Eric Clapton Birthday Tribute! Watch NOW!

Please join me in wishing Eric Clapton a big "Happy Birthday" today.  When I saw Eric Clapton and Cream as a kid, it changed everything for me.  White Room was one of my favorites with Eric's amazing tone and melodic technique with a Wah-Wah on full display.   I wanted to pay tribute to the master on his birthday staying as close to his original recording as possible using my 1965 Gibson SG and vintage 1969 Vox Wah-Wah.   Please enjoy & SHARE!  Thank you for your inspiration, Eric!

Walter Watson handled the vocals and drums on this recording and I played guitar and bass.  It is available as a never before released bonus track on The Essential Rocky Athas - Volume I

Music Monday! Watch Now!

When I saw Eric Clapton and Cream as a kid, it changed everything for me.  Thank you, ERIC CLAPTON!  White Room was one of my favorites and here is my version played on my 1965 Gibson SG with Walter Watson nailing the vocals and drums!  

Working in the studio with Walter was a lot of fun...just the two of us capturing our influences and experimenting.  For kicks, after playing my beloved 1965 SG, pictured below, I even played bass!  You can get your copy HERE.
