I have been an Eric fan for many years. He is my #1 musician. There may me many faster and even better guitar players but no other can pick the perfect notes like him. There is such a sweetness in his lead, always blending majors with relative minor scales. He is simply like no other.

You are like none other, and this song is one of my favorites. Thanks for the memories and I truly hope you are blessed with many more talented years and that you continue to share your gift with us.

In the years when I lived in Dortmund, Eric Clapton three times gave a concert in the Westfalenhallen. So I rang up the telephonnumber which was undersigned at the advertisement. Everytime someone laughed loud at me, two times I heard the question what I would be thinking of when I had to phone. No tickets had been available the weeks before the concert happened.

it rips me up every time I hear it. He did his whole Pilgrim album a decade or so back... the tour was Reptile..the man was DOWN. He had a fairly big orchestra in the middle floor (circle stage, unusual..) LIKE IT SOUNDS HERE..DEVASTATINGLY BEAUTIFUL. Now that's when Chicago fans had the same respect that Eric is most charmed by in Japan.

It`s three miles to the river That would carry me away, And two miles to the dusty street That I saw you on today It`s four miles to my lonely room Where I will hide my face, And about half a mile to the downtown bar That I ran from in disgrace Lord, how long have I got to keep on running, Seven hours, seven days or seven years? All I know is, since you`ve been gone I feel like I`m drowning in a river, Drowning in a river of tears Drowning in a river Feel like I`m drowning, Drowning in a river In three more days, I`ll leave this town And disappear without a trace A year from now, maybe settle down Where no one knows my face I wish that I could hold you One more time to ease the pain But my time`s run out and I got to go Got to run away again Still I catch myself thinking, One day I`ll find my way back here You`ll save me from drowning, Drowning in a river, Drowning in a river of tears Drowning in a river Feels like I`m drowning, Drowning in the river. Lord, how long must this go on?

This coming Wednesday I get to attend my first Eric Clapton concert. This concert has been on (bucket) list of things I want to accomplish in my life time. Up until this coming week, I have only seen him in You Tube videos and DVD concerts. So I will be in the crowd at OKC's Chesapeake Energy Arena enjoying and soaking in the beautiful music of Eric Clapton.
