Being able to get overweight in 92 dumping platters of heavily breaded popcorn shrimp for 10 bucks in a sketchy joint before america made such distinctions. You had to be there.
found a cd of his music while cleaning up tonight. I didn't know him well. In the early 2000's i was a dj at a college radio station in San Antonio and knew and loved a certain song he wrote and recorded. I played it a lot on the radio and even had a radio interview with him once where we talked about music and he played some of his music live on-air. He was genuine, kind and funny. I can see why he made an impression on so many people. I still enjoy playing his cd. It brings back memories and feelings from a time of innocence. "pretty little marathon" will always be a great song! Rest In Peace Eric.
I just found this wonderful tribute last night. I recognize a lot of his friends and fam. Eric is hugely loved and missed. More then anything it lead me to think. I had left a nice summarized history of our relationship. Hmm it was nice but bc of that it was pointless. So I’ll try to give some more truth and meaning. Eric was my songwriting teacher and I would have never become a songwriter if not for him. I owe him more then I can ever repay but our relationship was Not perfect. I started going to the Sam’s burger joint open mic in 2002. I was completely green being about 23 years old to Eric being 29 -32 not sure. I played “just like tv” which is now a foundational song on my first ep released in 2004 called “too much time on the internet” I believe this is the first song to catch his attention as one night when he was tipsy on blue ribbon “cheap beer” he quoted back at me, “I’m lying to her and she’s lying to me, but it feels Just like tv” he said , “that’s it , you’ve done it all” insinuating that the song was perfect. We quickly became friends with him calling me to make sure I was coming to put me on the list. The list was something Eric would it put out before the open mic started bc this event was starting to be the premiere open mic in San Antonio. He’s make sure to tell me which songs he was Not thrilled about. Heh, he kind of go.. that song “eh” like Larry David in curb your enthusiasm, which he adored. He then invited me over to his house for spurs games and take to see the missions. I loved basketball but minor league baseball I went bc he liked it. So we did have a real friendship as far as I could tell. Of course I was very young dumb and fully of milky white substance. A year or 2 passed like this and bc of his attention, thoughtful critique and teaching i got better so fast. My stage presence and musical stylings I exclusively owed to him. As my popularity grew , he may have felt I was stealing his thunder. When introducing me to 2 young ladies he was sitting with, he said, “ this Cito Chesshero is protégés whom I took under my wing , more like he forced himself under my wing” I didn’t understand what he could possibly be feeling so I just thought it was weird and moved on. He stopped giving me preferential treatment. Firstly, no invites or offers to watch movies or spurs or mission games much less big parties were happening. Next he stopped asking me to open for him on his personal gigs. Instead inviting Casey Miller whom was an amazing kid and good songwriter in his own right. Casey is a great guy and none of this was his fault. Casey was always good to me and I enjoyed his talent as well: I didn’t worship bob Dylan like he did but nothing wrong w it. The only relevance is that i wasn’t invited any more. Over the next few years we drifted apart. No calls no real updates no more open mic . I had got success and my own open mic on my own. Now to the point of all this . To give an honest account of what of what happened and not just something you say at a funeral or tribute. 2. More importantly, his legacy lives on through me . When I was listening to Astrology says, on “You never get what you want” I realized all the similarities in my song “So, no one has to know “ on my album , Songs for Songwriters. Thematically w music mechanics and style very similar. It dawned on me just how much I owe to him for being the man I am in addition to songwriter. That this music is Not mine to hoard or keep complete credit for. So, I’d like to officially give my consent for any use to any of my music concerning Eric Geyer. Any tribute any event any UA-cam video is allowed to use my music in any capacity without having to worry about copyright infringement. I have 3 albums that someone might get flagged for the music of any these tracks on … 1.Too Much Time On The Internet, 2. Songs For Songwriters, 3. Common Senseless Sense If you read this Thank you for your time This was definitely done out of love for Eric You are missed buddy❤ I think I’m w better songwriter then you .. As my teacher I know you want me to think like that
My favorite place when I was a teenager working. I worked at Sizzler Family Steakhouse from 1979 through 1980 then off to the army to Fort Leonard Wood Missouri for basic training.
I had moved from Germany to Illinois and we got into our house on Christmas Eve - I remember my dad turning on our little black and white TV, loaned to us by a neighbor along with a couch and this was the first commercial I saw in between the Christmas specials - "Dem bones dem bones" always remind me of Christmas 1981 - Great times and thanks for posting!
I've lived in the Chicago-area of Illinois for most of my life... Sadly, in 1990, many Sizzler locations in my neighborhood closed in June 1990...but not even a year later, we found out that many of the suburbs further outside of Chicago city limits, still had Sizzler Restaurants! Sadly...this was short-lived, as the remaining locations closed between mid-1993 and late-1994. 😢 I miss the food, the restaurants and the "Sizzler atmosphere," but what I miss the most, is the time that I spent with my beloved, dearly departed (as of '14) father, who would take me there after my hockey games and martial arts promotions (earning my next Tai Kwon Do belt). I absolutely LOVE the food and menu, but the nostalgia and "father-son bonding" is irreplaceable! Also, when I was 17, I dated a really awesome chick...the only ex-girlfriend that I still communicate with, a beautiful woman with which I dined at one of the very last Sizzlers in Cook County, IL... one of our favorite places to eat (July-August '94) just a month or two before it closed! Today, it is an absolutely delicious Soul Food restaurant called "Prescilla's" ...And delicious as they may be, I'll never forget the "Sizzler that used to be..." 😥
Eric Geyer! I remember Eric Geyer from back in the early 90's. We both played regularly at 'The Chicago House', in Austin Texas. Those were truly some good times, We were both pursuing our dreams and experiencing dreams. I just found out, via random email, that Eric passed away in his sleep. Now, this morning, I am sad, which is a good thing, for many people liked Eric. He must've been 19 or 20 when our paths crossed, and I've just learned that he went on to become a wise man, a "master teacher" of teenagers! That's as wise as it gets! The most amazing thing to me about Eric Geyer's passing is, none of us knows what Eric is doing, right now, but we all know for sure, without a doubt, that it is something absolutely amazing, something that none of us will ever be able to imagine, in our wildest dreams! Eric passed away in his sleep, while he was still dreaming...

My name Cito. (Chesshero) Eric was my songwriting teacher. Not for money and definitely, reluctantly of course. I sort of pushed myself under his wing but he was important part of my life and I became a great songwriter bc of him. He meant a lot to me and I’d like to know what happened. It’s been about 8-10 years since we spoke. I’ve put out 3 albums under chesshero and accomplished everything I set out to in music and he was a big part of that. Please someone contact me at 2105485513. Eric was a very important person in my life and I’d like to help or share whatever I can. I have tons on good memories at his house watching spur games or when he took me to mission games. I first met at the sams burger joint open mic. Thank you Andres Cito Hernandez

I always thought we’d make up and be friends in the end. Never happened … I really miss him
I should have eaten before I started watching.😅
The crème de la creme of fine dining for a middle class kid in the 80’s and 90’s
🤣😂 the children will never know a real price to go out until they watch commercials from my generation
OUR LANGOSTINO LIKE TINY LOBSTER
This line playing in my head since childhood is what made me seek out these commercials!
BIG BEEFY RIBZ, HEAVY WITH MEAT
LOOOOOOOOOVE sizzler, need it brought back in Sonoma County please please
BASTED WITH A TANGY BARBEQUE SAUCE
I bet the actors at 2:41 totally boned after they finished shooting the commercial. That's what people do. They bone.
Oh, how I miss when Sizzler was still in the Midwest.
I miss the old days when people actually cared about each other
DEM PRIME RIB BONEZ
DEM BEEF BONEZ
DEM BONEZ
DEM BONEZ
Themb’ bones…
Those beef ribs at the beginning REALLY don't look appetizing
They most definitely was gray.
DEM BONEZ
So Sizzler used to be called "The" Sizzler? IS IT STILL?!!
My favorite place when I was a teenager working. I worked at Sizzler Family Steakhouse from 1979 through 1980 then off to the army to Fort Leonard Wood Missouri for basic training.
The first time I went to Sizzler as a kid I asked my mom if we were gonna be on TV. 😅
🤣
Steak AND King Crab for $5.49!!!! Golee!!!
3:08 Hi Paul Rudd
Not even close buddy
I remember East side San Jose sizzler night in the 80s unlimited shrimp
Memories!
Some of these commercials seem vaguely erotic.🤷♂️
😦
Am I the only one that noticed the pricing? Lol Wow times have changed! I loved the Sizzler.
That 7.99 is amazing lol
Yea its crazy how prices are way higher now.
Damn, you'll never see these prices again.
Inflation though. Those NES cartridges were 50 bucks back in the eighties, and that's like over 90$ in today's money
Lovely bloke... met him back in the 90s..turned me on to Uncle Tupelo and saw him live a few times after buying Make it Hum. Sad he is gone.
To think the Bremerton location is now very run done and has been empty scene Sizzler closed.

Hmmm....they never had all you can eat shrimp in Australian sizzlers!
If you listen carefully the second voice on there is James Earl Jones AKA Darth Vader!
Nope. Percy Rodriguez, voice behind many memorable trailers, in particular Jaws. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percy_Rodriguez
dem bones
What does beef ribs taste like?
Like beef ribs...duh!
@@charlietu haha!
Not NEARLY as good as pork, I'll tell you that!
When my dad got that raise, it was Steak and Ale time!!!😋😋😋
Last hung out with Eric back in 2003 at his house in SA. We will miss you!
Eric and I were class mates and friends at Macarthur. Does anyone know how he passed? Was he sick?
Loved this place: Malibu Chicken especially
Mine too
Haha i remember Malibu chicken.

A spirited tribute to one of our great troubadours.
