Eric Clapton: Uncle Mac was on the radio on Saturday morning and he would play a variety of music for kids. "How Much Is That Doggie In The Window" - all those kind of novelty things he would play. And then, every now and then, he'd play some different music.
[Muddy Waters' "My Life is Ruined" on the radio]
Eric Clapton: You didn't hear that anywhere else, except on this kiddie's program. And I thought, "Oh, man, this is for me!" I didn't even know that it was black music. I didn't know about black and white being different stuff. But, Something about it got me. Something stirred me - without me even being aware of it. It took all the pain away
