This reminds me of the story about in the 60s, England's music scene was trying to hail Clapton as the best blue artist/guitarist in the whole wide modern world while the likes of Muddy Waters, Lightening Hopkins, Buddy Guy, Albert King, BB King, Albert Collins and others were still alive and playing over here in the United States. But it was Hendrix, at that time a no-name, who went over there and scared Claption almost to death.
I’m sorry, but when I mentioned the Hendrix/Clapton incident, I couldn’t stop thinking about it, it’s so funny. You have to remember, Clapton was so godlike that Jimi wasn’t allowed to ‘play’ with him. So he played with Cream – minus Clapton. Clapton just stood there, strapped up, ready to come in and clean up ‘after’ Jimi finish messing up the set.
