RIP Ginger Baker

[terrym]

Sadly Ginger Baker, probably the UKs finest drummer in recent times, has died . This obituary sums up his career
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-49827436
He was a prolific smoker as many of you will know and not surprisingly contracted COPD in recent years, but although he had many other health issues, still managed to get to 80.
RIP Ginger.
