Happy Birthday to Eric Clapton!

Happy 66th birthday to Eric Clapton......

The debate among music lovers about who's the best guitar player in rock history is a totally fruitless one. Since I'm not a guitar player, my thoughts are based on what I hear, or course friends of mine who do play have a different set of criteria when discussing this area. One thing for sure however is that Eric Clapton had solidified his place in rock history even before embarking on a solo career. He has come a long way from the purist who left The Yardbirds over the fact they were being too "commercial", but has since found a way for the most part to keep his music weaving in a blues base. Choosing some clips here is not easy...but we'll give you some of my favorites.....
