Here's another guy I'll miss. I'm proud to say I was there when he did this:
Do you have a Blues Breakers album with John Mayal and Eric Clapton?
Now there'e some music.
I long ago used to jam with friend and picked up some of it.
Now I'm old and never play.
Hey that could be a new blues song title.
Bill, do you play blues?

Very nice tribute. I didn't get to "the Concert", but in June of 2001 Matty & I went to see Clapton at the Garden. We took the kids (Dan was 18 and Charlotte was 16). When they introduced Billy Preston on keyboards, I freaked out along with everyone else. My kids understood why within a very short time. Life is too short...I'm glad I witnessed his genius live.
No comment, just go buy BB, live at the Regal. Trust me.

Posted by: Steve Schopp at June 7, 2006 04:09 PMWhenever I access your blog the youtube video starts playing the video without me doing anything to start the video. Not this is bad or anything. I really enjoyed it. I like the music better than the video. I had forgotten just how good Billy Preston's music is. Billy maybe gone and his music lives on. Thanks for making me remember.
Posted by: RT Howard at June 10, 2006 09:30 PMIt should not be doing that. It is set to come on only if one clicks the "play" button. At least when I use Internet Explorer, it works that way. Just for my information, which browser are you using?
Posted by: Jack Bog at June 11, 2006 02:03 AMIt's doing it for me in Firefox. I figured you were doing it to let City employees know when someone across the hall was accessing the blog.
Posted by: Chris Snethen at June 12, 2006 06:29 AMI'm using firefox and it's autoplaying for me as well. Other sites I go to use youtube and it doesn't autoplay for me so it must be your settings.
Posted by: andy at June 12, 2006 11:22 AMI was using a different service, but I've now switched to the YouTube version. I hope that stops the autoplay problem.
