Thank you. I “saw” Cream in 1968 at a circular theater where the stage rotated. Except it didn’t. It broke down after about one revolution, and I was stuck behind the band, where all I could see was Ginger Baker. Being a drummer, that was ok with me, but I would have liked to have seen Clapton and Bruce.

It always irked me that Baker insisted he wasn’t a “rock” drummer but a “jazz” drummer. Sorry, I also saw the Dave Brubeck Quartet with the amazing Joe Morello on drums, and Ginger, you are definitely a rock drummer.

As the narrator says, “Disraeli Gears” and “Wheels of Fire” were mind-blowing for how far they advanced the rock idiom, and to this day they are many of my favorite songs.

Everyone who heard me said I reminded them of Corky Laing, which I considered a great compliment.

I’ll tell you who else is great-—obviously Carmine Appice, my hero whom I saw about three months ago with “Vanilla Fudge.” God he is still unbelievable. No one else at his level.

But Ringo Starr was exceptional at being able to hold a band back just slightly and at playing more different types of beats than any rock drummer. I later learned most of his style came form the fact he was LEFT HANDED playing on a right handed set! That’s why his rolls are so funky!

You might check out
“You Keep Me Hangin’ On,” by Mark Stein and me. It’s a history of rock music as told through the eyes of Mark Stein, who played with everyone from Whitesnake to Alice Cooper to Vanilla Fudge and even wrote jingles, JUST missing on the jingle of all time “It’s the Real Thing”-—his was #2 in the selection, “People like you like Coke!”

Carmine, at the peak of Vanilla Fudge when he had a full sponsorship from Ludwig, posed naked in Playgirl.

It cost him his sponsorship and all his other gigs, like commenting at the drum and bugle competitions for ESPN.

What's all this complaining? Musically, it's the greatest time to be alive. You have instant access to all the great music the world has recorded at any time.

Plus music is no longer filtered through a handful of coked up humps in the music industry who decide what you're allowed to listen to.

You want brilliant Afrikaans traditional music?

Or Lightning Hopkins tearing up the blues?

Tom Jones killing it with Janice Joplin?

The Who at Leeds?

Dean Martin, in his old age, singing a Kris Kristofferson classic?

Great current rock and roll bands like The Foo Fighters or The Hold Steady

And live music is great too! I can pick a night and find a dozen great live shows to go see. Seriously, everything you could want to listen to is at your fingertips.

I have a bunch of live music videos I shot myself on my YouTube channel, with almost 7 million hits.

Good music is everywhere, just turn off the radio.

I never saw Cream, a bit before my time, but I did see Eric Clapton back around 1979 at the Lakeland, FL Civic Center. It was open seating and I got there early for a right up front seat.

I saw a Traffic reunion concert in Orlando, FL back in the early 1990s.
