Last night, online ads for a terrific-sounding gig appeared on Facebook. Now,
no decent bands ever come to Norwich (last I saw were the Georgia Satellites!) so I was astonished to find that the 'Music of Cream' are actually going to be at Epic Studios, Madgalen Street. I had to control my excitement, because tickets didn't go on sale until this morning: it's a somewhat bijou venue, and is sure to sell out quickly. Fortunately I managed to buy two tickets and can't wait! Of course, it won't be the
original super group trio, but it
will be Jack and Ginger's sons and Eric's nephew!
Cream, as you may have realised from various past posts, are among my all-time favourites:
Badge,
Crossroads and
Sunshine of your Love are all numbers I like playing at jams...
While we're on the subject: it's never been a better time to be an old guitarist. Now I'm semi-retired, I have the time to learn how to play some of my favourite guitar riffs: they're all on YouTube! I've just mastered
Rock and Roll, Kashmir and
Stairway by Zeppelin and
Purple Haze and
Can you Hear Me? by Jimi!
