a home video is released of conor claptons first birthday. The story is in several British Sunday papers, good example here, www.notw.co.uk but the video is silent (on my machine at least) pic quality and sound are better on the original source, here http://www.daphnebarak.com/.
Besides the obvious emotion, and the deep sadness in reflecting on these pictures, one of the most striking aspects of this was, for me , Claptons voice, whilst I like his voice, it never struck me as a particularly strong or resonant one, yet in the family group, all singing, "Happy Birthday", its EC's voice that carries much stronger and louder than anyone's.
Also another poigniant fact, it says in there that Conor wanted badly to immitate his father, one cant help wondering if, had things gone differently, it might have been a 20 year old conor on stage with his father on tour now, instead of maybe
Doyle or Derek
