   MoreMoose says From Wikipedia: "There is a common misconception that Eric Clapton performed this song. Clapton to date has never recorded "Classical Gas". The misconception comes from the fact that Eric Clapton performed the Soundtrack to the movie The Story of Us; however, the version of "Classical Gas" on the soundtrack is from Mason Williams' 1971 album Handmade."

   kswasson44 says Thanks for the heads up! A little research pays off...I was aware that Clapton had performed for the movie soundtrack and assumed that this piece was his.

   MoreMoose says Yeah - I hope I wasn't too smarmy. I used to love this piece when I was 12 or 13, and of course I had the Mason Williams single. That version was orchestrated. I'm a big Clapton fan, and this didn't seem like his playing style, although I know that he does play acoustic guitar sometimes. I forgot to say: Thanks for posting, very enjoyable!
