Really, when I was a teen I hung out with a bunch of guys. Long Island Jews, but all in search of the perfect Clapton chord. He is one of my idols even now.
He is the greatest!!
Yes, I am. The thing that I like about Clapton is that he has evolved and now his greatest quality is the pureness of his tone. His love of the old blues greats shines through and I think now, that his own style puts him up there with BB King, Albert King, Buddy Guy, etc.
This, I think, puts Clapton into context when it comes to really great blues and jazz guys but at least shows that he can fit in with them.
Wynton Marsalis and Clapton - A Closer Walk With Thee.

Yes I am.
I don't get why Long Island Jews shouldn't be Clapton fans .... ???? I have even known Alabama Baptists who listen to him! 
I started liking him once I got over his taking Patty from George, who I think was better off with Olivia in the long run.
I think this was the first song I ever heard by him. Some memory of walking home one night at college, waring bell bottoms ...

Clapton is amazing. Definitely on my Spotify list of artists. Recently saved a live concert he did at Madison Square Garden. Really good.

He is amazing . I saw him live in Memphis a dozen or so years ago and it was indeed a very good show.
I saw him at Blossom about 10 years ago or so. It was a great concert.
I am listening to this concert now. I didn't make it as a video for those who want to hear and watch the entire concert:

My brother did it to me...Clapton and my brother's monster amps in the basement. I knew " In the White Room" before Mother Goose.

A friend of mine surprised me when Eric came to Jacksonville Fl. She got us front row tickets to his concert. It was amazing as his hands glided
over the strings with ease. He did a set with the band ,then by himself,then with the band again.AMAZING performer, guitarist an entertainer.
