Wonderful Tonight...

What a great privilege to have Eric Clapton, once again, in Buenos Aires, after more than 10 years…
Tonight I had the honor, together with other 45.000 people, of witnessing a two-hour concert by the greatest guitar player in the world. And in spite of being 67 years old, he has lost none of his enormous talent. He looks more like an English college professor than a rock star. However, no one  knows how to suck the best music out of a guitar. His band, of course, is also excellent.
Yesterday’s glorious moment came when he played and sang "Wonderful Tonight," one of my top-ten favorite songs, specially after having read Pattie Boyd’s biography, who was his greatest love and also George Harrison’s wife. It was to her that she dedicated this song that is the most beautiful tribute a man can give to a woman. Let’s not forget that, previously, to conquer her, when she was still someone else’s wife, he wrote to her “Layla,” another of his most famous songs.  
In my next life I want to be a talented musician and spend my life on the stages of the world...
Good night to you all...
