When Mark Knoffler says he's been on stage with you and had been blown away by your playing, that's when you know you're good
SAW Eric with Mark at Albert Hall in 80s, Eric played Mark's songs no problem ,Mark struggled to play on some of Eric's tunes, they did a great show but Eric was so relaxed his superb playing seemed effortless.
Did he ever play with Jeff Beck?
they were both in Yardbirds but not sure if they overlapped.@@stuartevins613
@@stuartevins613 Not in a band situation, but you can find clips of Clapton & Beck playing together at various venues over the years.
BBC Number One = CREAM.
Bruce (RIP), Baker (RIP) and Clapton.
In my humble opinion, being a boomer and a lifelong fan, they were the very best British trio/supergroup of 1960s.
Cream fan forever ☮️❤️🎸.
Nothing wrong with being a boomer Buck Studley I'm gen Z and I love em'
He just played a concert to benefit the people of Hawaii, Sept, 3rd, 2023. Always a servant giver. God has blessed the man. One of my few Heroes.
We're did he do that concert
2 September, from Portugal I believe. @@patriciacestare232
Agree totally, Thanks for sharing
He probablly haves a property there
@@anfrankogezamartincic1161 what if ...did he... maybe....?
The sound of his signature guitar is just pure CREAM... Nothing else sounds like it. The true legacy of a legend.
I've seen Eric 3 times. A religious experience. Rolling stone quoted "Clapton is God" Gotta say I agree.#1guitarist on the planet. I'm grateful for helping me find my "Crossroads. Lol , Cheryl, Tampa Bay, Florida.
AMEN TO YOU ❤FOREVER FAN ❤
Mr Clapton has won my respect in every way. Not only as a musician. But as a person. A person That lived a far from perfect life in the spotlight. When his documentary came out, it showed him in a horrible place , saying horrible things, yet he faces it, he doesn’t seem to hide from his mistakes. Respect
I laugh at people who call him racist 😂 . He was outspoken during COVID regards vaccinations , but he suffered a lot of pain after getting one . I've been left with one arm after the doctor injected me too high on my left arm and has left me in pain and discomfort 2 years later . Although I had three further jabs , I'll never get another .
Yes he's very open ,humble guy.3 60s guitar legends -him ,Peter green and obviously Hendrix, I admire all what Eric has survived from .
@@waynesilverman3048 ....and me!
@@TheSavagederek I'm sorry to read this. I refused to take the v@€€ines, and I had no idea that if it was in¿ected in the wrong place it could be even more harmful. How awful. I am so sorry. I hope you heal from the pain. 🥺
That's the power of recovery from addiction 😊
A female friend of mine produced 3 cuts on a compilation album with Eric Clapton, Adele and Michael Mcdonald. She is the daughter of someone who at one point was a household name and she's parlayed that into carving out a stellar career as a producer.
During the Clapton session she was forced to ask him to play something slightly different that was a bit out of his zone. After what seemed like an eternity he responded, "Sing me what you want me to play." She did, he did and all was well.
About a month went by and she gets a call on her mobile from a UK mobile number. She anwers, "Hello this is ****, whos is this?" "Oh hello luv it's Eric. I just listened to that track we did last month. Wanted you to know you made the right call. Keep your pecker up because you're a good producer." Her reply was, "Thank you very much, I appeciate your vote of confidence. Btw, you're a pretty good guitar player yourself." After what seemed like and eternity again Eric suddenly burst out with a hearty gut laugh and said, "You're cheeky and I love it. Talk soon, Luv." She says he calls her about 4 times per year since. She's very much in demand now and gives him all the credit.
I bought an old Strat from a pawnshop in 1971 after seeing Cream in Chicago in 1968 I wanted to be Clapton, but so did everyone else…it turned out to be a 1954 Strat number 0262….Thank You Eric! For everything🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I hope you held on to it, if it’s collecting dust I will accept it as a donation and pay shipping? Not likely
@@flouisbailey when I pass on my son, who is the true musician in the family, will inherit it…… Hopefully he hangs on to it well….🤷♂️
@@Cream1968 That’s great, he needs to play and respect it. Is it insured? He needs to understand it’s a historical artifact and not something to fart away or have someone steal. I’m warm and fuzzy just to chat with you. As a friend,
I needed to sell some collectibles some from my Dad to payoff our new home, paid for brick house. I think my Dad would be proud. Consider a fire resistant gun safe. Glad to sorta know you.
@@flouisbailey I actually had it appraised recently and I don’t want to tell them what it’s truly worth,originally thought it was a 57 Strat until I had a guitar tech bring it up to speed and he showed me all historical relevance, the piece of tape from the woman who wired it, named Gloria and the initials on the neck from Taddio Gomez, with the date of 6/54 He was fenders neck man until he left to work at Disneyland because they weren’t paying him enough money! lol nice knowing you as well…😉🇬🇧
@@Cream1968 Museum quality, OG (original guitar). I was born in 1951, I likely have more wrinkles than that guitar 🎸. What color is it, white, strung upside down? Roll over and let Jimmy take over LOL That’s all that’s missing is who bought it first. Wow makes my head spin.
The thumbnail was very enlightening. I had no idea Eric could play left-handed. I now have even more respect for him.
He's never played left-handed. It's an edit. Ambidexterity isn't a valuable addition for a guitar player.
I got your humor, even though not everyone did? I was going to comment on the thumbnail myself.
@@huntercoleman1347 I don't know about that. I generally get jokes but that one just seemed like an earnest sentence. Don't fuss over it. Have fun!
Ikr? How do they do that SHI?
Was a great time to be young and alive, 60’s &70’s! Cream ..Alan Parsons Project… Elton John, Emerson,Lake &Palmer and Beatles, Doors !geeze … great time to be alive! Love to hear the blues in your work Eric!!!❤😮😊
BrotherEric is without a doubt an icon…. My guitar hero and ive worshiped him since the Yardbirds…. I started playing guitar because of him… above all he is an exceptional human being which shows in his compassion for his fellow human beings…. Selling his guitars to help other people speaks volumes… there is a special place in heaven for this guy and hes earned it with the way he has lived his live….thank you Eric for the insperation my brother…..always have and always loved your music and your example you have set for all of us…my wish is that you will live for ever. God bless
thats real genuine and love of Eric...and his persona...
"above all he is an exceptional human being which shows in his compassion for his fellow human beings…. Selling his guitars to help other people speaks volumes…"he has lived a life ..no one but a few will understand...a humble survivor...
I am always going to remember. In one of the many ... many interviews that l saw of him . He said ... that he was or trying to make his guitar sing !!! And it got me . He is an amazing man !!! And one of the best musicians ever . He is 79 now, and he keeps playing non-stop. Better and better with time !!! Long life, Eric Clapton. I always admire you !!! And enjoy very much listening to you !!!
EC is a working class musician. I fully respect his honesty as someone mentioned before. For me is a musical key as he connected me with blues and 60s psychedelia (Cream). From Blues I went to Jazz, from psychedelia i went from Pink Floyd to the Grateful Dead through Folk-Americana and 70s prog...he opened "The Doors" for me 😄. I play guitar too and try to sing so he's one of my main influences
😊"?.😊
For me it’s try, as you say. Clapton makes it look so easy, but he has a massive head start. Cream and song Badge on my teen 45 rpm, later hooked to guitar am input. Blind Faith was played in my dorm room windows and listened two floors higher at friends room.
Not sure why we didn’t turn it down and stay in same room. Crazy College daze or Haze.
Sting - "I listened to The Bluesbreakers album until I could play every song note for note!"
Everybody else - "Bollocks!!!"
LOL......yep ....probably play it in his head
@@fostexfan160 Haha! Did you FORGET how to play? That level of ability would make him the best guitarist in The Police. Andy Summers might disagree 😁🎸🎶
@@johnscott6960
Every great band needs a bass player, Sting would be my choice. Summers excellent of course. Recently pulled out my vinyl Police greatest hits, quality equipment required. For me better when my wife is out of the house. My three Boxers like more acoustic music.
@@flouisbailey❤
I'm no fan of Sting but he's a great bass player and he can surely write songs. Maybe he meant that he could play what the bass player on the Bluesbreaker album does note for note? 🤔
The reason I love guitar , the Blues and Fender Stratocasters . Let it grow was our first dance at our wedding in 2000 . Thanks Eric 😊
I'm going to see my hero Eric clapton in Pittsburgh 2023
Mine are for Denver on Sept 16. I could not be more thrilled.
I’m going on September 10th in Toronto!! Can’t wait to see him again after seeing him 22 years ago.
You are all very lucky . Oh to be able to go back and see Cream back in the day .
I’ve been lucky enough to see him twice. He’s a good one to pick for a Hero. Wishing you a great time. He’s one helluva musician.
@@markmartin3221 Mr. Martin: Thank you for your kind words and well wishes for those of us holding tickets to the pending Clapton tour. Words like yours can be hard to find with all of the trolls and just plain mean spirited folks out there. I wish you the very best.
My introduction to the world of rock and blues began with the work of Eric and Jimi and other guitar greats in the 1960's. Claptons legacy will be remembered for many years to come and his best work will stand the test of time without a doubt. I can thank him personally for motivating me at the tender age of 10 to pick up an electric guitar to try and discover his magic formula.
Cream was an awesome group not only for the 60s IMHO, far ahead of their time. Ginger was a monster one drums, Jack a wizard on bass, well, and Eric, you all know, just a god on Fender guitar. Cream is still one of my favourite band of today..And btw, this documentary is just fantastic. Nobody describes Eric better than Robert Cray does. He puts down the essence of Eric's genius: Its adherence to style, beauty, and most of all, pure simplicity
Eric was playing Gibsons during CREAM.
@@marions.120my exact thought as well..sg’s I think or 335’s.
@@mobiditch6848 -Both!
They’re not joking around when they say, Eric is one of the best guitar players in the world!❤
Eric is Simply the perfect guitar player!for many generations Clapton îs greatest guitarist!no others words.longl live Eric and thanks for all!
Really enjoyed this documentary. An honest and sometimes unflattering picture of a complicated and gifted man. I have one criticism...the name JJ Cale was conspicuously absent. JJ and Eric had a long and warm friendship that deserves mention. The album "Road to Escondido" featured JJ and Eric together, and was released shortly before JJ passed away, and is worth listening to.
That album introduced me to JJ. What a great guy and guitarist, and my favorite Clapton album.
Well, better late than never! LOL! I've been a big JJ Cale fan since the mid 70s. Sounds just as good today as he did back then. I had been waiting for 30 years for Eric and JJ to do something together.@@taxationistheft711
CLAPTON IS # 1 Guitarist Song Writer On The Planet . ✨✨✨🎸✨✨✨🌏
461 ocean blvd, theres one in every crowd and ec was here....my fave clapton lps
ive been blessed to see mr clapton, 4 or 5 times, even tho he's getting up n years, it's stil amazing to see him play....enjoy these legends if you can, they are like the land, thier not making anymore of them!
Excellent on so many levels. Thank you.
Thank you so much for posting, I really enjoyed watching this 🎸🎸.
I SEEN ERIC OVER 200X, HE IS BY FAR MY FAVORITE ARTIST, I'M 66 TODAY XMAS EVE, AND IN EVERY TIME OF MY LIFE, GOOD, BAD, HAPPY, SAD, THERE IS HIS MUSIC, AND A SONG, THAT I COULD PLAY, AS IF THE SONG WAS WRITTEN, JUST FOR ME, FOR EXACTLY THAT MOMENT I PLAYED IT
This came out in 2001/2, great documentary!
I still have my copy on VHS!! 📼 😄

The thing about the interviews with Eric in this documentary, and others I've seen, his his honesty. He doesn't put on about how good he his, instead he questions the fact that there are very few who rise to his level, when he seems to not think he does.
Great documentary. ;-)
I saw an interview where he was asked how it felt to be one of the best guitar players in the world. His answer was, I don’t know ask Trey Anastasio.
@@MarkCrosson-qz7ck😅
@@MarkCrosson-qz7ck There are *so* many unverified versions on social media of the statement: 'When guitarist A was asked what it was like to be number one, he replied "I don't know, ask guitarist B".
So please post a link to the source of the interview you saw.
@@MarkCrosson-qz7ckTrey said that about Eric.
I just seen him in Pittsburgh and all i can say if he ever comes back or comes close ill be there
Best of the best saw him in Mobile with Muddy Waters . Favorite "Crossroads"
My praise and respect for Eric Claption was taken to another level when I heard Cream's Grande Ballroom show. The shredding on "N.S.U" is a little different than "Wonderful Tonight"
He’s a true gentleman and pure artist. To this day no concert compares.
Didn´t he take off with George Harrison´s wife?
Great guitarist but a gentleman?
@@damianreed1990 Patti was anyones...shes that innocent...thats why Eric saw as a challenge...once Eric got mother he wasnt interested...
I wouldn't want a friend like that.@@annieg1812
@@damianreed1990 Exactly.
Oh yes by far a gifted gifted gifted, man. But he's a despicable despicable human being. And he did far more than take off with George Harrison's wifehe ruined a lot of women's lives and let's not forget he left his own son-in the hands of a negligent caretaker.
Was and is a pig.
He's not a good person. Gentlemen that's not the word I would use for him.
Eric Clapton is a gifted musician. Probably one of the most gifted that ever lived. But he's a despicable human being .
He has used women for many many years while using drugs.
Even while not using the drugs.
Even after he got clean he thinks throwing money at the problem and opening an elite rehab center on an island only for the elite, fixes the years of damage he caused.
Trust me, many of his fans worship him but many know what a vile insipid pig he was & It wasn't just a case with George Harrison's wife it was so much more than that.
And yes, I have room to talk, I'm in recovery I used for years myself. I never came close to doing some of the things that he did I never even thought of them.
And yes I've been judged too so let's not go there.
He's awful, he's far from a gentleman. And honestly I guess I'm no lady either.
Thanks for the memories
Being a guitarist since the age of 11.. I'm now 62 years old..i can truly say that Eric was and is one of the mount Rushmore of guitarist in my opinion..I mean there have been alot of great great players and certainly players of greater technical abilities than Eric...but any real player that is a serious guitar player knows that influence is of a far greater importance than technically ability...and when you get into talking about influence Eric Clapton is at the top...for me personally he is up there wirh Hendrix who in some people's minds is at the very top of the list of influencual guitar players... when i was growing up in the 70s Eric was like a chameleon...he was a bluesman but yet he could be a pop star and i think that was just the way he was on a personal level... never sticking around any genre for an extended amount of time..and for me that what really has always been very appealing about his playing and song writing...🎸🎸🎸
Well stated, my friend.
Well stated…..😊🇬🇧🇬🇧
Interrupted by ads every 3 minutes, regardless of where is playing in the video. UA-cam should be ashamed of themselves.The woman who introduced the ads, Susan Diane Wojcicki, has a net worth estimated at $765 million in 2022.
That says all you need to know.
What a great documentary. I love how they show some of his solo stuff while the Yardbirds share there stories about Eric. Great stuff. Truly inspiring man.
beautifull documentary
I saw him in 70s im glad i lived clse to NYC. Got to see all the classic rock greats
Always been a big fan of his music.
Now even more so because he speaks his mind (vaccines etc.)
I wish there were more celebrities like him and Roger Walters.
Regards from a German fan
Mr. Clapton, one's guitar God on Earth, forever guitar God...after Jimmy Hendricks, the guitar God!!!
My favorite music man. I first heard him play with the yardbirds when I was 9 or 10. I have been listening to him for almost 60 years now. I thank God for Mr Eric Clapton. Take care folks. Vaughn
YOU AND ME BOTH. You know how crazy everyone became when the Beatles showed up in 1964? Cream created the same impact with me that the Beatles did for everyone else. Beatles were good, but it was pop. The Rolling Stones created Satisfaction in 1965. I thought that fuzz tone on the guitar was really cool and the Stones were the coolest band, not the Beatles. Cream broke the mold and created progressive rock. Disreali Gears just blew me away. I too Thought Eric Clapton was really something. Psychedelic rock, acid rock was invented. Cream had as big an impact on rock music as the Beatles. And then came Hendrix. What can I say, he's proof that there is life on other planets and that he was left here by mistake. lol
Legend....
Eric Clapton has a song for every feeling that someone could have. He is touching very deeply a person's soul however a someone feels. Clapton is an extremely individual in the things he does and at the same time he shares his accomplishments with every musician he plays with. He is amazing. I hope that I could listen to him on live stage performance. Let God give him many more years to play on the guitar,
❤ Oui en effet Un Magnifique Autodidacte !!!❤
I'm going to see my favorite in zpiitsburgh in 17 days then Crossroads Festival Eric hS done for me without even knowing it. I just told some lady off in You tube shorts Eric pays it forward so I pay it forward God and Eric's music has kept me sober going on 24 years ❤❤ Forever Fan until the day I die. I wish a bucket list to thank him in person.
Just listened to this interview with Eric Clapton discussing The Band and Robbie Robertson and RFK jr on "Inside The Music" and what a rare experience--oh my goodness! I grew up listening to the Band and Bob Dylan and JJ Cale and Jessi Winchester and John Mayall and Eric Clapton and Van Morrison and Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna and Joni Mitchell... etc, etc. Great to hear some discussion regarding RFK jr--we definitely need an alternative to the corporate status quo.
Sounds like we have similar backgrounds. I saw EC on 9/16/23 in Denver, the last North American stop on that tour, and 2 days later the he did an RFK benefit show that was rather last minute at someone's residence in Los Angeles. Where he resides part time in Columbus, Ohio, he's got a solid interest in US politics.
I 've never heard a musician and virtuosso of quitar like Jimi Hendrix. Clapton is a great quitar player ,I like his music too.
MOST EXCELLENT!!!!😊❤😢🎉😊
Ive watched this video now loads of times and its just dawned on me that they interviewed Eric , Jack, Sting , Keith and others but no Ginger Baker . Eric and Ginger were friends right up till Gingers passing a few years back , although they didnt see each other much , they were still mates .
great singer as well
Eric the love of my life😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Favorite album,"Slow Hand" blessed true musician few and far between.
Allways tell kids the truth😊never lie to them😊love you my love😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Olá!! Sou Samuel, muito prazer. Moro em São Paulo, Brasil.Hoje é 3 de setembro de 2023, domingo, são 17h03.Gosto muito de Eric Clapton, curto demais o solo de Layla, que el tocou grandiosamente no show do ano de 1995 e 1996, no Hyde Park.
Logo estarei ententendo o que fala.Também sou músico, ainda que amador, meu cnaal é o meu nome logo aima onde começo a escrita aqui, toco e cannto, de vez em quando pego um solo, o início da música layla, umas 4 notas da pentastônica no quinto traste eu peguei e comecei a tocar LAyla no primeiro traste usando Am, F e G .Gosto muito deste grande músico, que já fez show aqui em SP..
I was 12 or 13. Had a Monkeys album and somehow I came across Disraeli Gears. Still trying to remember how I got it?🤷🏻♂️. After hearing this album went from teenybop to the real thing! My younger sister got my Monkeys album! 😆. Cream got me into music. Played in a lot of high school rock bands in the early 70s because of Eric Claptons influence.
❤❤❤
Fantastic documentary but might have had more cream footage rather than 24 nights I agree with the person that enjoyed this more than life in 12 bars well done to all involved x
Clapton IS GOOD 😮
i used to listen to Eric in 1966
Yardbirds were a great band in the 60s, playing at the Marquee, the Scene etc all the old Mod haunts with the Who, the Kinks, Small Faces, the Action, the Creation, the Artwoods , The Birds , and the Legendary Pretty Things …..
I prefer this docu to Life in 12 Bars
Duane and Eric was one of the best pairings in music
Period
Clapton was in Awe of SRV!!
461 Ocean Blvd. is my favorite.
A great Beatle
1:02:10 What´s the name of the song and from what DVD it's taken from?
I think it's from the 24 Night Definitive Box Set. I don't know what the name of the song is, but it's definitely from the 24 nights run, so check out the box set and you may find it. The conductor is Michael Kaymen (spelling may be wrong on that).
Cream. Best trio that wasn’t really a trio. Wish more of the videos would line up with the musical timeline. Not the 80s/90s stuff. I think he was at his best in Cream. It pushed him to play better.
I agree totally.
worst period must've been mid 70s to early 80s? It's is for me anyway. His later stuff is pretty good I think.
Yup I don’t get at all why the modern performances were included while they were talking about the Bluesbreakers, for example. Very weird production decisions. Great interviews though.
I'm ditching this for all of the ads. Not getting the story interruptions
I always say this: GOTTA LOVE SLOWHAND!
1:02:10 anyone know what this song is from? With the orchestra.

Eric Clapton is still God
For your love was a great tune though to be fair , I love the Yardbirds….
Same
I lost interest in about 1971. But up that point he was fantastic.
Mistake at 38.07 where yhey say Cream formed in 1967,they formed in 1966
Переведите этот фильм на русский, пожалуйста!
They were never able to play 'I'm So Glad" and "Politician" as good again as they did on the "Goodbye" album.
I'm going to see Clapton in Birmingham 2024
You will not be disappointed. I saw him in Denver in September 2023.
I hate the saying "Clapton is God". He is not God. He is the penultimate player of many era's. His skill and style are unmatched. He is a fixture and fixation. In the top three for sure. Hopefully he will see that GOD has given him many, many gifts and such influence. Love Blind Faith and when he later joined with Steve Winwood to tour with.
Tom Dowd looks like Ray McGovern
ROBERT JOHNSON....THE TRUE VOICE OF LIFE...
The film is good except for the anachronisms. They explore his work with the Yardbirds or Mayall interspersed with videos and playing from the 80s and 90s. Clapton’s canon of recorded music is broad enough to play music from the era you are talking about.
An old fan misses the old stuff, everybody knows the things from the 90s and also the cream stuff
But what about the late sixties the early 70s
Derek and The Dominos, Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs, is my humble option the best album of Mr. Clapton's career. Like him, dislike him, it doesn't matter. As a work of music it has to be in your top ten of all time.
Big Bill Broonzy is cited WAY MORE often by English musicians than by American ones where he is far down the list of players who are admired here. Not sure why unless he relocated or played there early on. yeah i just checked that's the reason!
His style during Cream was a bit more freewheeling, wild, and interactive. He reacted to the great rhythmic diversity of baker and bruce. In contrast, later rhythm sections sounded dull, boring. I think Eric had more fun with Baker’s rhythms.
Peter Green was the better player and singer because of more feeling.
Clapton survived heroin and alcohol.
Green was ruined by LSD.
Peter Green probably would have been affected by mental illness, LSD or not.
Rubbish . Greeny was brilliant , but he was no Eric .
Good documentary , until it jumps from 461 ocean boulevard(1974) - Tears in Heaven (1992). Nothing of importance inbetween, apparently.
La traduzione in italiano ci vuole grazie i sovratitoli❤
Greatest of all time
CIapton is God.
Sting wants us to know its his CRAFT. This is freemasonry that he's referring to. The different language hes telling us about is called >masterfully speaking.
I did not know that Clapton is left handed ...
They call him slow- hand “
@@tiffanyroseangeles34 the slow hand has nothing to do with which hand he uses though . He was given that name in his time with the Yardbirds when he broke a string , he took a long time to change it out and they nicknamed him Slowhand . That's been documented by the then lead singer .
I would think that Buddy Holly was influenced by the hillbilly music that arose from the eastern hills of Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee etc. and the on coming Rock and Roll.
Loved the early stuff,hated his shoulderpadded blazer 80s crap and beyond.But..the way he treated JJ Cale in that documentary about Cale,made me see it clearly. Clapton is a really nice guy.(as was Cale,a true hero of mine)And i just like older music.And most 80s music IS a bunch of crap. Ps.Guitarplayers and chorus pedals:just keep them seperated.Its a horrible thing if they meet 😏👺and take the wrong turn🤢🤮🥵💩..Just say NO ,kids!! )Try an overdrive or fuzz instead ...☝️😁
Cream......1966*
Clapton, Beck and Page-doesn’t get any better than those three…
Surrey ...land soil..and waters...
I saw the three of them together during The ARMS concert.
@@marions.120 funny enough watched that yesterday on video....was there too in 83 ...Royal Albert Hall..
@@annieg1812-Awesome, saw them in San Francisco (Daly City) at the Cow Palace.
No mention of Hendrix...., hmmmmmmm?!?!
Don't forget Enoch Powell
discuss Enoch Powell ....and Brummie 's
Mark Knopfler had to have been referring to EVH when he stated that Eric laughed at certain players who attempted the blues. Poor Ed sent Eric the thing he did with Brian May, and got s**t on for it. Just remember Eric, it's in the heart of the beholder...I'm watching this, and you've never impressed me. Only watched PART of it because everyone else raves about you, alas, still got nothing to speak of out of it...not that you'd ever read anything by lowlife little old me.
playing the blues is simple to do but very difficult to do well.
