INTRODUCTION
This page is a tribute to the best
bluesguitarist in the world, a man with a guitar-touch so god like, and blues-right,
who during his 30 year long careere has contributed to some of the best songs
& lyrics in this century!
Eric Patric Clapton,
was born on 30th march 1945 in Ripley, England. He was raised by his grandparents
under the illusion that he was their own son. His biological mother was sent
out of the country shortly after he was born. She returned 12 years later pretending
to be his long lost sister, but EC found this hard to believe & it turned
his life into confusion. He entered the teens confused, angry and isolated with
one only reality
......... his love for music.

Gene Vincent, Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley were three of EC's biggest idols in the late 50's. But they soon became distant the minute he heard the big Robert Johnson. Now he had really found his soulmate and the blues was just around the corner.
