Eric Clapton reveals this week of his declining health

The King of Electric Guitar this week, Eric Clapton, announced to the news media that he is just about completely deaf from severe tinnitus and is suffering nerve damage to his hands that will in just a matter of time compromise his ability to play. When Clapton goes it will be the end of the Rock era as we know it.

Years ago, B.B.King was asked at a press conference who he thought was the greatest rock guitarist of all time, he replied,
"My personal opinion?..."Eric Clapton is the greatest rock and roll guitar player of all time." 1986

Clapton needs to live his life one day at a time (like we all should do).  And if that includes playing guitar that's fine, but it's OK if
he wants to put it down (sometimes) and do other things also.  There's always composing, or writing about what it was like when he was a kid listening to Robert Johnson.  He's done some nice stuff
over the years, And I never tire of hearing him play "Crossroads"- a perfect song if there is such a thing.
