Eric Clapton is coming up

After "Guitar Man" by Bread, Jeff Rollins said a guitar man is coming up, but he's going to sing.

I don't know if he did. My kitchen clock radio comes on at 8:30 and this was shortly before 10. My station doesn't usually air commercials at 9:50 but today it did. Somehow I doubt Jeff would announce a song coming up during that break since a lot of stations don't play what's on then. There was a news break at 10. Again, I doubt he would do it for a song aired then, since a lot of stations have news. At 10:25 the clock radio had cut itself off and I still hadn't heard anything that I believe was Eric Clapton.

Has he done anything that would be considered a standard? The last song I heard was a true standard and it might possibly have been him, but Jeff does not mention songs or who did them unless they just finished playing or are starting, and this would not have been the last song before Jeff started talking again. Carl Hampton will tell us all three songs that were just played, if there were three, or both if there were two.

"Tears in Heaven" would fit the format even though it's not a true standard, but like I said I didn't hear it. The newer version of "Layla" is iffy.
 
Clapton's version of "Autumn Leaves" is in rotation on WW Adult Standards (Dial Global). They also briefly had his version of "Love Is Here to Stay" (from a separate album) on the playlist.

Oh, he's the one doing "Autumn Leaves". I looked for a new version of that and couldn't find anything online.

Yeah, that's a good one. Not in a league with Roger Williams, but it is good.
 
I heard the Roger Williams version the other day, but I haven't heard Eric Clapton's lately.

On a related note, in a movie I heard a great version on "Sunshine of Your Love" that really should be on America's Best Music, but it's by Ella Fitzgerald and I can't say they've ever played her.
 
So is this the best thread in which to note the passing of Jack Bruce?

Hell no! Bruce is famous for playing Classic Rock. He was also an incredible jazz bassist, but that only earned him incredible amounts of respect from those who know jazz. It didn't earn him general fame.

I did not know he did jazz. Of course, I never heard of the man when he was alive ...
