Check out Sunday's story on several of the contributors to Eric Clapton's distinctive sound. We also had a Thursday Spot cover story (links below).

The Tulsa World spent weeks asking for input from fans and musicians alike, wanting their memories and experiences with Clapton and the Tulsa Sound. Problem is, about three people responded. We were bummed by the response.

However, I also called, emailed and messaged many Tulsa musicians and experts via social media and traditional email. Heck, I used a phone, too. I ended up with three great conversations with three great people: Jamie Oldaker, John Wooley and David Teegarden Sr. Read those interviews below.

Our latest coverage has kicked something loose. We've had numerous emails, comments and phone calls from folks tripping out on that way-back machine. And we welcome all the sharing of decades' worth of memories.

Clapton plays the BOK Center on Tuesday with rock legend Roger Daltrey opening. Tickets are still available.

Read our coverage, here and here.

Also check out the Tulsa World series, "Rock of Ages," which chronicles the history of Tulsa rock 'n roll, here.

We welcome your memories and input. Post your messages here, on the linked stories or email scene@tulsaworld.com.

Thank you!
