Eric Clapton reveals this week of his declining health


The King of Electric Guitar this week, Eric Clapton, announced to the news media that he is just about completely deaf from severe tinnitus and is suffering nerve damage to his hands that will in just a matter of time compromise his ability to play. When Clapton goes it will be the end of the Rock era as we know it.

Years ago, B.B.King was asked at a press conference who he thought was the greatest rock guitarist of all time, he replied,
"My personal opinion?..."Eric Clapton is the greatest rock and roll guitar player of all time." 1986

Clapton is still the "Man". One of my fave live moments is during The Last Waltz.

During his performance, the guitar strap broke and EC never lost a lick.

 

Happy Listening!

True. A Power Trio setting can work musical wonders.

 

Happy Listening!

Very nice overview of EC in both roles with The Cream then Derek and the Dominos.

 

Jack Bruce was a BEAST! (R.I.P.)

 

Happy Listening!

if it weren't for hemodyalysis, Clapton nor Keith Richards, would be alive in 2018.
