Layla Eric Clapton Reaction - Music Teacher/ Bass Player Reacts

[@sherryheim5504]

This song is iconic and certainly an anthem from my youth. I am partial to the long version with Derrick and the Dominos but anytime I can hear Clapton, I am a happy girl. Thank you for this reaction. You are forgetting Delaney and Bonnie and Blind Faith.

[@JelaniStokes]

Yeah I always tend to enjoy the original versions too. And thank you for information assist!!!

i lost my hand in afghanistan, a few years after i got home i got lucky and bumped into clapton in the hotel my fiances family owned, i was working maintenance for them and bumped into him while changing a lightbulb, got talking to him and he even passed me up the new bulb. after 5-10 minutes of chatting i said "i cant play guitar anymore because of the hand" he looked at me with a calm but serious face and said "so? so what if your missing a hand, jeff healey had no eyes and his guitar riffs are unforgettable, just because your missing something important to playing guitar doesnt mean you cant" so i 3d printed an attachment for my prosthetic that could hold a pick, and ive been playing blues licks every chance i get lovely guy, each day while he was staying there he would pop by the staff room next to the reception and say good morning

WOW....Thank you soo much for sharing that story. That's amazing that Eric Clapton would share is love of music with you and tell you to keep on going despite your limitations. Music is so awesome. Thank you again for sharing!

@@JelaniStokes i just got lucky, although not as bad as america has it, over here the govenrment barely gives a crap about us veterans, i was lucky because i had a supportive fiance (now my amazing wife) who believed "limitations dont exist unless you want them to", an army buddy of mine lost 3 fingers on her writing hand (same explosion that took my hand, shrapnel that tore through my arm took her fingers), she ended up so depressed i had to drive over and stop her from stepping into a dual carriageway during rush hour. it was actually meeting clapton that really perked me up, i was already on the road to recovering mentally, but the talk i had with clapton while changing a lightbulb really perked me up, music really did save me, even named our daughter "erica" after him

Oh I LOVE the live versions of Heartbreak Hotel! My favorites are both from the Bad tour. The one from Wembley (as you stated) and the one from Yokohama. In fact I did a bass play a long with the Yokohama version.
