As I was a teenager in the 60s, Cream was a huge part of my listening life. Ginger Baker always loomed large (in more ways than one) as a colourful character. Yes, the documentary, showed him as an irascible old geezer - from the stories I've read, he was always a bit that way. Interestingly, what I most remember him for is his rendition of "Mother's Lament" on "Disraeli Gears." As a father later in life, I used to sing it to my girls as a bedtime song! Anyway, thanks for all the music, Ginger. RIP
