"Thom the World poet is an old mate of mine from way back in my history. Even pre-dating Voiceprint, when I was running "Otter Songs" and Thom's poetry tapes and guest appearances with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth and Mother Gong are well known and highly regarded. It just felt right to include a daily poem from Thom on our Gonzo blog and when I approached him to do so, he replied within seconds!!! Thom is a great talent and just wants to spread poetry, light and positive energy across the globe. If we at Gonzo can help him do that - why not?"
THE BEAT DOES NOT GO ON
B.C(Before Cream)Ginger Baker
played drums in The Graham Bond Organization
and Alexis Corner's Blues Incorporated
After Cream,he played with Hawkwind and Fela Kuti
as well as jamming with many others
Ginger Baker was the first "celebrity drummer"(after Keith Moon)
whose temper matched his many talents.His drum solos
on his double bass drum kit were a feature in Cream performances.
And it was the 1960s-when music made headlines
and musicians were both heroes and villains..
"Beware of Mr Baker"documents his musical prowess
as well as his health and personality issues.
We bought his group works because they were progressive
You can love his talents,when playing Cream retrospectives...
