Long before the birth of this here internet and the mp3 revolution that spawned the now endless availability of music 2 download, these guys (Eric Clapton & Steve Winwood, for anyone who’s new to the planet) were knocking out many pleasing sounds that still get a healthy amount of air time today.

Although it’s just not considered ‘cool’ these days, Clapton is still up there on my guitar hero list and I enjoy the occasional over-indulgent bending of notes on my old black and white Strat in homage.

Clapton has always had that look of being just a bit too into it when he performs, but this snap from his latest “See ‘em While They’re Still Standing” tour, puts me in mind of the agony I once saw on my dad’s face the moment his back gave out whilst carrying some heavy paving slabs. Is it all getting a bit much for Eric?
