<p class=MsoNormal>The man’s name is nowhere to be found on the credits of
Crossroads Guitar Festival 2007. Is this an indication that Eric no longer
needs him? Is this a cause for celebration among TRUE Clapton fans?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Also noted that Doyle Bramhall II was one of the people
responsible for EC’s concert mix. Can he be blamed therefore for the
mess-up on EC’s guitar part on “Why Does Love Got to be So Sad?”
Will he become the next Clapton associate to be lambasted for Eric’s
diminishing guitar role? I, for one, am all for the haunting incidental music
he wrote and performed on the CGF 2007 soundtrack.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>One more thing, for those of us who at times wish Eric would
do something with his hair each year, as was the norm in days gone by, he
looked positively awful when he was wearing Bill Murray’s wig. Just think
of it, he’d have to wear sunglasses too – like Jeff Beck.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Wonder if we can blame Simon Climie for Eric’s
practical hairstyle? Time will no doubt tell.<o:p></o:p></p>
