Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover) is a family man cop who is about to
turn fifty. Cautious by nature, he is less than happy to be paired
with Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson) when he is assigned to investigate
Californian drug baron 'The General' (Mitchell Ryan). Following the
death of his wife, Riggs has become a manic loner who no longer
cares whether he lives or dies; an approach which causes more than
a few problems as he and Murtaugh attempt to bring the General to
justice.
‘These guitars have been really good tools; they’re not just
museum pieces. They all have a soul and they all come alive.’ –
Eric Clapton ‘In his own words, Clapton tells his story through
the history of his instruments.’ – Rolling Stone
In Six-String Stories Eric Clapton reflects on a
legendary career as told through the tools of his trade: his
guitars. Collected together here for the first time are the
instruments Clapton sold in three record-breaking auctions between
1999 and 2011 to benefit the Crossroads treatment centre he founded
in 1998. Featuring some of the most famous guitars ever played,
Clapton guides the reader through nearly 300 instruments as he
discusses their provenance, reveals insights about his own playing,
and shares anecdotes from each chapter of his spectacular life in
music. ‘One by one these guitars were the chapters of my life.
They belong to a very well-loved family.’ – Eric
Clapton Six-String Stories presents a ‘family tree’ that
makes connections between iconic instruments, such as Clapton’s
famous ‘Blackie’ Stratocaster, and previously unknown rarities,
placing them in the chronology of his career. Clapton recalls the
instruments he bought to emulate his heroes, the guitars with
unknown origins that became their own legend, the ones that never
left his side, and the legacy they left behind. Every piece has
been individually photographed, revealing every curve, detail and
scratch, while the work of over 80 of the world’s best rock
photographers shows the instruments in play. See Clapton’s
evolution from the psychedelic Sixties, through the stripped-back
Seventies, electric Eighties, and unplugged Nineties, right up to
the sale of the last guitar. ‘As an avid rock or blues fan, I
would look at all the pictures in this
book.’ – Eric Clapton Historical and technical
information for each piece in the collection – including
playlists and concert dates for those instruments used on records
and at public appearances – completes the story behind each
guitar. ‘The guitars are things of great
beauty.’ – Eric Clapton Â
Eric Clapton is far more than a rock star. Like Dylan and
McCartney, he is an icon and a living legend. He has sold tens of
millions of records, played sell-out concerts all over the world
and been central to the significant musical developments of his
era. His guitar playing has seen him hailed as 'God'. Now for the
first time, Eric tells the story of his personal and professional
journeys in this pungent, witty and painfully honest autobiography.
These are the memoirs of a survivor, someone who has reached the
pinnacle of success, who has had it all, but whose demons have
never left him. Eric tells his story as it is, hiding nothing, with
a directness and searing honesty that will make this book one of
the most compelling memoirs of our time.
""I found a pattern in my behavior that had been repeating
itself for years, decades even. Bad choices were my specialty, and
if something honest and decent came along, I would shun it or run
the other way."
"
With striking intimacy and candor, Eric Clapton tells the story of
his eventful and inspiring life in this poignant and honest
autobiography. More than a rock star, he is an icon, a living
embodiment of the history of rock music. Well known for his reserve
in a profession marked by self-promotion, flamboyance, and spin, he
now chronicles, for the first time, his remarkable personal and
professional journeys.
Born illegitimate in 1945 and raised by his grandparents, Eric
never knew his father and, until the age of nine, believed his
actual mother to be his sister. In his early teens his solace was
the guitar, and his incredible talent would make him a cult hero in
the clubs of Britain and inspire devoted fans to scrawl "Clapton is
God" on the walls of London's Underground. With the formation of
Cream, the world's first supergroup, he became a worldwide
superstar, but conflicting personalities tore the band apart within
two years. His stints in Blind Faith, in Delaney and Bonnie and
Friends, and in Derek and the Dominos were also short-lived but
yielded some of the most enduring songs in history, including the
classic "Layla."
During the late sixties he played as a guest with Jimi Hendrix and
Bob Dylan, as well as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and longtime
friend George Harrison. It was while working with the latter that
he fell for George's wife, Pattie Boyd, a seemingly unrequited love
that led him to the depths of despair, self-imposed seclusion, and
drug addiction. By the early seventies he had overcome his
addiction and released the bestselling album "461 Ocean Boulevard,"
with its massive hit "I Shot the Sheriff." He followed that with
the platinum album "Slowhand," which included "Wonderful Tonight,"
the touching love song to Pattie, whom he finally married at the
end of 1979. A short time later, however, Eric had replaced heroin
with alcohol as his preferred vice, following a pattern of behavior
that not only was detrimental to his music but contributed to the
eventual breakup of his marriage.
In the eighties he would battle and begin his recovery from
alcoholism and become a father. But just as his life was coming
together, he was struck by a terrible blow: His beloved
four-year-old son, Conor, died in a freak accident. At an earlier
time Eric might have coped with this tragedy by fleeing into a
world of addiction. But now a much stronger man, he took refuge in
music, responding with the achingly beautiful "Tears in
Heaven."
"Clapton" is the powerfully written story of a survivor, a man who
has achieved the pinnacle of success despite extraordinary demons.
It is one of the most compelling memoirs of our time.

(Piano/Vocal/Guitar Artist Songbook). Eric Clapton says this about

From early childhood singing in church to the rock 'n' roll
limelight of Derek and the Dominos, Bobby Whitlock launched a
musical journey still going to this day. Whitlock's life story does
more than share rock gossip about stars like Keith Moon, George
Harrison, and Eric Clapton, however. Whitlock examines his abusive
childhood, his experiences with Delaney and Bonnie, the music
industry, failed marriages, and drug addiction, and how the
star-studded lifestyle evolved into a peaceful partnership with his
wife and current musical partner.
inch....this work is likely to become a standart work very quickly
and is to be recommended to all schools where recorder studies are
undertaken inch. (Oliver James, Contact Magazine) A novel and
comprehensive approach to transferring from the C to F instrument.
430 music examples include folk and national songs (some in two
parts), country dance tunes and excerpts from the standard treble
repertoire ofBach, Barsanti, Corelli, Handel, Telemann, etc. An
outstanding feature of the book has proved to be Brian Bonsor's
brilliantly simple but highly effective practice circles and
recognition squares designed to give, in only a few minutes,
concentrated practice on the more usual leaps to and from each new
note and instant recognition of random notes. Quickly emulating the
outstanding success of the descant tutors, these books are very
popular even with those who normally use tutors other than the
Enjoy the Recorder series.
