Ginger

As many have heard Ginger Baker has died.  I saw him with Cream, with Blind Faith, and then again with my son in NYC with the short-lived cream reunion.  He was an incredible drummer, in my view, and his abilities on display during the short-lived reunion shows were diminished from the original days of Cream.  BDP24 may have some things to say here.  I think GB was the epitome of what a rudimentary-based drummer with a jazz/swing feel could become.  Few achieved his level of mastery, I feel.
