title: Eric Clapton

texts: harmony. I had gotten so tired of the virtuosity thing of long, boring guitar solo just because they were expected that it suited me well. Things were brought back into perspective by the Band.The song was the priority. "Eric Clapton and Friends" was the band's original name. A mistake was made when the band's name was mistakenly referred to as the Dominos. The band "Del and the Dominos" was supposed to be called after <mask>'s nickname "Del", according to his biography. The final name was "Derek and the Dominos". He became enamored with the wife of George Harrison after befriending her. When she rejected his advances, most of the Dominos' album was written about her.A key ingredient of the sound is the slide guitar of Allman. The band recorded a double album while working at Criteria Studios in Miami with Atlantic Records producer Tom Dowd. The hit love song "Layla" was inspired by the classical poet of Persian literature, Nizami Ganjavi's The Story of Layla and Majnun. The story of a young man who fell hopelessly in love with a beautiful, unavailable woman and went crazy because he couldn't marry her was moving. The first part of "Layla" was recorded first, and the second part was recorded a few weeks later, with Jim Gordon playing the piano for the melody. The Allman Brothers Band's guitarist, Duane Allman, was added to the five-piece version of the group. The Allmans were invited to an Allman Brothers outdoor concert in Miami by a few days into the Layla sessions.The two guitarists played all night in the studio and became friends after meeting on stage. The slide guitar was added to "Tell the Truth" and " Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out". The Dominos recorded "Key to the Highway", "Have You Ever LOVED a Woman" and "Why Does Love Got to be So Sad?" in four days. In September, the Dominos recorded "I Looked Away", "Bell Bottom Blues" and "Keep on Growing", as well as a gig with his own band. "I Am Yours", "Anyday" and "It's Too Late" were recorded by Allman. "Little Wing" and the title track were recorded in September. "It's Too Late" was recorded the next day.The group's brief career was marred by tragedy. The band had cut a cover of "Little Wing" eight days before Jimi Hendrix's death. One day before Hendrix's death, <mask> purchased a left-handed guitar that he was going to give to Hendrix as a birthday gift. When it was released, Layla received onlylukewarm reviews. The group went on a US tour without Allman. The live double album In Concert was released despite the tour taking place amidst a lot of drugs and alcohol. Recording of a second Dominos studio album was underway when a clash of egos took place and the group was dissolved.Allman died in a motorcycle accident. He talked about Allman as the "musical brother I'd never had but wished I did" in his book. It wasn't until 2003 that the two of them appeared together again, despite the fact that Radle died from the effects of alcohol and narcotics in 1980. Jim Gordon, the drummer for the Dominos, was killed by his mother during a psychotic episode after being diagnosed with a mental illness. Gordon was confined to 16-years-to-life imprisonment and later moved to a mental institution. The struggles he faced in his personal life, which was troubled by romantic longings and drug and alcohol addiction, were in stark contrast to his career successes in the 1970s. As the Dominos broke up, he withdrew from recording and touring to isolation in his home as he was torn by his friendship with Harrison.He nursed a heroin addiction, which resulted in a lengthy career hiatus interrupted only by performing at Harrison's Concert for Bangladesh benefit shows in New York in August 1971; there, he passed out on stage, was revived, and finished his performance. In January 1973, Pete Townshend of the Who organised a concert for <mask> at London's Rainbow Theatre to help him kick his addiction. Ken Russell's film version of the Who's Tommy featured a performance by <mask>. His appearance in the film is notable as he is clearly wearing a fake beard in some shots, the result of deciding to shave off his real beard after the initial takes in an attempt to force the director to remove his earlier scene from the film. Although he began to drink heavily, he was no longer using heroin in 1974. He assembled a low-key touring band that included George Terry, keyboardist Dick Sims, drummer Jamie Oldaker, and vocalist Yvonne Elliman. The cover version of "I Shot the Sheriff" was the first number one hit for the band and was important in bringing the music of Bob Marley to a wider audience.This trend continued with the 1975 album There's One in Every Crowd. The album's original title, The World's Greatest Guitar Player (There's One in Every Crowd), was changed before pressing, as it was felt its ironic intention would be misinterpreted. The band released a live album in 1975. The musician continued to tour and release albums. Slowhand, which contained "Wonderful Tonight" and a second J. J. Cale cover, "Cocaine", was one of the highlights of the period. He was one of the notable guests at the farewell performance of The Band that was filmed in a Martin Scorsese documentary. The Secret Policeman's Other Ball in London was hosted by producer Martin Lewis and featured a performance by <mask>.Jeff Beck and <mask> performed a series of duets on stage for the first time. Three of the performances were released on the album of the show, and one of the songs appeared in the film. In the new decade, the performances at London's Drury Lane theatre heralded a return to form and prominence for <mask>. He had converted to Christianity prior to his heroin addiction and many factors had influenced his comeback. In January 1982, after calling his manager and admitting he was an alcoholic, he flew to Minneapolis–Saint Paul and checked in at Hazelden Treatment Center, located in Center City, Minnesota. On the flight over, he had a lot of drinks for fear he wouldn't be able to drink again. It was recommended by doctors of Hazelden that <mask> not partake in any activities that would act astriggers for his alcoholism or stress after he was discharged.It did happen. In November 1987, he would return to the Hazelden Treatment Center. He has been sober ever since. After being discharged from his first rehab, <mask> began working on his next album against doctors' orders. Money and Cigarettes was the most forced album to date, he thought. "Because that's all I saw myself having left after my first rehabilitation from alcoholism, I chose the name of the album," he said. He performed on Roger Waters' solo album The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking in 1984.Waters and <mask> have a close relationship. They performed for a charity in 2005. They performed at the Highclere Castle in 2006 in aid of the Countryside Alliance. The Live Aid concert was held at John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia on July 13, 1985 and featured Phil Collins, Tim Renwick, Chris Stainton and Jamie Oldaker. He was flattered when he was offered a slot close to peak viewing hours. His album output continued in the 1980s, including two produced with Phil Collins, Behind the Sun, and August. August was suffused with Collins's trademark drum and horn sound, and became <mask>'s biggest seller in the UK to date, matching his highest chart position.The album's first song, "It's in the Way That You Use It", was used in the film The Color of Money. The horn-driven "Run" echoed Collins' "Sussudio" and other work, while "Tearing Us Apart" (with Tina Turner) and "Miss You" continued <mask>'s more angry sound. The two-year period of touring with Collins and Nathan East began with this rebound. The band recorded two concert videos while on tour in August. Collins and Steve Winwood's songs were also used in a promotional track for theMichelob beer brand. The British Academy Television Award was won by <mask> for his score for Edge of Darkness. The Outstanding Contribution to Music prize was awarded at the 1987 Brit Awards.He played on George Harrison's album Cloud Nine, as well as contributing guitar to "That's What It Takes", "Devil's Radio" and "Wreck of the Hesperus". They got together for charity. The Bunburys recorded a charity album with the proceeds going to the Bunbury Cricket Club, which plays exhibition cricket matches to raise money for nonprofits in England. "We're the Bunburys", "Bunbury Afternoon" and "Fight (No Matter How Long)" were recorded by The Bunburys. The last song on the Summer Olympics album went to No. There is a rock music chart. The cricket club held its 25th anniversary celebrations in London in 2011.He played at the Nelson Mandela 70th Birthday Tribute at Wembley Stadium and the Prince's Trust rock concert at the Royal Albert Hall.

The records sounded different. <mask> was one of the British cultural icons selected to appear in a new version of the Beatles' Sgt. To celebrate the British cultural figures of his life that he most admires to mark his 80th birthday, Pepper chose the cover of his band's album. A promiscuous sideman whose monklike aura has never diminished his extravagant appetites, <mask> likes to get paid, and he's amassed a discography that for an artist of his caliber is remarkably undistinguished. He's a guitar hero's disease, like many other guys, and he's a casual tunesmith.

It is described as "thick yet piercing, overdriven yet smooth, distorted yet creamy". The tone is achieved by a combination of tone control settings on the guitars. The opening riffs and solo of "Sunshine of Your Love" are the best illustrations of full-blown woman tone, according to Vintage Guitar magazine. Before Cream's first US appearance in 1967, Bruce's Fender VI, and Baker's drum head were all re-painted by the visual art collective known as the Fool. The 1964 Cherry-Red Gibson ES-335 was used again by the musician in 1968.The 1964 ES-335 had a long career.

title: Eric Clapton

texts: late in 1969. I had a lot of influences when I started playing the guitar.The first two were Buddy Holly and Buddy Guy. Hank Marvin was the first person in England to use one, but that wasn't my kind of music. I thought if Steve Winwood could do it, I could do it. In 1973, "Brownie" became the backup to "Blackie", the most famous of <mask>'s guitars. While on tour with the Dominos, <mask> bought six guitars from the Sho-bud guitar shop in Nashville, Tennessee. George Harrison, Steve Winwood, and Pete Townshend were given one each. "Blackie" was his favourite stage guitar until it was retired in 1985.The first time it was played live was in 1973. The "mongrel" was the 1956/57 Strat. The sale of "Blackie" at Christie's Auction House in New York in 2004 raised US$959,500 for the Crossroads Centre for drug and alcohol addictions. The Experience Music Project has "Brownie" on display. A limited run of 275 'Blackie' replicas, correct in every detail right down to the 'Duck Brothers' flight case, have been produced by the Fender Custom Shop. After the model's release, one was presented to <mask> and he used it for three numbers during a concert at the Royal Albert Hall. The Hard Rock Cafe in London received a signed guitar from <mask> in 1979.Pete Townshend gave his own guitar, with a note that said, "Mine's as good as his!" Love, Pete. The guitars in <mask>'s name are made by C.F. and Fender. The company is called Martin & Company. <mask>'s signature guitar was introduced in 1988. Martin made several signature-model 000-sized acoustic guitars. In 1995 there was a limited edition 000-42EC <mask> signature model.He gave guitarist Paul Wassif a Martin 000-28 EC Eric Clapton signature model after using it for the single "Change the World" and the album Pilgrim.

title: Matthew Prior

texts: <mask> was an English poet and diplomat. He is a contributor to The Examiner. <mask> was probably born in the area. He was the son of a nonconformist joiner. His father moved to London and sent him to school. He left school and was cared for by his uncle after his father's death. Lord Dorset found him reading a book and set him to translate it.The Earl offered to contribute to the continuation of his education because he did so well. The 1st Earl of Halifax was one of his schoolfellows. <mask> accepted a scholarship at St John's College in Cambridge against his patron's wishes to avoid being separated from Montagu and James. He was able to take his B.A. Two years later, I became a fellow. The City Mouse and Country Mouse was written in honor of John Dryden's The Hind and the Panther. It was a time when satirists could be sure of promotion and patronage.Three years later, <mask> became the secretary to the embassy in the Netherlands. He was appointed a Gentleman of the Bedchamber after four years. He was one of the King's secretaries, and in 1697 he was the secretary to the plenipotentiaries. Pope doubted <mask>'s talent for affairs, but it is not likely that King William would have hired a man who had not given proof of diplomatic skill and grasp of details. The poet's knowledge of French was mentioned in his qualifications and he was sent to Paris in attendance of the English ambassador. <mask> said that he had business enough upon his hands, and was only a poet by accident. To verse, however, which laid the foundation of his fortunes, he still occasionally trusted as a means of maintaining his position.During this period, he wrote an elegy on Queen Mary in 1695, a satirical version of Ode sur le prise de Namur, some lines on William's escape from assassination, and a brief piece called The Secretary. <mask> succeeded John Locke as a commissioner of trade after he returned from France. He was in Parliament for East Grinstead. He allied himself with Robert Harley and St John immediately after Anne's accession, even though he had been in William's confidence with regard to the Partition Treaty. There is no mention of his name in connection with public transactions for nine years. When the Tories came into power in 1710, <mask>'s diplomatic abilities were again called into action, and until the death of Anne he held a prominent place in all negotiations with the French court, sometimes as secret agent, sometimes in an equivocal position as ambassador's companion and sometimes as The Treaty of Utrecht was nicknamed "Matt's Peace" because of his share in negotiating it.<mask> is a contributor to The Examiner newspaper. When the Queen died and the Whigs regained power, he was kept in close custody for two years. He published a collection of verse in 1709 He wrote his longest humorous poem during this imprisonment, which was called The Progress of the Mind. Solomon and other Poems on several Occasions were published by subscription in 1718. He did not long survive his enforced retirement from public life because of the amount of money received for this volume, but he bore his ups and downs with rare equanimity. His monument may be seen in Poets' Corner, but he died at a seat of the Earl of Oxford and was buried there.J Bancks issued a History of his Own Time. It is questionable how far the book should be seen as authentic. <mask>'s poems have variety, a pleasant scholarship, and a great executive skill. The most ambitious. Solomon and The Nut-Brown Maid are the least successful. While <mask>'s mastery of the octo-syllabic couplet is greater than that of Jonathan Swift or Pope, his imitation of SamuelButler is a delightful piece of stray easy humour, full of witty turns and well-remembered allusions. His tales in rhyme, which are often objectionable in their themes, are excellent examples of narrative skill.The majority of his love songs are frigid and academic, but in familiar or playful efforts, of which type are the admirable lines To a Child of Quality, he has still no rival. "<mask>'s", says Thackeray, himself no mean proficient in this kind, "seem to me amongst the easiest, the richest, the most charmingly humorous of English lyrical poems." His song, his philosophy, his good sense, his happy easy turns and melody, his loves and his epicureanism are all very similar to that most delightful and accomplished master. A plaque commemorates the location where <mask> wrote Henry and Emma. <mask> is remembered by other poets as a significant influence and source of inspiration. <mask>'s life, works, essays, study resources, and complete correspondence can be found at the Eighteenth-Century Poetry Archive.

title: Johan Arnold Smellekamp

texts: The Dutch man who pioneered trade with the Voortrekker states in South Africa and later became a civil servant, politician and law agent in the Orange Free State was named <mask>mp. Jan Hendrik Smellekamp was the son of <mask>. Maria Grlach was married to Smellekamp. He married Hillegonda Sara Wilvinger, the daughter of <mask> and Hendrika Wassenaar, in Zaandam on December 8, 1852. There were three daughters and a son of Smellekamp. The Amsterdam trading company of J.A. employed Smellekamp to trade with South Africa. The company is under the direction of G.G.Ohrig. The Voortrekkers established the Natalia Republic two years before he made his first voyage to Port Natal. The British were prepared to occupy Port Natal at the time of Smellekamp's arrival. They went to Pietermaritzburg to meet with the Volksraad of Natalia. They were well received by the population. The street was decorated with flags and underwear. The people of Natalia thought Smellekamp's arrival heralded a full-scale intervention by the Netherlands.Smellekamp enjoyed his sudden importance and did nothing to correct the impression. The Volksraad put in a request for immigrants to strengthen the state and gave some promises about trade in the future. If Britain were to annex the Voortrekker territory, the Volksraad would offer Natal as a colonial possession to William II of the Netherlands. Smellekamp went back to the Netherlands via Cape Town. He was arrested at Swellendam because he didn't have the proper travel documents. In the meantime, the British government started official correspondence with the Dutch government about Smellekamp's activities in Natal. King William II apologized to White Hall for the affray caused by Smellekamp and his activities after rejecting the proposed connection between the Netherlands and the Voortrekkers of Natal.After being refused entry into Port Natal by the British, Smellekamp was forced to go to Delagoa Bay. The leader of the Potchefstroom-Winburg Republic visited Delagoa Bay in the winter of 1844 in order to get a free passage to the sea. He was advised by Smellekamp to move his people north of the 26th degree of latitude, and to trade freely with Dutch traders. Potgieter and a group of Voortrekkers from the former Natalia Republic moved to the North-East Transvaal. After two years in Southern and East Africa, Smellekamp returned to the Netherlands. He argued with his boss about the best way to bring trade to South Africa. Director Ohrig was against this idea from the point of view of the trading company.Three more trips to South Africa were made by Smellekamp. He established himself in the Transvaal in February 1854 after moving to South Africa in the final voyage. After arriving in Lydenburg, Smellekamp fell out with the Dutch minister. The general synod of the Dutch Reformed church in Rustenburg was attended by Dirk van der Hoff of Potchefstroom. After losing, Smellekamp was censured by the church and fined by the Volksraad. He published a rebuttal to the accusations against him in Cape Town. His banishment did not deter Smellekamp from his new engagement with the Boer republics.He moved to the Orange Free State where he was appointed Landdrost. <mask>'s volatile character triggered a conflict with State President Boshoff, and a short but venomous correspondence between the two men. The result was that Smellekamp was dismissed. A real political controversy about the international position of the state was the basis of the conflict. Government Secretary Groenendaal stood by his side. The mission of the Dutch envoy to present a flag and coat of arms of the Orange Free State to the government was controversial. He hesitated to receive Hiddingh in an official capacity because he was very cautious in order to not offend the British government.Groenendaal and Smellekamp started a press offensive against Boshoff in newspapers in both Bloemfontein and Cape Town, so strongly condemning him for his actions that the latter had no choice but to dismiss both. Smellekamp settled as a licensed law agent after his dismissal. The relationship between Smellekamp and the President did not improve, and Smellekamp was against him until he retired from office. In the Orange Free State, Smellekamp was not unpopular. He was elected to the Volksraad for the constituency of Ladysmith in 1863. He was a member of the Volksraad until his death. The governing master of the Union Lodge was Smellekamp.Smellekamp had a restless and irascible personality. It hampered his walk through life and made him many enemies. His influence on the formation of the Boer republics in the hinterland of the Cape Colony was considerable. Without him, the Dutch interest in the Voortrekker movement and the fate of the 'Boer kinsmen' would not have arisen in the way they did. Despite his volatile character, Smellekamp had a good feeling for the necessity to build up a national consciousness in the new republics, necessary for their survival in the face of many internal and external challenges. He was seen as spreading the interests of the Dutch in the Orange Free State, but only up to a point. A strong alliance with the Netherlands against continued British imperial ambitions was a helpful instrument in Smellemap's view of building a new identity.The national anthem was written by H.A.L. The Volksraad accepted Hamelberg as such on February 24, 1866. The widespread and free distribution of the anthem among the burghers of the Orange Free State was done by the Governing Master of the Union Lodge Smellekamp. Jan Willem Spruyt is a member of the Orange Free State Businesspeople from Amsterdam.
