[Slowhand] Re: Derek Eric etc

Bryan, I'm 100% with you a what you said.

The only exeption is that I have bought "Back Home" :-P . I try to buy 
every EC official release, at least for 'moral' concerning bootlegs. I 
feel more comfortable with collecting bootlegs if I have every record 
that can be bought officially (in a certain extend).

About Derek Trucks : he's actually living a great experience. He won't 
start to spoil it or darken the picture by saying negative stuffs or 
complain about it. More, making people excited to go and see them 
onstage  is a good thing for the musicians like him. They can feel the 
mood of the crowd and then themselves be even better.
And it is the same for us. Going to the shows with a positive attitude 
helps us to feel it good. And the oposite is true and it applies to 
everything in life. Mmmm, I'm starting to be  too philosophical ...

A least for me everything's fine. A week ago I just had a ticket for the 
Paris show, in a 15000 people indoor stadium. Not the greatest place for 
music. Today, I have a good seat in the RAH for the 26th, a ticket for a 
small venue the 27th for Derek Trucks band in Paris the day before EC 
and I will see Robert Cray live for the first time (twice :) ). And I 
will meet fellow slowhanders in London. How life could be better ? ... 
(a backstage pass maybe, but I can dream :-) ).

Be positives, it helps.
Eric.
