We’ve lost a lot of rock legends the past few years. The ones I grew up with are getting old.

If you get a chance, watch "Beware of Mr Baker", a film on his life.

He also played with Blind Faith and one of my favorite musicians and singer Steve Winwood.

"Can't find my way home home"

is my life song and best fits me.....

One of rocks most influential drummers. He helped pioneer the double bass drum kit and used his toms for more than just fills. He also had a ride cymbal with rivets around the perimeter to get a “sizzle “ sound. Ginger was one of my favorite drummers in one of my favorite bands. RIP Mr. Baker

I saw that concert at Royal Albert Hall on one of the Music historic stations a while back. It was great! Jack Bruce, Clapton and Baker. One of my favorite groups of the sixties! Remember the Yardbirds, The Animals, Doors, Byrds, ect., ect.!
