if you listen to say the Dave Clarke Five covering John Lee Hooker songs you do start to understand how few people in the UK could do a convincing blues when the boom started and that they 'got it' rather than technical skill is where Clappo et al scored.
London in the 1960's must have been a great place, very few average members of the audience would have heard original Blues music, so Clapton etc must have sounded fantastic.
.....talking of which, BBC4 are repeating the original 80's drama tonight @10pm
I make no judgement about the man or his music but it's not like he's retired at 40 still surrounded by millions of expectant fans.
Peace.
He was drawn to people like Cale and The Band by their very lack of indulgence - he wanted to be more of a group-player than a soloist.
Feedback
In spite of being intensely jealous that you've met him, please accept a 'Wow' for loving the same (relatively) obscure piece of Clapton's playing.
May his hands continue to play!
