Like the raspy voice ...not bad for a pensioner !

To bring the EC interviews up to date and add a bit of EC history as well ... Here is an older EC talking about a new 2013 signature Les Paul ..the Harrison / Clapton guitar. A copy of the one that he played on "While My guitar Gently Weeps". But he talks about Marshalls and Fender twins a...
