I’m reading his auto-bio right now – it is downright one of the best auto’s I’ve read – and I have been building a brilliant music library collection for some years. According to him – it was less him and Winwood getting along but more of his lack of interest in what BF were doing – and Delaney & Bonnie capturing his attention and wanting to release the UK version of what The Band was doing at that time. . . .

That live Crossroads is an Allman-less Dominos, correct?

Blind Faith was one of the first concerts I ever attended. It’s a shame that Clapton and Winwood didn’t get along – they made great music together.

oooo speaking of, did anyone catch on KPBS, they aired two weeks ago Blind Faith in concert, Live in some New York park? It was pretty rad, and Eric’s playing was phenominal ! He was cross-pickin’ in one song, makin’ this huge sound with just one guitar, nevermind the rythm guitarist, but man I was blown. So who was god Jimi or Eric?

If you listen to Howlin’ Wolf or Junior Wells it’s amazing how close that music is to the stuff made in Britain a few years later. By that time you had blues bands, Wells had Buddy Guy on guitar, with set-ups similar to rock ‘n’ roll combos. It’s not just that The Yardbirds were covering “Good Morning Little Schoolgirl,” they were really learning a new way to write and perform songs.

He actually does have a son that plays guitar I believe he said this on the Larry King interview
