You're only now noticing the pic?<br /><br />I've been meaning to slip in an actual pic (as opposed to the photo of my shadow) for awhile now. The original plan was to let a friend (who is a brilliant photographer) take a portrait, but I regret to say I've given up on that. So last week I set up the tripod and remote after I got home from work, and there you are--a photo that omits my pear-shape and splint (deceptive cropping, sorry). My Dad says the pic makes me look judicial. Anyway, yeah: that's me.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18275812152895151542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9112925820320944611.post-72440340757199806672009-06-22T14:09:22.319-06:002009-06-22T14:09:22.319-06:00Is that an actual photo of Eric in his avatar?

And to add to the related trivia, Pattie Boyd is the cute (sort of chipmunkish, but not in a bad way) blonde on the train in <i>A Hard Day's Night</i>.<br /><br />What Vince said about the organ; might I predictably lobby for Rick Wright's Farfisa organ work with Pink Floyd, as distinctive a part of the Floyd sound as David Gilmour's guitar? If you're wondering how organ seamlessly blends with trad. rock arrangements, it might be time to dust off <i>Dark Side Of The Moon</i> or <i>Animals</i> again.<br /><br />And then there's classic bits like Al Kooper's famous turn on Dylan's "Like A Rolling Stone." The organ, esp. a Hammond B3 played through a Leslie rotary speaker to give it that classic warble, is a distinctive part of late '60s and early '70s rock, and you really can't go wrong with it.<br /><br />Oh, and glad it was a great show!Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18275812152895151542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9112925820320944611.post-73855378538275308772009-06-22T11:56:20.563-06:002009-06-22T11:56:20.563-06:00Eric Clapton was the first concert I ever went to....Eric Clapton was the first concert I ever went to.

But in a good way. :-)<br /><br />"Layla" is definitely a Clapton song, as he wrote it about his love for Pattie Boyd, at the time married to George Harrison. I like the more melancholy acoustic version, but the original electric boogie version with the long piano-filled coda still remains my favorite.<br /><br />The organ can make a rock band. Listen to The Nice or Emmerson, Lake, and Palmer with Kieth Emerson on keyboards, or Windwood with the Spencer Davis Group and Traffic, or Doug Ingle with Iron Butterfly.<br /><br />Glad you enjoyed the concert.vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16955307244053931069noreply@blogger.com
