Ginger's Heart

Who the hell knows if this is true or not. Could easily be a fact, could just as easily be a ruse to get out of a tour he decided he didn't really feel like doing. He's had that kind of a career, that kind of a life.

Great drummer, though. Cream. Blind Faith. Ginger Baker's Air Force. Baker Gurvitz Army. With Fela Kuti, with Hawkwind. The Ginger Baker Trio with Charlie Haden and Bill Frisell. And then there's a ton of solo stuff I've never heard at all, and gigs with John Lydon's PIL.

Just FYI: the Zildjian 22" cymbal and the 14" hi-hats Baker has been using on recent tours are the same ones he used during the final Cream shows in 1968.
