Cool rock n roll photos

The other pic looks like Eric Clapton?... and his Mom?
Not his mom, but possibly his grandmother, who raised him after his birth mother, who had him in her late teens, abandoned him. He's about 18 in that pic, at an early Yardbirds gig. If that doesn't give you the blues, nothing will...

This was Eric and definitely his grandmother about ten years later.

That's who it looks like to me, too. So how 'bout we identify the folks in the pics from now on? :cool:
Just last night I was reading about GG & F in the new King Crimson bio. Lots of great insight into all three gents. The sticking points between Peter G and Robert were quite deep and thus, led to...King Crimson.

Thanks for the great pics!
That may be the only photo of Fripp grinning known to man.
 
LOL...it gets a bit confusing at times...

I thought the questions/suppositions about Eric C were for the photos with Lennon. And that was pretty funny to consider!

But now I see which photos the EC posts were about. I too didn't know who that was but that post was two days ago which is like 10 years in "Cool Rock and Roll Photos Thread" time. Ha ha.

Now I see the resemblance though..
