Here's the album Kenny is talking about in case anyone wants it on vinyl.


If you buy anything at that link I'll get a little guitar string money, but it won't cost you any extra,

Much respect for Clapton. He’s better on his worst day than I’ll ever be. Love Kenny and stories. Thanks, Otis!

[TBlanktim]

The range of Kenny Vaughan's knowledge and talent never ceases to impress.

[jhoskins]

Thank you for posting these Kenny Vaughn clips, I could listen to his stories all day. And Otis, your presentation is perfect!

[WillyPDX]

Cousin Kenny! He and Chris Scruggs are my favorite story tellers and every new interview is another gem. Big thanks to Otis for continuing to post the best interviews out there. ✌❤

I love hearing Kenny Vaughan's stories. He's a monster guitar player himself, and he has so many first hand accounts of his influences and personal experiences that we can all appreciate.

[rylieriley]

I really appreciate how much of Kenny and his stories we've been blessed with on this channel lately. Thanks a bunch, Otis!

Clapton’s playing on the “Beano” collection is the pinnacle of blues guitar performances ever. The passion, phrasing and lyricism remain unsurpassed to this day.

Just love listening to Kenny’s stories. An amazing artist and just as awesome a storyteller !!!!

Hey friend😊 Thanks for all these great videos! Kenny is one of my favorites.Seems like such a great guy, and such an amazing all around Musician.

I saw Clapton with Cream in '68 and Blind Faith in '69 but it was Stevie Winwood who really impressed me at that concert. I'd love to hear Kenny's assessment of Peter Green's playing...his solo on "Jumping at Shadows" live at the Boston Tea Party in '70 (volume 1) is the best slow blues solo I've ever heard...short and searing!

I bought the Beano album in 1969, still have it, , I’m now 72 and still love it.

I saw Buddy Guy do the same thing with the cable, He was playing at Antone's in Austin Texas, the original Antone's on 6th Street, he was playing and started walking around the club then he goes out the door and walks down the street playing his butt off, all the while Clifford is walking behind him rolling out the cord, we went wild, no one had ever seen anything like that, Buddy Guy what a great player, and God Bless Clifford Antone, Clifford brought so much great music to Austin and kept alot of musicians working, for along time The Fabulous Thunderbird's were his house band

❤love these tidbits on Eric and other musicians and how things were in the earlier days of the blues.

[ardenevox]

Always a masterclass or so scholarly without any pretense. So great. Thank you.

Ken he does a great interview. I love the way he gives other people so much credit about their talent. What a neat guy👍🏻

[johnnyroyblues]

Thanks Otis and Kenny for this. In recent years it seems there has been so much "Clapton bashing" going it's refreshing to hear someone speak positively about Eric's true artistry on guitar. I owe a lot to Clapton from copying those early Bluesbreaker licks on up to Strange Brew, plus, at the age of 16, sitting down with my RCA suitcase record player and learning every note from the 6 minute live Politician version off "Goodbye Cream" taught me so much about how to weave smooth, effective phrasing into a lengthy, substantial, and brilliantly spontaneous guitar solo. Clapton was my teacher. I'll never forget his genius and blues virtuosity.

Thank you Otis for providing a great story told by Kenny Vaughan. The ‘headline’ “Eric Clapton Refused To Turn Down -Kenny Vaughan” had my first thought as why would Clapton want to turn down Kenny Vaughan? The slippery slope of language. 😉

Back in the day, when in high school bands (rock/blues) in the late ‘60s, Beano ways the one that set all my buddies on fire…sparks jumped over to me and now that I’m 72 y.o., I still have a love for that music that was such a powerful influence on me and my friends. All of those cats, still make music, if they haven’t already passed on…
