ABUJA Wholesale Oakland Athletics Jerseys , Oct. 29 (Xinhua) -- Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan on Wednesday received the trophy won by the victorious women's team at the just concluded African Women Championship in Namibia and promised to formally play host to the African champions at a presidential dinner that will be announced later.

The Super Falcons defeated their Cameroonian counterparts, also known as the Indomitable Lionesses Wholesale New York Yankees Jerseys , 2-0 to win the gold medal in Windhoek, capital of Namibia on Saturday.


Nigeria's trio of Francisca Ordega, Desire Oparanozie and Asisat Oshoala won the Most Valuable Player of the final match, Golden Boot and Most Valuable Player of the competition awards respectively.


The Nigerian team, along with second and third-place teams, Cameroon and Cote d'Ivoire Wholesale New York Mets Jerseys , will represent Africa at the 2015 FIFA World Cup to be hosted by Canada.

The first, published blues music was Dallas Blues in 1912, but the blues predates that by at least 20 years and possibly a great deal more. The first recordings of blues music were made for research purposes and have since been lost along with any record of the precise where when and why. Blues seem to have arisen in the period after the emancipation of slaves in the USA and some aspects of the music, such as blue notes, seem to originate (not surprisingly) with the music of Africa. In other ways there was originally little difference between blues and country as they grew up together in the early part of the 20th century, yet blues was identified with black musicians Wholesale Minnesota Twins Jerseys , while country was predominately white. It seems strange then that while the blues is steeped in the culture of the American deep South, one of the most famous blue guitarists is a white guy from the UK, Eric Clapton.

American blues made the transition to the UK largely because of black American soldiers who were stationed in the UK during the second World War.锟?In 1958 Muddy Waters played electric blues for the first time in Britain to shocked audiences, unaccustomed to the amplified electric sound and heavy beat. Many were captivated and while the cultural differences could not have been greater, British Blues was born. The Rolling Stones even took their name from a Muddy Waters song, Rollin Stone .

Co incidentally 1958 was the year Eric Clapton got his first guitar. Born in Ripley in Surrey and brought up my his grandmother Wholesale Milwaukee Brewers Jerseys , Clapton found the guitar difficult and nearly gave up, but he enjoyed listening to blues music on his tape recorder and spent a lot of time practicing to get the chords right. He left school in 1961 and went to art college, but only lasted a year. In 1962 he asked his grandparents help to buy an electric guitar, (a Gibson ES 335 clone) Already it was clear that music, not art was his major interest. He began busking and performing in pubs with a锟?friend, then when he was 17 he joined a band called The Roosters while supporting himself by working as a bricklayer.

In 1963 he joined another group called the Yardbirds and began to create an original sound and style Wholesale Miami Marlins Jerseys , heavily influenced by blues music. Although the Yardbirds were successful their first major hit was not a blues song and in protest Clapton left to join John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers and then in 1966 he formed Cream. Cream disbanded in 1968.

Throughout this time, he was searching for a distinctive, bluesie sound. In the early 60 s Eric Clapton played a Fender telecaster but he changed this for a 1960 Gibson Les Paul and a Marshall amplifier. When he left the Bluesbreakers to form Cream, his Les Paul was stolen, but he continued to play guitars of that type until 1967 when he obtained a 1964 Gibson SG which he later had painted in psychedelic colors for a tour. The Gibson SG was one of the major components of the distinctive sound Clapton created during those mid to late 60 s.锟?The woman tone as other musicians have called it, is a distorted sound partially created by turning the guitars amplifier up full and the tone down to one or zero.锟?br >
By 1970 Eric Clapton was a superstar. He formed Derek and the Dominos and went on to record the album Layla and other assorted rock songs .锟?The inspiration was Clapton s attraction to George Harrison s wife Wholesale Los Angeles Dodgers Jerseys , Patti Boyd, who was also the inspiration for Harrison s beautiful song Something .锟?To say this relationship was complicated is something of an understatement. Patti Boyd was a model and had married George Harrison in 1966. Eric worked on several projects with George and apparently fell in love not only with Patti but with Paula her sister. So much so that in 1970 Paula moved in to his home, but she wasn t alone. Eric had another girlfriend, Alice Ormsby Gore, daughter of Lord Harlech, the former British Ambassador to Washington.锟?She and Eric had announced their engagement in 1969.

When Eric wrote Layla Wholesale Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Jerseys ,锟?Paula immediately knew who it was about and锟?walked out, but Patti would still not leave her husband. This together with the albums lack of success sent Clapton into a depressive spiral fuelled mainly by heroin. He sank and became a recluse, rarely leaving his house and took Alice, who was 17, with him.锟?Alice and Eric stayed together for five years, but when Wholesale Kansas City Royals Jerseys , with the help of Alices family, Eric managed to break his heroin habit, he ended their relationship. Alice died in poverty from a heroin overdose in 1995.锟?br >
With the help of Pete Townshend (of The Who ) he picked himself up and made a come back. Heroin was replaced by alchohol. Patti left George and by 1974 Eric had a new sound and was a composer as well as a guit.
