Cream was never one of most favorite bands, but I liked them enough. But I recognized Baker as one of the great drummers in rock history. He was good.

Oh no! RIP Ginger Baker  "But, as luck would have it, he stood up. He caught that chunk of lead." Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Hathcock "If there's one thing this last week has taught me, it's better to have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have it." Clarence Worley | |||

Great drummer. He was one ornery guy. I saw an interview sometime back by a journalist who interviewed when he was living on his compound in South Africa. Unnecessarily unpleasant would be a kind description. Here it is: | |||

A drumming hero of my youth! RIP Ginger, you were a great one. Place your clothes and weapons where you can find them in the dark. “If in winning a race, you lose the respect of your fellow competitors, then you have won nothing” - Paul Elvstrom "The Great Dane" 1928 - 2016 | |||

He made it to 80, really seems pretty remarkable; he always looked so skeletal. Big influence on a lot of drummers, I guess. _______________________________________________________ despite them | |||

Thanks for the recommendation, oddball, we thoroughly enjoyed this. Cream showed up when I was at "that age", I'm not sure any of us knew what to think. Yeah, there was hype, it's a "supergroup", sez who and what the hell is this? It didn't take long for everyone to get up to speed. A pretty awful guy, the world is better for him having been here. RIP Mr. Baker. Set the controls for the heart of the Sun. | |||
