Listening To Layla

Seven decades old today And years away from Cream, Eric Clapton, on guitar, Will always reign supreme. Listening to “Layla,” I’m amazed it sounds so fresh, Like the man himself were standing here Before me, in the flesh. A rocker keeps on rocking Often to the crowd’s lament But in Clapton’s case, quite clearly, Time has barely made a dent!
