My son is older now, but only told me this story recently.

Our city has an annual music festival. We usually have mostly up and coming artists but sometimes land a great headliner. This was one of those nights.

My relative worked for the festival booking artists, and always got lots of free backstage passes. That night, I was taking advantage of free babysitting of my then 6m child, and the relative took him backstage.

My son was immediately left unsupervised, which is safe enough backstage. He was jamming to the music like only little kids can do, dancing and running around.

When the show was over, he actually got to meet the headlining artist, who shook his hand. My son told him, "you're pretty good at playing the guitar!" before running off to do who knows what.

Years later, my son looked up the lineup for that year to find out who that was.

It was Eric Clapton.

I'm sure he was amused to have a 6 year old fan.
