whistlepunk Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 Spotlight: As y'all might like to know, guitarist, singer, songwriter Eric Clapton is 60 years old today. A three-time inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Clapton was one of England's most influential rock musicians. His style is patterned after American blues guitar, and after musicians like B.B. King, T-Bone Walker and Robert Johnson. "Layla," inspired by his relationship with Pattie Boyd Harrison (George's wife), is one of his most famous pieces. Quote

whistlepunk Posted March 30, 2005 Author Posted March 30, 2005 True, but some killer stuff from the likes of JJ Cale, Buddy Guy, Hubert Sumlin, John McLaughlin and others. It's fun to see those old farts on TV. I don't ride elevators much. Quote
