Yes, because of Eric Clapton's love for the blues he was able to put himself in the right frame of mind to playing with much conviction, this guys is talented beyond words. (Not just from a technical aspect), hes one of the greatest songwriters Ive ever had the priviledge of listening to, he just has that certain flair to his music, (where you just have to pay attention to what hes doing. Like I said, its all about the little things that life has to offer, (and how we find a way to cope with our imediate reality.)Knowing that everything effects people differently, musicians (blues musicians) should be judged by their level of creativity, instead of who has suffered more.
