For bonus points (and no googling) how old was Santana's drummer when they performed at Woodstock? Only since nobody answered: 20 No, I didn't " Google" it, but the devil is in the details. I DuckDuckGo'ed it. Wasn't Neil Schoen like 16.

Well, I got the 20 answer from: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Shrieve"At age 20, Shrieve was the second youngest musician to perform at Woodstock." (the article was talking about Santana) Another reference shows Schon as as a guitarist & vocalist, not a drummer. But that's all history I didn't even know at the time, so I can't comment on the accuracy of any of the sources. :)

The story goes that Schoen was 15 when both Santana and Clapton asked him to be their second guitarist.Shrieve later went on to form Novo Combo who had a good first album:

I recently found out there Scorpions albums I had never heard of. After exploring them I came across Uli John Roth's Scorpions Revisited. Magnificent!

Throwing something a little different into the mix. This song fits so many meetings I've been in over the years, or people I've known (e.g "been stuck with") :)
A little tune by Stealers Wheel from 1973. Written by Gerry Rafferty and Joe Egan with Rafferty the lead vocalist.
Supposedly this is about a music industry party - with the clowns and jokers being the music executives! (anybody out there in the music business please comment!)
"Stuck in the Middle With You"

Just discovered on YT a few videos of friends of mine singing at a show I was at in the 90's looks like Symphony Space in Manhattan.Ami Ortis who just retired after 30 years as The Chantels lead singer backed by my friend Tommie Shider(George Clintons cousin) and The Sheps guys I've known since '89 or so.Here they do Little Anthony and the Imperials Two People In The World:

Larry Carlton - Layla For those unfamiliar with Larry he's mostly known as a jazz Rock guitar player as well as his work with Steely Dan. When he wants to rock he certainly does. His version of Layla is one of my all-time faves and I've always found his solo phrasing on this to be eerily similar to Buck.
Once again, I'm not smart enough to post a link!

Here ya go <video not repeated to save space>Larry Carlton is amazing! Clapton's opening riff has got to be one of the most recognizable in the rock music world. Takes about 1 second! Good old Derek and the Dominos. I always loved Layla, especially since it was inspired by a real experience. George Harrison may not have liked it so much.... On Carlton: Up until about 30 seconds in I would swear that Clapton himself was playing it! Then he did a really nice job putting his own spin on it.

I always thought it was Duane Allmann who rocked that riff originally and that Clapton was on rhythm. I know Rita Coolidge wrote the coda and Jim Gordon swiped it from her wholesale.

After digging around a few minutes, Clapton basically said Allman composed the song's signature riff. The description of actual playing of the riff that got recorded got a little complicated for a non-musician like me to completely figure out, with both Allman and Clapton playing overlapping parts of it. I never knew. The description is in the "Writing and recording" section at: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaylaFYI: I've learned more about the technical and historical aspects of "music" from this forum in the short time I've been here than in all my previous life!

David & David - Welcome to the Boomtown- I'm not sure there's a better song that sums up the excess of the'80s. The characters described in this song could be from any City USA in those days. Such a shame they never followed it up as far as I know.
