Rock lives! :rockandroll::rockandroll::rockandroll:
AND drummers never die.
Their sticks just grow brittle...
Wow David, you had a fun life. I love that song too. Cream, I mean. They were a great band. And being a roadie...you probably met some high end folks. (Pun intended )

Sadly not Dawn, although the band did front for other big name stars of the time.
But I wasn't always sober enough to converse, even if I wanted to. And very often I had other things to focus my thoughts on. :dancingman:
But it was awfully useful as a chat up intro.

Before or AFTER Eric Clapton? Did a gig with CREAM many moons ago, Philadelphia, I think... LMAO :peace:
Oh yes, Clapton was there alright, in the dressing room playing a silent guitar (unplugged in), Ginger Baker was throwing up in a corner from his (I suspected anyway) heroin intake, and Jack Bruce was just quiet.
I was never a roadie, the only musical instruments I ever played (mercifully for a short while) were the accordion and the tuba, but I did get to sit on the small stage inside the Student Union ballroom next to the keyboardist for these guys and this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aWFaZgwerY .
And I did get to party with these guys (yes, Mary was in attendance too):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbQMHJFFh-s .
But none of it holds a candle to sitting in the audience at Saunders Theater and listing to Bobby Millitello chant over the mouthpiece of his flute during a rendition of Brubeck's Koto Song.

Just posted "Cherish" on facebook. I challenge even CD to say this is not a GREAT song, vocally.

So that I can avoid just a bit of agony today: Are you referring to that Harold Arlen-esque tune that begins, "Cherish is the word I use to descri-ibe ..." ?
