Talking loud and saying nothing?
I worked the same gigs as EC on several occasions, mainly with John Mayall and also with Cream.
On the Mayall front, the slant was very 'let's nick something from Mose Alison'
which everyone was doing at that time (Tony Knights Chessmen anyone?/ G. Fame etc etc)
Cream were very loud and too prog for my taste
but again, there was a lot of it about?
(I worked with Chris Squire - always thought he was more fun pre Mable Greer)
What he's done since the dawn of rock, I neither know nor care.
I have a copy of the CD with BB King, which gets the odd airing (as does my Mose Alison cd).
I always enjoyed working with EC in the early days, he was a nice guy and good musician.
........... End of?
