 Well, what I see in Slowhand is; "Cocaine" has a great groove and some great
guitar work."Wonderful Tonight" is a nice ballad. Although the song is simple,
the notes seem just right and E.C. doesn't overplay. The country flavor of "Lay
Down Sally" is a nice change. "The Core" just rocks. I love hearing E.C. jam
out like this. Kinda wish he did more of it.

>Ding dong, the witch is dead!!  This about makes up for the Clapton atrocity. 

 To each his own I quess. The Ramones album is decent. I don't dislike it. The
result isn't a shock, but it is disappointing. There are a ton of punk fans in
this newsgroup. In reading some of their comments, I see that for some, their
pompousity hasn't wavered since '77. That is even more disappointing.
