In the liner notes for Continuum, Mayer's latest album he thanks Clapton "who knows I steal from him as is still cool" or something to that effect. There is a lot of Clapton influence on Continuum, probably since there has been quite a few collaborations between the two since the Crossroads festival

<br>all month there has been a free concert of mayer's on direct tv on channel<br>100 and 334. the closing solo of the song "dancing in a burning room" sounds<br>just like EC to my ears. EC has always referenced the 3 kings, et al. in his
<br>solos, its nice to hear a young guy reference EC nowadays.....<br><br>out<br>sambo8<br><br><br><br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Slowhand mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Slowhand@planet-torque.com">
