Ginger Baker

When I listen to the words of Ginger Baker
It dawns upon me
Not all Cream rises to the top
I sure wish someone would drum some sense into that old man
Is there not but one charitable Baker
To do us a favor and cook Ginger?

Paul Callus Date: 6/20/2015 4:43:00 AM I admire your play on words in these witty lines of yours, Arthur. The Cream and Blind Faith drummer always has a lot to say, some to be taken with a pinch of salt. #7 // paul Login to Reply Arthur Vaso Date: 6/20/2015 11:31:00 AM yes, just having a wee bit of fun with this! cheers

Nette Onclaud Date: 6/19/2015 11:38:00 PM Sadly, the rocking trio of eric, ginger, and jack disbanded.. an intense, sentimental write, arthur!.. huggs Login to Reply Arthur Vaso Date: 6/19/2015 11:56:00 PM Thanks Nette, even I know Eric Clapton this was a bit before my time, but had fun reading up and listening some youtubes!!!!! :)

Tim Smith Date: 6/19/2015 8:45:00 AM Clapton was like 20 or 21 when they formed Cream after he played in the Yardbirds....they played mostly blues. He left because of Baker and formed Blind Faith with Steve Winwood...Baked is egocentric. Login to Reply Arthur Vaso Date: 6/19/2015 10:59:00 AM Egocentric and baked! LOL

Richard Lamoureux Date: 6/17/2015 10:16:00 AM I will check him out. You do not appear to be a fan. Login to Reply Arthur Vaso Date: 6/19/2015 7:53:00 AM LOL, just saw an interview of this guy, and came up with this!

Andrea Dietrich Date: 6/15/2015 3:32:00 PM I recall a group named Cream, so this must be as Jan said, the drummer!! He looks like he drank himself into a not so graceful old age. Login to Reply Arthur Vaso Date: 6/15/2015 10:27:00 PM Yes, saw him in an interview recently, when I choose the photo, I choose the worst one to match his personality! LOL

Jan Allison Date: 6/15/2015 11:52:00 AM A awesome drummer with Cream - sadly the ravages of drink and drugs sure did take their toll on him and his career:-( hugs jan xx Login to Reply Arthur Vaso Date: 6/15/2015 10:27:00 PM Yes saw him in an interview recently, not the most humble kind person for sure! LOL Did you know he had a daughter? :)

Casarah Nance Date: 6/15/2015 7:11:00 AM Odd, I have no idea who or what you are talking about, but I like do the get word play. ;) Login to Reply Arthur Vaso Date: 6/15/2015 10:26:00 PM Well strangely enough I had no idea either, but I bet you heard of Eric Clapton! They played together in band called Cream. I saw him in an interview recently thus this poem. I had to google who was too! LOL
