Hi Jack, I just finished reading your biography "Composing Himself" and found out that you are thinking about performing in South America for the first time. Please come to Sao Paulo, it would be the greatest thing.

Jack: Was on line and Google led me to your site. I read your post about the death of Bruce Gary and was very moved. Bruce was a very good friend of mine and we were in many bands together in the 60's and early 70's. I am also a bass player and my "style" is heavily influenced by your playing. Saw the Cream play two sets two nights in a row at the Whiskey a Go Go, and my life was never the same since. He had told me of your friendship, but never bragged. He was one of the best drummers I ever had the pleasure to know. We called him "Mad Dog" because he was just that on the drums. Thank you for your post. JP

Greetings, Jack (the Bruce) In my youth, I brought 'Are You Experienced' into the house. My sister brought 'Disraeli Gears' to the turntable feeling she had trumped me. Plainly I asked her,'how could anything be better than Hendrix?' Her reply, 'listen, you'll see.' I scoffed at her outrageous response. Eventually however, we were listening to each others album with the owner unawares. A truce was soon established whereby we would have unlimited access to each others records. One of the dreams of Jimi Hendrix was to establish an electronic church. His sudden death unfortunately stopped it from happening. A common interest of you both Jack, I believe is helping under privileged children. What better place exemplifies the need than E.A.C.H.? You will though be glad to know that a number of hopeless cases of children in England, at least according to the doctors, did indeed fully recover. One darling belle, a 3 year old, at death's door, not expected to make it through the week, is now a highly energetic, completely healthy 5 year old. Her parents who spent thousands of pounds trying to save their little girl are now living in Colorado Springs, U.S.A. They sold their business in England and moved the entire family to America, to the home base of the organization responsible for their daughter's cure. That organization is the Andrew Wommack International Ministry. They chose to do this to help other families everywhere benefit as they have. Thousands of people have been healed and even some raised from the dead. His own son, Peter, had been brought back to life after the hospital had pronounced him dead and placed his body in the morgue. When Andrew Wommack was informed of his son's death he again prayed believing in the name of Jesus, the Messiah. His son's body then sat up on the hospital gurney , the death sheet sliding down to his waist and jubillantly he remmoved his toetag. A great celebration soon followed going throughout the hospital: some believing including the doctor who pronounce him dead; some not, calling it a hoax, while others just marveled, like the hospital staff who knew hours ago in the morning that this same Peter was dead and in the morgue. Always there are naysayers concerning matters of faith and miracles. Yet many thousands of people have been healed worldwide through Andrew Wommack's organization including aids patients and others with so called incurable diseases. Half the planet, 3.5 billion people worldwide can see his program on a daily basis. His website is awim.net There is such a huge demand on his services that his current facilities are proving inadequate. His expansion plans will cost over 40 million dollars. If you and Ginger along with Eric, Bob Dylan, U2, Garth Brooks and Beyonce just to name a few, would like to hold a benefit concert then people world wide would gain. Call it, 'Cream and Friends Benefit Ensemble'. Sounds crazy? 'All things are possible to him that believes.' -- Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah Oh and Jack , I am believing God that he will bring you to your 80th birthday and beyond before you go back to Him.You will see your grandchildren. Personally, I and no doubt hundreds of millions of people worldwide would love to hear another Cream album with brand new songs. 'Fresh Cream 2' Gratefully, John Flanagan

Hey Jack, I think you were always awesome! Didn't know about your work until many years ago my friend Pat Foley went running across the shop shouting "turn it up" when he heard Tales of Brave Ulysses on the radio! My 15 year old son is now playing your music, he is a bassist and guitar player too!

G'day Jack I chatted to you once at Keele services on the M6 in the late 1960s. It was after Cream and the Bonzo Dog Doodah Band together gave the best show ever at the university or anywhere else. Rumour had it that Ginger Baker stole a spit-roasted pig. Do you have any memories of that gig? 'We're Going Wrong' is my all-time favourite song. The early versions were wonderful, as was the 2005 reunion performance. The only competitors for my number one choice are Dylan's earliest 'Hattie Carroll' and the Sugar Cubes 'Deus' or 'Cold Sweat'. Well done for surviving a liver transplant. I may need one soon, but I might choose to fade away into the eternal night. Keep well, keep plucking (know what I mean?) and keep singing! Bootlebarth

I'm a 60 year old guy who has listened to must of what's important that you have made. (When I grow I want to be like you). I'm not so an intelligent person to play bass instruments like a pro even I never had money to buy one, so I took the road of a listener. I listen to any kind of music and I recognice that your music is one that I have come to colect.So, you have great tone and aproach to music!, creating songs triping around bass not every body do or have done that(Congratulations). I'm tryin not to write boring, and hope not.The coment comes because this is an oportunity to get to say somethin to a person that thinks deeply and maybe can read somethin that can get your attention for a moment and still be entertained in an other way. I live in Puerto Rico. The smallest island of the mayor islands in the caribean. Just near Spanola. This is the land of diferent dancing stiles and I don't have to tell more because you Know Salsa and Regueton that musicians from here do and practice. We are very romantic people and have our oun music that I invite you to search for. Maybe, you have known the music of Willie Colon from New York.It is a good start. Talk to him he can tell you more of what is important to listen to form this island. The music of Spanola and Cuba are other stories, and you know when you got to their thing , but I think you'll enjoy also the music of Puerto Rico.I'm not important I'll never get to be a good profesional musician but I think that what I'm saying could entertain you. Take care of your lungs do exersice. SEE YOU SOMEDAY by and by..........
