Ahhh, 1952, I was all of Six Years Old, had to wait another
9 or 10 years to really get this.

I was 5 at the time
and I never did get it. Couldn't feel it.
Here's what I could feel:

Good afternoon CB. Thanks for reading and for adding
the Allman Brothers to the mix. I've got about 18 minutes of Parker, Brown, Peterson and all the rest before I can start listening to that, but thanks mucho.
be well and have a good one.

If you don't have time
skip to 27.22. Still gets me a little high....
I have tons of time at the moment, so no problemo.

As time goes by, I find that more and more people
seem to call into question Eric Clapton's reputation. Debate bubbles around over which parts he played on which songs -- beginning with the question of Dwayne Allman's contribution to the "signature riff" from Layla. One of the things that annoys me about that particular debate is that Layla actually has two signature guitar riffs, one played high on the neck, and one played down near the nut. When I saw EC in concert back in '83, he played the lower riff, and Albert Lee took the high one. In any case, it's worth pointing out that the Layla riffs are beautiful, but they are not difficult to play.
There also seems to be doubt about which of the tastiest bits on the Slowhand album were his, and which were George Terry's -- not a small matter of doubt, considering the exhilarating solos on The Core. But anyway. Here's the thing. If you want to understand just what exactly the excitement was all about, the place to start is with the Derek & the Dominos Live at the Fillmore album -- and especially with these two dealies here, one 14-minute jam and one 20-minute jam, in which Derek (= Eric) kicks out the jams for real. The second, Let it Rain, blows into smithereens the accusation I've seen that Clapton pretty much limits himself to rattling around on pentatonic scales.
If your only familiarity with EC is the stuff you've heard on the radio, even including White Room, these jams are gonna re-edumacate you. [EDIT to add:] WARNING: Do not attempt to jam out to these jams while operating heavy machinery or performing surgery.

The earth is a multibillion-year-old sphere.
The Nazis killed millions of Jews.
On 9/11/01 a Boeing 757 (AA77) flew into the Pentagon.
AGCC is happening.
If you cannot accept these facts, I cannot fake an interest in any of your opinions.
Thanks, McDuff. I'm not among the doubters, since I
followed Eric for many, many decades, including catching a ton of his acoustic work.
be well and have a good one.

My music stash is over 26,000 songs (200GB)
I've got tons of the old blues masters: all of BB King, oldies like Bessie Smith, Big Mama Thornton, Brownie McGhee, Buddy Guy, Carey Bell, Coco Montoya, Denise LaSalle, Elvin Bishop, Etta James, Precious Bryant (and about 25 other names in this blues section - all my music is in complete albums). Latin, Slow Rock, Rock 'n Roll, Classical, Guitar, Piano, Concert, Tibet, Boogie Woogie, Cajun.... and a hundred other genres.
BTW, I use MediaMonkey to store, collate and play them. Everything is on a 500GB USB SSD, including software, so they can be plug 'n played on any Win 10 or Linux computer.
I have a pretty good collection but is is all over the place
and on multiple media, so thanks for the link. I'll look into media monkey
