Notes:
Not a whole lot of notes for Wednesday aside from the fact that I really enjoyed hearing both versions of "Run So Far" together.  George Harrison wrote it, and it's been one of my favorites from Clapton's Journeyman and when I got Brainwashed I was delighted to hear that Harrison had included his version on that record.
