I use these files as "Hello" and "Goodbye" messages for Windows.

"Hang on, hang on" From Unplugged''s false start of "Alberta."
Hello Old Friend A great "Hello" message.
"Good evening all" Another great "Hello" message, this one from Crossroads II.
"So long, oh how I hate to see you go" From "Reconsider Baby."
Goodbye is too good a word, babe... From Eric's rendition of "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright." From Bobfest.
"God bless you, thank you very much, goodnight" From Montreux, 1986. Typical of Clapton's closing remarks in the 1980s.

More "Hello" and "Goodbye" messages for Windows, but these feature Clapton influences and contemporaries rather than EC himself.

But you know I'm here... The Hootchie Cootchie Man himself.
I see that we meet again...Hmm Jimi from Woodstock.
...Goodbye baby, and I don't care what you do From the original "Worried Life Blues" by Big Maceo Merriweather.

Clapton introducing surprise guest Pete Townshend Taken from my first EC concert in Greensboro, 1974. One of the great moments of my life.
Easy Now Also from my first EC concert. I wasn't entirely sure it was Clapton until I heard this song, because he started with "Smile."
Clapton and Buddy Guy jamming From Chicago, 1995.
Me playing Bell Bottom Blues From the Slowhanders Tribute Tape.
Dave Letterman reading my letter My 15 seconds of fame.
Taps Me doing for "Taps" what Jimi did for "The Star Spangled Banner." Eat your heart out Eddie Van Halen!
