Huh? / Re: Jack Bruce, bassist of 60’s band Cream, dies at 71

I was just coming of age when I heard "Sunshine of Your Love" for the first time and the riff has been running through my head hundreds of times over the years 
Jack was the one who wrote and did lead vocals for the song. Eric Clapton overshadows the other members of Cream, but Jack Bruce was a phenomenal bass guitarist and not only wrote some of Creams best songs, but also "Theme For An Imaginary Western", which was done up really nicely by Leslie West & Mountain. I read somewhere that Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce had an adversarial relationship on stage over the years. It is too bad that Jack Bruce never got the commercial success in his solo efforts after the breakup of Cream. A somber tip of the hat to one of Rock & Roll's royalty

The eskimos just can't get enough of the Black Bandit World Service! Actually, fair to middlin' signal here in Western MA with the always entertaining Mr. Abu Dhabi...thanks for the shoutouts! Still S5 here at 2335 UTC with noise and some bouncy fading from the X-3.1 flare earlier.
