 Eric "Rick" Von Schmidt (May 28, 1931 -- February 2, 2007) was an American singer-songwriter and Grammy Award recipient. He was associated with the folk/blues revival of the 1960s and a key part of the East Coast folk music scene that included Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Richard & Mimi Farina, among many others.

 Eric was also a talented painter, and it was this that became the center of his creative life. Bob Dylan absorbed much of Eric's encyclopedic knowledge of American folk, country and blues, and one of Eric's LPs is in the cover photograph of Bob's 'Bringing It All Back Home' album. Dylan once wrote of Eric von Schmidt, "For here is a man who can sing the bird off the wire and the rubber off the tire. He can separate the men from the boys and the note from the noise. The bridle from the saddle and the cow from the cattle. He can play the tune of the moon. The why of the sky and the commotion from the ocean. Yes he can."

Mijn muziekvrienden (Gerrit en Ane) stuurden mij deze mooie film van C+B tijdens een 2 metersessie in Grollo in 2005. Prachtige beelden van de huidige

Window of my eyes
De single "Window of my eyes" komt van de lp ,,Thrippin thru a midnight Blues,,. Het stond tien weken in de Nederlandse Top 40 met als hoogste notering de tiende plaats. "Window of my eyes" zou het meest succesvolle nummer van Cuby and the Blizzards worden, vertegenwoordigd in alle muziekoverzichten van de laatste 40 jaar. Harry Muskee vindt het nog steeds z’n mooiste nummer. Uit liefdesverdriet ontstaan in de boerderij in Grollo, met een monumentale gitaarsolo van Eelco Gelling op z’n Gibson Les Paul.

Van links naar Rechts: Jaap van Eyck,Harry Muskee,Eelco Gelling, Dick Beekman,Herman Brood.Dit is mijn favoriete C+B bezetting.Vele malen in deze samenstelling zien spelen ,toen Herman en later Eelco de band verlieten was het wat mij betreft wel een beetje over.Natuurlijk bleven we Harry en zijn maten wel volgen ,maar de chemie was er niet meer.
Tot zo,n jaar of vijftien geleden,een feesttent op de markt in Middelburg.C+B traden er op,en wat een concert!Een zeer strakke band,een geweldige gitarist Erwin, en zangwer Harry in topvorm ,het was er weer helemaal!

Fill Your Head With Rock (Side 3 & 4 )

Fill Your Head with Rock (1970) was the third release in the successful CBS Records Rock Machine UK budget sampler album series. It broke new ground, by extending the format to a double album, and also featured more UK artists than previous samplers.

Compiler David Howell (later Managing Director of Pete Waterman's PWL label) stated that while the earlier samplers were merely aimed at promoting specific full-price releases, this record was part of a major push to establish the label as "the top label in contemporary music" in the UK, and also to establish the market for double albums.
