Oh yes!!
Can't wait to play it but too early to wake the sleepers of the household.
Eric plus assorted YB's used to sleep on our floor every Wednesday after their Eel Pie Island gig.
I'd stumble over them at some ungodly hour of the morning muttering - must be Wednesday, f'ing YB's again.
[actually by then it was already Thursday of course..]
Fast forward just about 40 years and an airline lady at JFK threatened to elope with me in the belief that I was Eric, incognito..

Oh, White Room! The first song I ever hyperventilted to to get high. While I was listening to songs such as I Wanna Be Bobby's Boy and Rain Drops and Gum Drops, something great was happening on the air in Cincinnati. There was a radio station that was owned by a single owner and it played classical music all day and night. But, the owner, who paid for the broadcasts out of his own pocket for his own pleasaure (no commercials) listened to his children and began playing the Jelly Pudding Hour on his station for an hour each weekday after us kids had gotten out of school. What a great world of music he opened up to me! Suddenly there was an "underground" music store in the hippie area around the University of Cincinnati and I was able to take my 1.99 to the store after paying 25 cents to ride the 25 miles, after hitchhiking 5 miles, to the record store and buy such things that were never thought of.

God bless the old man who owned that radio station on "Frog Mountain" in Price Hill and his kids who turned him onto something new and to the black musiicians of the 50's and early 60's who influenced the British who gave us a revolution in music which is ongoing and exciting to listen to.

The first time I saw Clapton play, he opened with White Room. I hadn't found my seat yet but I had found something so much more meaningful.
