As I mentioned yesterday, this isn’t a true top ten list, because they aren’t in alphabetical order and top ten order. They also won’t be in chronological order as I travel. This one just has to show up today because this is...

Ten Songs My Mom Loved: Lay Down Sally (#7)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86575) • United States 31 Mar 19

My dear mother of blessed memory was born in 1932, so she wasn’t of the generation you’d tag as liking rock music of the 70s and 80s. But she had me, and I liked rock music of the 70s and 80s! She said I kept her young, and I...

Tears in Heaven

CarolDM @CarolDM (203396) • Nashville, Tennessee 25 Mar 19

This is one of many favorite songs. I enjoy many genres of music. Eric Clapton lost his 4 y/o son suddenly and wrote this song about him. I can sadly relate. And sometimes it soothes my soul to hear it. Other times I cannot listen...

DB @dgobucks226 (37621) 28 Apr 18

What a fabulous song to introduce some of my favorite L-themed lady hits. This song is about George Harrison's wife, Pattie. Clapton was seeing Pattie Harrison and deeply in love with her when he wrote this. The song was one...

rosyrose @vickyrose (2236) • Cooma, Australia 25 Nov 15

To follow on with my previous discussion, just recently I've read that Pattie Boyd married again at the age of 71 years old. I just admire how this woman just moved on and didn't stop from her failed relationships. I guess that...

Who do you think is the greatest rhythm guitarist?

vishalconvergys @vishalconvergys (157) • India 22 Oct 11

Jimi Hendrix is my favorite and i am little biased towards him. I am smitten by his skill in "voodoo child". Though i like BB King, Eric Clapton, Kirk, Jimmy Page as well. But blown away by Mr Hendrix. What do you think?

Which tonal character of Eric do you like; from SG or from the Strat?

Dax_Espinosa @Dax_Espinosa (8) • Philippines 26 Oct 10

Eric pioneered the "woman tone" with the SG in the 60's, but he is also one of the best Strat players out there. Either way, his style is very much recognizable. Anyway, what do you prefer; Eric on SG or Eric on...

It's been a long time ago, but my prom was fun. I went with my friend's older brother, who was also my friend. Our class prom song was Eric Clapton's 'Wonderful Tonight'. Do you have good memories of your prom?
