[Slowhand] Slowhand Digest, Vol 23, Issue 5

[Greg Hilker]

Hallo Fred,
Facebook, Twitter and the other "social media" are also not an option for me. 
Maybe that has to do with our both being in Germany. Maybe that has to do with 
our age. Maybe that has to do with both. I check-out Where's Eric? from time to 
timebut otherwise rely on the Slowhand Digest to get heads-up about EC. But, you 
know, Clapton will be playing his only German concert this summer just a 30 
minute drive from my home in Mannheim, I knew about it in advance of tickets 
going on sale, and I decided NOT to buy tickets. The acoustics in the SAP Arena 
pretty much suck (I saw EC there the last time he was here) and there's no 
seating in the area in front of the stage; although, those tickets were the 
second-most expensive. Honestly, at 59 years-old and having seen Eric a number 
of times in my life, I don't need to shell-out a ton of money to stand 
shoulder-to-shoulder for over two hours.
Schöne Grüße,
Greg
Worms, Germany

Dear Scott, rare Slowhanders,

it really seems that the Slowhand Digest is quite dead, besides other reasons 
due to the more complicated procedure, now.
But the facebook link you sent, Raul, is not a good alternative, supposedly for 
some Slowhanders, who prefer their privacy, including myself.

I am a loose participant at clapton.de.
What is no good at that side (and was for some time on this one, too) is a load 
of gossip, thwart opion&discussion.

I had my tenth RAH visit last year, supposedly my last?
But it was a great first RAH weekend, perfect music&performance, at least on Sat.
My wife, older son with wife and daughter were with me that Sat. and for a great 
weekend in London, too.
AND I were sitting next box (supposedly F1 tycoon Ecclestone?s) to Melia with 
daughters (hence the performance?).

HENCE HIS quote:

    "staying at home with my family becomes more tempting as I grow older"

I pretty much can understand EC's position with his Three Little Girls (and wife 
Melia) - I am more than one year younger and
enjoy every minute my granddaughters of 13 and nearly five are around!
