8:39 AM PDT Hey Eric, Jean & I enjoyed your extended visit here in Davis, OK to perform at our AmericanaUnplugged.com music series. Thanks for plaing at the retirement center & the Veteran's hospital. I'm sure you made their day quite a bit brighter. Everytime I go with one of our musicians to play there helps me realize just how fortunate I am and how my personal struggles pale in comparision. It was so cool a guy also with limited lung function and his wife drove over 2 hours from Ft. Worth to hear you play at our series. What a blessing to have the ability to move and ofer encouragement to so many with your music. Peace thru Music, Larry & Jean Lyon AmericanaUnplugged.com Davis, OK Désirée D. - Thursday, March 8th, 2007 1:51 PM PST Wonderful update, indeed, Mr. H.H. Thank you for that. It is a gift to get beyond our individual and societal idea of perfection. A gift to ourselves and those around us. It seems you are truly experiencing the moment in this learning and growing process. Your message will be heard, will delight many, and will reach us at our core. We all share breath. We are with you. Keep enjoying and keep sharing. Peaceful regards, One, Big, Bad, Fan!! :) Désirée Doolittle - Wednesday, March 7th, 2007 1:31 PM PST Dear Mister Handsome Hansen, can I please ask for an update on your recent studio experience? No pushing nor shoving for results other than the occasional drooling thought about a forthcoming CD to add to the treasured collection. There is a time and a place for everything. Something old, something new. A borrowed blue song, a sunny tune or two. ~Bestest regards. One Steady-As-She-Goes Fan Eric Hansen - Saturday, March 3rd, 2007 2:29 AM PST dude. we have the same name. ha. cool LARRY & MARCIA HIETALA - Saturday, February 17th, 2007 1:37 PM PST Got a ride with a friend yesterday, and he said I had to listen to this cd that he was given to him. Amazing, it was "Real Slow", still one of my all-time, by anybody favorites. Had to listen to it when I got home!! Wondering when and where we can see you in Tucson this spring before retiring in McCall, Idaho this summer. Would be great to see and hear you before we depart the SW. Larry Mattie - Thursday, January 18th, 2007 1:19 PM PST Thank you for replying to my email. As well as being Dudley's personal assistant I am a retired nurse.

BTW, noticed you were just in Montana. Please call us anytime you're driving there again and we'll try to work you into the music at Unity or a house concert, unless we're too far west for you. Whenever you sing here, "the healing begins with music" for someone. peace/blessings, td Rick Hansen - Sunday, July 2nd, 2006 5:15 PM PDT Hi Eric, Just wandering through, staying in touch via your website and blog.

Everyone says hello, and sends their love and best wishes. Your cuz, Rick Jami Martin - Wednesday, June 7th, 2006 8:58 AM PDT Ditto on Rita's comment below. My life too has changed forever in how and what I think about when I put on my seatbelt! God, was I smiling a lot yesterday on my travels all about! It is now a joy to put on my seatbelt! And, on a more serious note, you are priceless. Your gift and talents are inspiring, and with you on this planet, there is so much more love and joy within all of us. You're presence alone is great love, and your music is the encore! Continue to follow your beautiful heart! Jon Westfall - Thursday, June 1st, 2006 3:08 PM PDT Hi Eric, Realize it's been a long time however it's been a busy few years. Hope to pick up your new CD this weekend and take a listen.

Sent you an email about a month ago and haven't heard back. I don't see Fort Collins, Co on your tour so far! That worried me that you might skip our area this year and we certainly hope not. Sending prayers and lots of healing thoughts. Your friend, Cindy The Frye family - Friday, April 14th, 2006 12:27 AM PDT Hey Eric! I see you have another cd!
