  • Eric Clapton
    ERIC CLAPTON BIOGRAFIA Eric Patrick Clapton nasceu em 30/03/1945 em Ripley, Inglaterra. Ganhou a sua primeira guitarra aos 13 anos e se interessou pelo Blues americano de artistas como Robert Johnson e Muddy Waters. Apelidado de Slowhand, é considerado um dos melhores guitarristas do mundo. O reconhecimento de Clapton só começou quando entrou no “Yardbirds”, banda inglesa de grande influência que teve o mérito de reunir três dos maiores guitarristas de todos os tempos em sua formação: Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck e Jimmy Page. Apesar do sucesso que o grupo fazia, Clapton não admitia abandonar o Blues e, em sua opinião, o Yardbirds estava seguindo uma direção muito pop. Sai do grupo em 1965, quando John Mayall o convida a juntar-se à sua banda, os “Blues Breakers”. Gravam o álbum “Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton”, mas o relacionamento com Mayall não era dos melhores e Clapton deixa o grupo pouco tempo depois. Em 1966, forma os “Cream” com o baixista Jack Bruce e o baterista Ginger Baker. Com a gravação de 4 álbuns (“Fresh Cream”, “Disraeli Gears”, “Wheels Of Fire” e “Goodbye”) e muitos shows em terras norte americanas, os Cream atingiram enorme sucesso e Eric Clapton já era tido como um dos melhores guitarristas da história. A banda separa-se no fim de 1968 devido ao distanciamento entre os membros. Neste mesmo ano, Clapton a convite de seu amigo George Harisson, toca na faixa “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” do White Album dos Beatles. Forma os “Blind Faith” em 1969 com Steve Winwood, Ginger Baker e Rick Grech, que durou por pouco tempo, lançando apenas um album.

Comprising over 50 islands, the BVI has a large marine area of 638,568 km2, which significantly exceeds its terrestrial area (153 km2). Managing a marine area over 4,000 times larger than the terrestrial area presents challenges in protecting biodiversity and sustainable development. This project focussed on an area south of the main island of Tortola and Beef Island which was selected through stakeholder engagement to provide the greatest benefit to all departments of the BVI Government. The area included the approach to Road Harbour which is the main shipping route to the islands; an area south of Hans Creek which is of importance as a fish nursery area; and a section of Sir Francis Drake Channel which encompassed the main shipping channel and the Rhone Marine Park, the first Marine Protected Area (MPA) in the BVI (Figure 1).

  • Tortola – St Thomas 7
    Tortola, BVI to St. Thomas, USVI 7 Day Sample Itinerary Due to some flag state limitations and registrations, not all yachts can charter between the US and British Virgin Islands. If you desire to charter in both the US and British Virgin Islands, please let us know during the inquiry process. Day 1 & 2 ~ Guana Island Guana Island is a privately owned resort of around 850 acres of outstanding natural beauty. The entire island is a wildlife sanctuary with one of the richest collections of plant and animal species in the Caribbean, including roseate (pink) flamingos. Monkey Point, marking the sea passage along Tortola's Ocean Coast, has a small cove, which makes it perfect for snorkeling and swimming. The Baths ( Virgin Gorda) Gigantic granite boulders and half submerged rocks line the southern seashore of Virgin Gorda, creating grottos, tunnels and pools. This site was named "The Baths" by the pirates and sailors that cruised this area from the 18th century. Sandy beaches are lined with coconut palms and the area offers a dramatic and lovely place to swim, snorkel and explore. [email protected] Phone: (954) 761-3237 www.churchillyachts.com 1845 Cordova Road, Suite 216 Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316 A second beach, called Devil’s Bay, is reached through a maze-like passage through the boulders and shallower grottos, or a short steam on the yacht. The path is lined with ladders and ropes to ease the hike along steeper rocks. Natural beauty is in abundance on the third largest island of the chain, which measures eight and a half square miles.

  • Eric Clapton - Sein Leben Und Seine Musik Bis Heute Von Thomas Mießeler, Clapton.De
    Eric Clapton - sein Leben und seine Musik bis heute Von Thomas Mießeler, Clapton.de Geburt, Eltern, Großeltern Eric Patrick Clapton wurde am 30. März 1945 im Hause seiner Großeltern in Surrey, England, geboren. Er war der uneheliche Sohn der erst 16-jährigen Patricia Clapton. Sein Vater, Edward Fryer, ein 24-jähriger kanadischer Soldat, war zu dieser Zeit in England stationiert und zog noch vor Claptons Geburt zurück zu seiner Frau nach Kanada. Für ein unverheiratetes, 16-jähriges Mädchen war es in den 40er Jahren äußerst schwierig, ein Kind eigenständig großzuziehen. Daher übernahmen Patricias Mutter Rose Clapp und ihr Stiefvater Jack Clapp die Vormundschaft über den jungen Eric. Patricias Nachname, Clapton, stammte von ihrem leiblichen Vater, Reginald Clapton, der 1933 gestorben war. Patricia lernte derweil in Deutschland einen anderen kanadischen Soldaten kennen, Frank McDonald. Nach ihrer gemeinsamen Hochzeit zogen sie nach Kanada aufgrund Franks militärischer Karriere. Patricia bekam noch drei weitere Kinder. Claptons Kindheit und Jugend Eric, der in der Obhut seiner Großeltern aufwuchs, sollte von den Umständen seiner Geburt lange Zeit nichts wissen. Er verhielt sich in seiner Kindheit still und zurückhaltend. In der Schule galt er allerdings als ein überdurchschnittlicher Schüler mit einer ausgeprägten Begabung im künstlerischen Bereich. Als einschneidendes Erlebnis bezeichnet Clapton bis heute sein neuntes Lebensjahr, dem Jahr, in dem er die wahren Hintergründe über seine leiblichen Eltern erfahren sollte. Es passierte, als seine Mutter Patricia zu Besuch nach England kam. Eric war bis dato fest davon überzeugt, dass seine Großeltern seine Eltern und seine Mutter seine große Schwester gewesen war. Die Konfrontation mit der Wahrheit war für den jungen Eric ein tiefer Schock.
