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.

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. | |||
