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.
In his 2007 autobiography, Clapton recalled that the name Slowhand seemed to be hanging on to his real name, because it seemed to be well received by both his American friends and fans who think of the wild west when hearing the nickname.
