Rock and droll is alive and, well ...

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.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge. Carl Jung - Aion (1951).

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.

Ed I love The Association and never heard this song before. I saw them here in Austin about two years ago and their harmonies had me in tears throughout the concert. (And Mary was all around as well). Now I have to find more of their hits.

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 ..." ?
