I have 3 Bradford pear trees and I planted them all one year ago, 1 of them is flowering and blooming very nicely and the other two have cracks in the trunk of the tree that you can see pretty far in to the tree.
The Yardbirdsâ manager, Giorgio Gomelsky, gave Eric Clapton the nickname âSlowhandâ in early 1964. The Yardbirds rhythm guitarist, Chris Dreja, recalled that whenever Eric Clapton broke a guitar string during a concert, Eric would stay on stage and replace it.
Eric Clapton is basically the only guitar player who influenced me â even though I don't sound like him. There was a basic simplicity to his playing, his style, his vibe and his sound. He took a Gibson guitar and plugged it into a Marshall, and that was it. The basics. The blues.
