Eric Clapton's Sweet Sixteen

This being bracket season and all that, last Sunday, Bob Stroud featured Eric Clapton's Sixteen Biggest-Selling Hits of Eric Clapton, no matter what group he was with. Or, at least I think it was his best-selling hits as I didn't hear the show, being in North Carolina and all. EC-- Eric Clapton

16. TULSA TIME-- EC
15. CROSSROADS-- Cream EC
14. WILLIE & THE HAND JIVE--
13. FOREVER MAN-- EC

12. HELLO OLD FRIEND-- EC
11. AFTER MIDNIGHT-- EC
10. I'VE GOT A ROCK AND ROLL HEART-- EC
9. WONDERFUL TONIGHT-- EC

8. I CAN'T STAND IT-- EC
7. LAYLA-- Derek & the Dominoes

5. WHITE ROOM-- Cream

4. FOR YOUR LOVE-- Yardbirds
3. SUNSHINE OF YOUR LOVE-- Cream

In keeping with the spirit of the b-ball tournament, I'll run the songs like games, with 16 playing 15, 14 playing 13 and so forth to come up with my favorite-ever Eric Clapton song. Hopefully, I'll do better than i did with my basketball picks.

Wait a minute, I'll have to do them #16 vs. #1, #15 vs. #2.

I'll rewrite the pairings.

Q. What causes the tides in oceans?
A. The tides are a fight between the earth and the moon. All water tends to flow toward the moon, because there is no water on it, and nature abhors a vacuum. I forget where the sun joins the fight.
