Stillwater Roots
Eddie's history with the musicians who would become Stillwater goes back to his early Macon years. Before Stillwater took shape, several future members were part of a high school production band known as The Stage Band, formed around the Follies.
The group included Mike Causey, Sebie Lacey, Daniel "Bud" Ford, and a young guitarist named Rob Walker, whose talent they quickly recognized.
Eddie was later drafted into the United States Army in 1972 as a Vietnam-era veteran, taking him away before Stillwater's next chapter unfolded. Decades later, that shared history remains part of why he continues to join Stillwater for reunion performances.
