Music Monday

Last night I watched a 2 1/2 hour Eric Clapton concert . . . and I don't really even like Clapton all that much.

I do like Layla, both the original and newer acoustic version.  I have heard Clapton play the acoustic version a little slower and more soulfully than he does in this video, but both have the cool syncopation.  It sort of makes sense that the faster Layla is from Clapton's youth and the slower Layla is a product of his middle age.    

As an interesting side note, one of K's friends had a baby a few months ago and named her Layla after the title of one of Eric Clapton's most famous songs.  Pretty cool.
