God doesn't need to know what time it is.


Value of anything is a most fascinating subject to me.

Eric Clapton hasn't owned this  Rolex Daytona for nearly 20 years. It 's probably been in storage since he dumped it and is expected to fetch north of $1.6M?

For that much I'd want his playing ability AND his stereo system.

Thanks everybody for the feedback about my watch. I'll look in to having it serviced. I'm still wearing it daily and it is in great shape overall. I don't have any intention of getting rid of it. I just had this idea in my head that it that it was a zero maintenance forever device, which is a ridiculous notion but I get those now and then. I also have an Elgin pocket watch that was my great uncle's. I'm guessing it was old when he got it. I never met him. It dates to the late 1800s and still keeps good time. It was gold plated brass I think. The gold has been largely worn off around the edges. It's fun to play with because the back is easily unscrewed and there's an arm that can be moved to adjust it if it's running slow or fast.

@tablejockey  I know that Ralph wasn't playing the guitar. I was just referring to the character he played  in the movie.  Ralph did do a good job considering the short time he had to learn the air guitar parts for the movie. 

Your link to Arlen Roth's website was very interesting.  I've got a cd or two of his around here somewhere and I actually saw Son Thomas play at The Tucson Blues Festival some years ago.  He was great.  The power, not volume, power, coming off that stage produced by one man with an acoustic guitar was incredible.

This is the third Clapton-related thread in a couple weeks.

Sheesh. 
You guys are aware he is a culturally-appropriating, virulent racist, right?

I dont like particularly Clapton, but oufff i dont like your virtue signaling post at all...

I am sure you cannot guess why....

Call me a " racist" it is way easier for your brain working .. 😁😊

I will side here with the "culturally appropriating" Clapton... Even if i dont listen his music at all...

Ralph had one heck of learning experience-

Too bad Ralph didn't have the drive to stay with the guitar. He possibly could have developed into a decent player.

Lessons equal to that would cost a fortune! His posture was pretty convincing in some of those some of the scenes. Fun movie

That is the sign of a good player. Holding an audience captive with just an acoustic is a gift.
