This made me look up how old Clapton is... 74. Man that seems older than I thought.

 

[Althetuna]

He looks good for 74.

On the Mount Rushmore of greatest drummers

Ah, glad I can still remember the days when musicians could play something that made music. And in Ginger's case, play lights out.

He looks good for 74.

Stopping the heroin jamming paid off.

Lots of legends leaving us nowadays.

Thanks for the music, Mr. Baker.

The Innovator. The man who invented the power trio (with Bruce and Clapton) and opened the door for Mason, Bonham, Ward, etc. A giant who will be missed. It's true, we're starting to lose these guys to age now and that's a bummer.

I highly recommend watching the Ginger Baker in africa documentary. Amazing, amazing music.
