Ginger was and is my favorite drummer. Cream was my favorite group when I was growing up. I saw Ginger in 2005 at Madison Square Garden the second night of the Cream reunion. It was the best concert I have seen and heard. I saw him in 2014 at New Hope, Pa with his Jazz Confusion group. I saw GBJC again at New Hope. He always had his own style!

RIP Ginger. Cream and the Yard Birds spawned more than a few Rock Legends back in the day. Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Clapton all went on to bigger better things.

I got to see The Yardbirds with Jimmie Page. Local venue with a max capacity of about 1500.

I was hanging out at the stage. An arm’s length away.

Good times.
