After hearing 3fingers post in origionals (Interlude for Ted), John and I decided to do this song and dedicate it to Ted. Ted...you have MANY friends here and they're all praying for you!!! You're a huge asset to this site and we want you to be around for years to come!!! So...fight like hell, bro....and keep the faith!!!

This is for you, bro!!!

I just jumped in to look around and seen this post and after hearing this I'm overwelmed!!! What to say I just can't say anything to compair to the way I feel................. Thanks Guys!!!

When Robbie asked me to do this with him, well i just said ABSOLUTELY!!!! Sergio's interlude just floored me!!!! We, as musicians..... it's our "language", to take song's that have meaning, and try to convey the spirit of the music and the lyrics to everybody, in a way that touches something inside them!!! I truly hope that this is one of those times...that the music, and the words, will permeate your spirit Ted, and bring on a peace, and a confidence, that you can be healed of this awful disease!!!! That is what i felt in singing it, and i'm sure Robbie felt the same way in playing it!!! Your a very special friend to us here.....and we don't want you going ANYWHERE!!!! So, be well brother!!!, and i hope this little token from us to you, will give you a lift in your spirit, as it did for me, and Robbie, to do it!!!!!

Good ear, Art although it was actually pre- Slowhand....between Cream and Derek and the Dominoes. Blind Faith consisted of Steve Winwood, Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker And Rick Grech. They did one album(only 6 songs) in '69.

Thx again for listening, guys!!

I just have to express my deep appreciation for Ted's playing and his presence on these boards. He is one of the strongest pillars of this site and is a gentleman to the core. If Ted is hurting, then I am hurting too. We are all with you on this!

LOL! I got beat to giving Bluesy a history lesson

- This is priceless and as 3F says Righteous. I can't think of a more upbeat and uplifting (and completely leftfield) number to give Slings spirits a lift. Thanks to you both for this

Oh yeah ... 5 stars!!!

Phenomenal guys! Sling... you've really been very pinnacle in getting me to step outside my normal box of listening. A lot of new doors have opened because of your influence here. Thank you, it's a real gift. All i can say is get well and stay strong. Our prayers are with you and yours.
