Hi everyone
Until very recently my view of Clapton has always been that I just didn't 'get' his playing.
I found it great to a point... then disappointing, as I felt people like Hendrix and Stevie Ray could take you to the same point as Clapton, except the later two could then accelerate into the beyond area!
Anyway something has clicked and I get him! I finally have heard what all the fuss is about.
His tone and songs are so well crafted!! His bends full of soul and his understated style if you allow it to wash over a clear mind are just wonderful!
Anyway I found this site that I am going to have a good geek on tomorrow

Hi Frank
It has taken a while for the penny to drop. From the same era I have always loved Robbie Krieger from the Doors, Jimmy Page, Peter Green but Clapton has left me wanting.
I at last realise that is the great thing the left wanting
The percussion teacher at the school I teach when I said how I had come to like him said how Clapton's playing was so perfectly crafted to each song.
As I write Bell bottom Blues about Patty Boyd is in my head!!
