I played in a band with Erwin when we were in bible college at WBC in the fall of 1977. I don't remember much, it was a long time ago, but I remember he was quiet and mellow and I enjoyed his company. He played electric piano, I played bass. We rocked, in a 1977 bible college kind of way. - Posted by: Albert Klassen (Brief aquaintance, in 1977.) on: Sep 08, 2014
