It's been a wild week in the news with the Clapton/Winwood concert in
Houston, the Mark Sanford mess, and the deaths of Michael Jackson and
Farrah Fawcett as well as the tumult in Iran. I've had about enough of
politics for the week, also. So...a little rock & roll. The
concert this week got me breaking out old Clapton songs on iTunes, and
I thought you might enjoy another one of my favorite pieces.
Clapton put together a tribute to his friend, George Harrison, in 2002, exactly one year from George's death. He assembled a huge collection of friends, all of whom who had played with George at some time during his career, along with Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr the last 2 living Beatles. Clapton had played with George often, and a little known tidbit is that he actually played lead on the Beatles recording of While My Guitar Gently Weeps on the White Album in 1968. Fittingly, he played it during the Concert for George. Here it is for your enjoyment:
I'm on the road next week and will be posting from time to time. Have a great weekend.
