His father was killed on Leros during the Dodecanese Campaign. Casualty His middle name, Louvain, suggests a link to German atrocities there in 1914 shortly before he was born.
Jack Bruce died 5 years ago this month. That leaves only Eric Clapton still with us. Cream’s music is immortal though. A US based colleague of mine specialises in providing services to the music industry and especially rock bands. He is a big fan of British blues/progressive rock bands. He mentioned that he had never heard a better drummer than Ginger Baker, saying his timing was flawless. RIP Ginger Baker.
