On Wednesday, we went to Belgrade, Serbia to hear Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood in concert. We returned to Sofia yesterday and went immediately into some meetings. I was probably more excited about this trip to the concert than Pat because I have been a Clapton fan since the 1960s. I was especially excited to hear him since he became a Christ Follower a few years ago.
Our trip was long (5 hours each way) but we were traveling with Grozan and Slavica, two young friends that we have known for years. We tease Slavica that we are good luck; last time we traveled together she was pregnant and this time too!!
The concert was fabulous. There were about 20,000 people in the arena. We heard British accents, German accents, and of course there were Serbs, Bulgarians, Americans and who know who else; truly an international audience.
They did a variety of songs ranging from blues to rock. Both did their signature songs, "Georga" for Steve Winwood and "Cocaine" for Clapton. I think he may have modified the lyrics since he found a better way to live but the tune and the beat were the same.
Today and tomorrow, we finally get into the reason we came; our Equip seminar. We are looking forward to it. Several old friends will be in the seminar with us and, of course, we will get to meet some new friends as well. More tomorrow.
