I guess because I graduated high school in 1976 I’m biased. But there has never been another decade like the 70’s for the greatest music.

I recall seeing Eric Clapner in concert in 1976, talk about coming of age. Listening to him play Layla, it was like magic.

Layla. Original version. Still my favorite song ever. The piano riff still sends shivers down my spine.

Years later I read the backstory on Layla.

Harrison never held this against Clapton.

“I recall seeing Eric Clapner in concert in 1976”

Ha! I still want to say Eric Clapner but most people don’t get the joke. Then I have to explain it to them.

LOL - “Eric Clapner”: Surgeon General Jocelyn Elders, the dizziest SG until “Rachel” Levine.
