If I've learned anything from my parents about music it's that Eric Clapton is King. Not to say that he is either of their favorite artists (well maybe my fathers favorite), but a good portion of my childhood was filled with songs from Cream, The Yardbirds, Blind Faith, Derek and The Domino's and Eric Clapton himself. Most of what i learned about Rock 'n Roll was from these bands, whether they were played in the house, on a family road trip or at one of my parents parties. AND here's the kicker.... He was in ALL of these groups at some point in his career!!! Mind blown - i know!
No one can doubt his amazing guitar skills or staying power. The man's won 18 Grammy's and is the only artist to be inducted into the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame 3 separate times.
This song came on my pandora mix at work this morning and made me smile. I love hearing a song on either the radio, ipod, pandora, whatever your musical preference and find yourself saying, "Oh Man! I forgot about this song!" Sometimes when you have too many favorites like me, you forget great songs that you loved listening to.
As one of my favorite Clapton songs, i hope you listen to this and it makes you smile. Or, dig up your forgotten song and listen... and maybe it'll just make your day. :)
~Enjoy! PL
