Hey! I want to talk about my longtime friend Eban Schletter WHO IS STILL VERY MUCH ALIVE. After 20+ years of frequent collaboration with me (and SO MANY other people) Eban is finally taking the time to focus on his OWN projects.
I cannot fully express how much better Eban has made everything he’s touched. Working with him on various projects has been nothing but a dream. I think we only ever had two arguments in all the years we’ve worked together & they were both brought on by extreme stress. Not bad!
He is able to do so many different things: write, play, produce, goddamned SOUND EFFECTS, whatever. All at the same time. And always excited, always laughing, always amped by creativity (and an inhuman amount of coffee).
He has done so much for me (and countless others) and I am so, so happy that he is putting his foot down and doing his own projects. He has more than earned the right to be choosier about what he does and focusing on his own creativity.
In addition to being a creative genius he is a gracious, graceful man, one of the best people I’ve ever known. He is a wonderful husband, father and friend. I hope he’ll jump on stage with me every once on a while to play piano while I ramble on and on.
I’ll be doing some live shows soon, and normally he’d be there for these types of shows. It’ll definitely be an adjustment without him, but his spirit will be present in the stuff I do that I built with him way back when. I can’t wait to see what he builds himself.
I love you Eban! SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND
