Clapton joined his first band at 17 and stayed with this band - the early British R&B outfit The Roosters - from January through to August 1963. Clapton did a seven-gig stint with Casey Jones and the Engineers in October 1963[7]
[edit] The Yardbirds & the Bluesbreakers
Clapton joined The Yardbirds, a blues-influenced rock and roll band in 1963 and stayed with them until March 1965. Synthesising influences from Chicago blues and leading blues guitarists such as Buddy Guy, Freddie King and B.B. King, Clapton forged a distinctive style and rapidly became one of the most talked-about guitarists in the British music scene.[8] The band initially played Chess/Checker/Vee-Jay blues numbers and began to attract a large cult following when they took over the Rolling Stones‘ residency at the Crawdaddy Club in Richmond. They toured England with American bluesman Sonny Boy Williamson II; a joint LP, recorded in December 1963, was issued belatedly under both their names in 1965. In March 1965, just as Clapton left the band, the Yardbirds had their first major hit, on which Clapton played guitar: “For Your Love.”
It was during his time with the Yardbirds that Clapton acquired the nickname “Slowhand”. Whenever he broke a guitar string on stage he would immediately replace it himself; British audiences would respond with slow hand claps until he was finished and ready to play again. Inspired by this, and also in ironic reference to Clapton’s ‘fast’ playing, the Yardbirds’ manager Giorgio Gomelsky christened him “Slowhand” Clapton. [9]
Still obstinately dedicated to blues music, Clapton was strongly offended by the Yardbirds’ new pop-oriented direction, partly because “For Your Love” had been written by pop songwriter-for-hire Graham Gouldman, who had also written hits for teen pop outfit Herman’s Hermits and harmony pop band The Hollies. Clapton recommended fellow guitarist Jimmy Page as his replacement, but Page was at that time unwilling to relinquish his lucrative career as a freelance studio musician, so Page in turn recommended Clapton’s successor, Jeff Beck.[10] While Beck and Page played together in the Yardbirds, the trio of Beck, Page, and Clapton were never in the group together. However, the trio did appear on the 12-date benefit tour for Action for Research into Multiple Sclerosis, as well as on the rare blues album Guitar Boogie, but not all on the same tracks.
Clapton joined John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers in April 1965.His passionate playing in nightclubs — and on the immensely influential album, Blues Breakers — established Clapton’s name worldwide as a blues guitarist. With his 1960 Gibson Les Paul Standard guitar and Marshall amplifier, Clapton’s playing by then had inspired a well-publicised graffito that deified him with the famous slogan “Clapton is God”. The phrase was spray-painted by an admirer on a wall in an Islington Underground station in the autumn of 1967. The graffito was captured in a now-famous photograph, in which a dog is urinating on the wall. Clapton is well reported to have been embarrassed by the slogan, saying in The South Bank Show profile of him made in 1987, “I never accepted that I was the greatest guitar player in the world. I always wanted to be the greatest guitar player in the world, but that’s an ideal, and I accept it as an ideal.” Contrary to a popular myth (perpetuated by, amongst others, the South Bank Show programme itself), “Clapton is God” slogans did not appear all over the place but only on that wall.[11]
[edit] Cream
Clapton left the Bluesbreakers in July, 1966 (to be replaced by Peter Green) and then formed Cream, one of the earliest supergroups. Cream was also one of the earliest “power trios“, with Jack Bruce on bass (also of Manfred Mann, the Bluesbreakers and the Graham Bond Organisation) and Ginger Baker on drums (another member of the GBO). Before the formation of Cream, Clapton was all but unknown in the United States; he left The Yardbirds before “For Your Love” hit the American Top Ten, and had yet to perform there.[12][13] During his time with Cream, Clapton began to develop as a singer and songwriter, as well as guitarist, though Bruce took most of the lead vocals and wrote the majority of the material with lyricist Pete Brown.[14] Cream’s first gig was an unofficial performance at the Twisted Wheel in Manchester on 29 July 1966 before their full debut two nights later at the National Jazz and Blues Festival in Windsor. Cream established an enduring legend on the high-volume blues jamming and extended solos of their live shows, while their studio work was focused on shorter versions of the same songs.

Sorry I did not get back to you till now. I lived in Newark in the 1950’s. Newark was a beautiful place. Lived as a tot near Broadway. Had some stores and a big movie theater. Remember happy days at West End park. It did turn ugly pretty quickly though. My mom lived in Toms River for a stretch till I took her to live with me. Ah, Seaside Heights and the roadstands you spoke of, good memories. Seaside is still there but the roadsides sales long gone. Farms replaced by towns and stores. Speaking of Ridgefield Park, I do some shopping their with my Korean friend.
Silverboom…Yes, it makes you play the guitar like…..
…Clapton………AND, it makes you bigger!
