When I sent him a letter while he was in CMF.

He took the time and effort to write back to a very silly fan.

I wrote that fans should have been calling HIM god, not Eric Clapton, because it was his drumming that really was what made the music so amazing.

That comment was what he was referencing in this letter.

RIP Jim. Thank you for the great music and for being so incredibly kind to this very silly nobody fan of yours.

Let me try again, maybe this will work.
