  2:47pm

I think it's very cool of Eric to sometimes just play bass in his wife's band. He let's Amy Rigby take the spotlight and do her thing. He sits back there and backs her up. Very impressive that he can just support his wife, and it doesn't have to be about him. That's why they are such a cool couple.
