Somewhere here in my office I've got the printed program from the '99 Christie's auction, but of course I cant find it. I was almost certain that "Blackie" was sold then.

I saw Eric Clapton live in a small club outside of Chicago in 1968. It was the first American tour for Cream. It ruined me.... |
