Hi Slowhanders,
I'm still looking for a good soul who can make me a copy of the 3CD's of the
Birthday Box Set.
Thanks for your replies,
Luis, Portugal

Now this is an interesting question. I would probably have to say
his biggest mistake was abandoning the Dominos before their (musical) time
was up. I've always thought they had the potential to be one the greatest
rock bands of all time.

In an effort to spice up more discussion.. Let's see if this is a good
topic. I have always been thinking about what has been Eric's biggest
mistake personally or professionally?
I think :
1. listening to the Band's Music from Big Pink was a big mistake, cause he
abandoned Gibsons, etc.
2. The fact that he hooked up with Simon Climie has been a mistake..
3. I think for better for worse. Leaving Mayall was a mistake, IMO
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Apurva, you sure like to stir things up.
1. I disagree, EC still plays Gibsons, occasionally. What it has done is
widen his range of guitars which widened his range of sounds. I have always
been and will always be amazed at what this man can do with six strings.
I'll bet he could even make a ukelele sound good.
2. I disagree, while Climie has definitely taken EC down a different
road, I personally think wa are richer for it. While I really enjoy all the
classic stuff, I have thoroughly enjoyed the last three CDs. They offer a
different side to EC. Again, they have widened EC's range or styles. If you
don't like the stuff, you can always opt to listen to his older music.
And if you'll listen to everything that EC has recorded since Backless
in order of their recording, you'll hear a subtle change in styles. The man
is about redefining himself over and over again. His personal journey and a
revelation of what that journey has meant to his life comes through every
one of his songs. His music is his autobiography. Even in the retro pieces
and compilations with others, he is giving tribute to those who influenced
him.
3. Well, I can't disagree but neither can I fully agree. My first love in
music is the blues. I have a Freddie King CD playing right now (of course
it's the one with EC on it, Staying' At Home With The Blues). EC is one heck
of a bluesman. He can make the blues guitar wail. If you happened to be
lucky enough to see the Nothing But The Blues tour, you know what I mean.
However, had EC stuck with Mayall, we probably wouldn't have such soul
wrenching pieces as Tears In Heaven, My Father's Eyes and Circus Left Town.
Not would we have one of the most beautiful love ballads ever written,
"Wonderful Tonight."
So from one perspective, I agree but from the larger perspective I
disagree.
IMO

As to Clapton's Address and which room he stays in: Everyone who's an EC fan
knows the answer to that one. It's the "White Room" of course.

I think its because attachments are just how some servers receive the
digest. My hotmail address comes as all one message, but I have the digest
also delivered to work and we just switch software from Groupwise (which
delivered the digest to me as separate messages, but there was a way so view
it as all one) to Microsoft Outlook (which delivers the Digest as separate
attachments and you have to view it that way.) I know what you all mean
now, its really annoying delivered separately like that.

While this may be an interesting topic, I'd hate to think anybody would
laser in on my past to scrutinize my "biggest mistake". Certainly we've all
made personal mistakes in our lives, and Eric is fallible -- just like me.
I'll pass on commenting regarding his personal decisions/actions.
Professionally speaking, I *wish* I'd made the "mistakes" Eric Clapton has
made in his life! I was just musing last night as I picked away on my
Martin EC signature guitar (Tears in Heaven) -- thinking "I wonder how
actually talented Eric thought himself to be when he struck out to be a
professional musician". I'm just an adequate player, and I entertain myself
more than my wife, or my kids, or my dog. I wondered if I could have held
my own, playing with Eric back in 1960. I am of the opinion that I might
have been able to swing it. Eric has worked his ass off to be the master he
is today. Nothing will start an argument faster than a couple of guitar
players discussing whether or not Eric lives up to his reputation.
Obviously, I think he does -- and more, but others are at the other end of
the spectrum. I happen to admire the fact that Eric has made more than "the
best" of his life professionally. I think his "adventures" have helped to
allow this occurrence.
...with apologies...
Mistakes, I've made a few. "But, it ain't nobody's business what I do."
