Terrilltf He was the Cream of the crop. I spent many happy hours listening to your music, Ginger. Rest in peace.

Pressed Rat and Warthog, RIP.

Have never forgotten their farewell concert. I was standing in topmost gallery of RoyalAlbertHall but atmosphere, music electrifying.

I'm sorry but Clapton and Bruce should have heeded the warnings and not used Ginger.

May he bask in the Sunshine of Our Love.
