Читать книгу Ginger Baker - Hellraiser - Ginger Baker - Страница 3

I want to dedicate this book to all those I have lost throughout my life: to my mum, my dad, and to George Streatfield the best stepfather I could have wished for.

To my four great drum heroes that I idolised as a young musician: Phil Seamen, Art Blakey, Max Roach and Elvin Jones, all who became dear friends. I had the wonderful experience of playing drums with each of them and their genuine respect was worth more to me than all the money in the world.

To Graham Bond, Alexis Korner, Cyril Davis, Jimi Hendrix, Miriam Lane and Benny Fisher, Tony Williams, Maurice Salvat, Guy Warren, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, Glenn Hughes, Mike Falana, Dave Pearson, Dudley Moore, Harold McNair, Chris Wood, Ronnie Scott, Rick Grech, Dick Heckstall-Smith, Keith Moon and John Bonham, to name but a few. All were good friends who affected my career and character.

And to Colin Edwards, Tommy Harris, Billy Walsh and Bryan Morrison from the polo world.
