I never set myself too high a goal. It was always tone and feeling, for me. - Eric Clapton

Delaney turned me on to so many things. He played me the music of J. J. Cale, which was to become an enormous influence.

In a trio I had to provide a lot more of the sound, and I found that difficult because I didn’t really enjoy having to play so much. My technique altered quite a lot in that I started playing a lot more bar chords and hitting open strings to provide a kind of drone for my lead work.

One of the songs I wrote while living there was called “Tearing Us Apart,” which was about “the committee,” the group of Pattie’s friends whom I now blamed for coming between us.
