I've held at least one of those guitars in my hands.
And I'm pretty sure the Cream bass drum I purchased from Ginger Baker was used in the Farewell Concert too. |

Put a $3.5 million dollar yearly buying budget in the hands of a 23 year old classic rock fan, and I'm sure he'll nab you all sorts of treasures too :winkwink: |

i liked how the narrator on the op music vid describes them as "maybe not the most talented musicians." hahahahahahahahaha :1orglaugh |
And the nickname has something to do with him breaking a guitar on stage. He attempted to fix it right there on stage. While he did this, the crowd did a long slow hand clap.
His manager at the time turned "slow hand clap" into Slowhand, and it stuck. At one point he auctioned off a bunch of guitars for his drug rehab facility. HRC got all the good ones. I know that either Brownie or Blackie were in the mix. |

The job they described as hers, was actually mine and my partner's. She just ok'd things and signed the checks. :1orglaugh |

Did you handle the transaction for Garcia's guitars? That Ginger Baker documentary on cable right now is great. Check it out if you haven't already. |

I think it is on HBO or Showtime right now but can't remember which. What a freaking career... Cream, Blind Faith, Fela... anyone one of those is epic enough mountain to climb for one life, but that is just the tip of the iceberg for Baker. |

btw, my referring to the band as *the* cream in the title was a tongue-in-cheek reference to the narrator in the op video i posted, he called them the cream and i chuckled.

Loved cream, they were one of the best...also liked Blind Faith which was made up of a few members from Cream.....those were the days......................:thumbsup

As they were about my favorite band growing up on Orange Sunshine, I must point out that it is not "The Cream" but "Cream."

nice coincidence ginger baker's b-day was just yesterday. :thumbsup |
I remember everyone saying he was shooting up speed; he later said there was no way he could have done that on drugs.

Are you new to Cream? If so . . . Wheels of Fire and Disraeli Gears

My biggest buy were the KISS costumes and instruments that they wore / played at the Halloween concert at Dodger Stadium in 97 or 98. They had never released anything before that. I got to hand a $200,000 check to Gene Simmons, who's my idol in more ways than one. When I left, I was in the process of buying a Fender Mustang that was Kurt Cobain's from his father. They were gonna put someone through College with the proceeds. |

Does anyone has a pdf copy of Ginger Baker's autobiography "HELLRAISER" to share?? PS: I would post "Blind Faith's" full album but the cover might get into some trouble around here :winkwink:. |
