As I've posted here before (in reviews of his albums), I have been a fan of Derek Trucks for several years, having seen him play live on three occasions (twice with the Allman Brothers and once with Eric Clapton). Well, somehow, someone found a video of him performing with a blues band at age fourteen, doing the coda section from "Layla" and a blues jam at a festival, opening for the Allman Brothers back in 1993. Some people are just born with talent right out of the box. This is Derek jamming with a band at age 14! I'll admit, at that time in my life, I was still playing drums and didn't pick up on guitar for a few more years. But this is TOO AWESOME not to post.
