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.

WHITE BLUES: CAN ERIC CLAPTON EMBODY DU BOIS’ DOUBLE CONSCIOUSNESS? by Ryan Gabriel Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DEPARTMENTAL HONORS in Sociology in the Department of Sociology, Social Work & Anthropology Approved: Thesis/Project Advisor Departmental Honors Advisor Dr. Peggy Petrzelka Dr. Christy Glass Director of Honors Program Dr. Christie Fox UTAH STATE UNIVERSITY Logan, UT Spring 2011 2 ABSTRACT In this article I explore if Black consciousness, as described by W.E.B. Du Bois' theory of double consciousness, can be taken on by those who are White. I analyze songs both written and covered by Eric Clapton, to examine if elements of double consciousness are in his music. Furthermore, I analyze album covers that have Clapton's image on them, looking for characteristics of physical Blackness. My fmdings reveal that Eric Clapton does take on aspects of double consciousness, through his music, and facets of physical Blackness.

Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

Indigenous Artists Whose Music Is Featured in Rumble the Concert
Educational Notes: INDIGENOUS ARTISTS WHOSE MUSIC IS FEATURED IN RUMBLE THE CONCERT Introduction American Indian musicians have been active in contemporary music for nearly a century. Many Native artists have had successful and influential careers in almost every form of popular music— from jazz and blues to folk, country, and rock. Some assumed the role of supporting performer, band member, or session player. Others were drawn to the limelight, and are recognized for their accomplishments in mainstream music, yet not necessarily for their American Indian heritage. Together they forged new sounds, worked with some of the greatest names in music history, and inspired both Native and non-Native performers who continue to build on their legacy. Charley Patton – Foundation of the Blues During the era of swing and jazz, there was a genre of music played in rural and regional venues that had not yet reached mainstream popularity—the blues. The blues is thought to have developed from a combination of African and Native music traditions. Many historians have traced elements of blues music, such as its shuffling beat, to Native drum rhythms and the call-and-response style of singing. Charley Patton (Choctaw/African American, 1887?–1934) was a seminal influence on the careers of Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, and Howlin’ Wolf. He raucously played the 1920s delta roadhouse and juke joint scenes, banging on his guitar, swinging it around wildly, and even playing it behind his back. His energetic performances influenced the theatrical style of famous rock and rollers such as Jimi Hendrix. Patton died at the early age of forty-three, and with only three recordings, he is considered the “Father of the Delta Blues.” Mildred Bailey – First Lady in Big Band and Jazz Mildred Bailey (Coeur d’Alene, 1907–1951) has been praised as the first non- African American jazz singer to successfully adapt the rhythms and improvisational flavors of Dixieland and ragtime into swing jazz.

Schools of Longing
THE KATHERINE ANNE PORTER PRIZE FOR FICTION HONORABLE MENTION ELINAM AGBO Schools of Longing e begin with a crash, a hoot, and a forgotten shoe. Like the Wpeople in their beds, the fowl and the rabbits are asleep, safe from foxes and other night thieves. The owl is a still watcher atop the balustrade, blending with the night except for those eyes your mother misses because she has broken the vase on her way to slamming the door. The tulips your father picked for her yesterday lose their petals and begin their dying. She pauses, feels the prick of a hard gaze, shakes it off, stomps her way down the veranda, down the steps and into the compound, where she leaves for good, the gate wide open. She’s a brave one, your mother, not scared of the night or those who walk in it. The owl takes off after a mouse scurrying home. The wing- sliced wind sings us awake. We rise. From the ashes your mother smears on her way out. Ashes from last night’s meal, the fire she built to heat water on the clay hearth because your father’s mother had commandeered the kitchen stove and your father admitted patients late again and couldn’t break the fight between the two women of his heart. We rise, breathless and bodiless, smelling a familiar life, a key to our past. We are so hungry for memory. We rise without know- ing our number, our want driving us forward. You are a surprise, failing to tiptoe behind us.
