A belated-happy birthday shout-out to rock legend Eric Clapton, who turned 75 on March 30. Clapton, whose musical career spans six decades, has had health issues in recent years that have limited his output in the studio and on the road. However, Slowhand is not one to hang up his Strat and call it a day. He is following the same path of his musical influences like Muddy Waters, B.B. King and Howlin’ Wolf, who all kept playing almost to the very end. Or, as Eric sang in his song “Blues Power”: just keep on keeping on.
