My Godmother, 'Aunt Jean d' Napoli got me 'Fresh Cream' n' 'Disraeli Gears' when I turned 13.
This band could jam. Their combined talent created A'sound.
Jack Bruce's singing took me away.
From Blues to tiny Purple fishes, lyrics of Pete Brown and Skip James were memorized.
Later learning every guitar note n' bend of 'slow-hand' Clapton,
then fortunate to meet Keith Heins at Thousand Oaks High School, a drummer inspired by Cream's
jazz'-Afro'red drumming of Ginger Baker...
We started jammin'-
'Phil Sodequist Blues Band'
'Dale Poune Cake walks with Wally'
'Cast of a Thousand Tiki Beats'
'Jiggle the Handle'...
Jack Bruce's solo work, 'Harmony Row' takes me back to waltzing Tania at two 'round the livingroom in the afternoon.
And for you only two
Take care not to grow so fast
You're into the past
In time you will lose them all
Sooner if you fall
In markets that offer stars
No care for the stars
Now/when the time is so ripe
Then/in the twinkling of an eye
Gone/in the drains of a world
Victoria Sage wears out rage
Ten fallings in love for you
And for you only two
Take care not to love too much
You might like the touch
Spring beckons you leave it all
Now you have grown tall
Gold pavements on different stars
Watch out for the cars
