Good Tuesday Noontime my RP Brothers and Sisters!
It is almost 12:30 pm Eastern in the greater Boston Area and it still looks like rain...but may hold off until later...
My Noontime Music Interlude for this Tuesday is a song by Eric Clapton, entitled "My Father's Eyes" and it is a Live Video Version! It starts off a bit slowly and then takes off like a jet headed for the wild blue yonder! Lots of guitar... It has the pep and energy one needs on a Tuesday.
I would also like to dedicate this to one of our own, Maj Kim Patterson, who has had a slight setback today but appears to be resting comfortably...
Full screen, sound up for a great music experience!
Enjoy!

Thank you, my friend Sgt (Join to see) for posting the music video of Eric Clapton performing "My Father's Eyes" live in 2007 and dedicating it to our friend and sister-in-Christ Maj Kim Patterson
Background Eric Patrick "Clapton is saying that we live on through our children, generation after generation. He "knew" his father (finally) when he looked in his son's eyes, and realized they were his father's eyes.
Clapton was raised by his grandparents, who he thought were his parents until he was in his teens. Growing up, he never knew his father, who only contacted him after Eric was famous. The sadness at not having a relationship is evident in this song."
My Father's Eyes written by Eric Patrick Clapton
Lyrics
"Sailing down behind the sun,
Waiting for my prince to come.
Praying for the healing rain
To restore my soul again.
Just a toe rag on the run.
How did I get here?
What have I done?
When will all my hopes arise?
How will I know him?
When I look in my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
When I look in my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
Then the light begins to shine
And I hear those ancient lullabies.
And as I watch this seedling grow,
Feel my heart start to overflow.
Where do I find the words to say?
How do I teach him?
What do we play?
Bit by bit, I've realized
That's when I need them,
That's when I need my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
That's when I need my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
Then the jagged edge appears
Through the distant clouds of tears.
I'm like a bridge that was washed away;
My foundations were made of clay.
As my soul slides down to die.
How could I lose him?
What did I try?
Bit by bit, I've realized
That he was here with me;
I looked into my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
I looked into my fathers eyes.
My father's eyes.
My fathers eyes.
My fathers eyes.
I looked into my fathers eyes.
My fathers eyes."
