Don't do that to me! I love Eric and panicked for a moment that he had died!

Sorry Phoenix grin

I was trying to catch up with GN, look up the botanical name of Christmas Cactus (Schlumbergera !) and watch/listen to Eric at the same time. I wasn't at my most articulate. smile

Oh help!, I got a fright too expecting to read something I never want to read!

Still a huge Cream fan and anything else involving EC.

Sorry Kitty as well, and anyone else I've put in a state of shock. blush

Did anyone catch it?

Thinking about Clapton, how sad it was to say goodbye to the inimitable JJ Cale last July.

DH said this a repeat and that I watched it first time round blush I imagine I enjoyed it in that case. confused

Another one here who dreaded opening this thread! I was lucky to see him playing in BB King's club on Beale Street in Memphis a few years ago. The pair just wandered out unexpectedly and started playing. Doormen closed the club to more customers, who could hear them from out on the street, and we sat there with our mouths open! An amazing experience.
