...magician," he says. "A magician brings dead things to life." His sculptures of food, for example. Typical, terrible American cuisine fascinates him, the kinds of things dieters like Oldenburg himself try to avoid: a wedge of pecan pie, a banana sundae, racks of assorted pastry, ice cream, cheeseburgers.

Lamar, it seems, is faced with two possible alternatives. He can either choose the cream of the material he has and play them exclusively, or he can play everybody.

Baker, who had known Clapton since they worked together in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, "just showed up" one day and started sitting in. With the addition of Grech, they...
