Ridgely live : College Station, TX (circa 1997-98)
We unearthed this little jewel from Eric’s days of yore while in Ridgely. This was a show Ridgely played with The Normals (Andrew Osenga & co.). A little love note about EP’s native land, Louisiana. It seemed only appropriate to give it a home here in Lagniappe.

“Miracle of Forgetting” B-sides
In his relentless bid to keep peace with the restless natives starving for more music, Eric has offered a few mp3s from the “Miracle of Forgetting” recording sessions (September 2002 - April 2003). All for various reasons, these songs (or their particular versions) failed to make the final album cut. However, not wanting to leave the wee-little tykes out in the cold only to wither away to naught, we figured you, the uber-devoted fan, might enjoy them for all their might-have-beens.
Note to self: these are unmastered demos swimming in all their imperfections. But, hey, they’re free so don’t complain.
