. . . not bad, rubber duck, not bad at all!

admittedly there certainly is quite a similarity between "deep feeling" and "albatross", and i really should've noticed it myself sometime in all those umphty years.

martin celmins noted in his bio on peter green in connection of an incident, where green confronted eric clapton with the fact that he copied matt murphy's solos note for note on the "beano" album: "this point illustrates well the hand-me-down nature of the blues. one of peter's early inspirations for 'albatross' was 'a group of notes from an eric clapton solo played slower'. so who knows. perhaps matt murphy should get some remote credit for the hit instrumental." - at least chuck berry should, i'd say!
