[Slowhand] RE: Jack Bruce link

[Jon Maclean]

I checked this pointer to Jack's site out, and interestingly, found a note 
in Jack's diary dated May 14, 2004 that there was something big on the 
horizon for next year. This says to me that Eric, Jack and Ginger have 
quietly been working towards the re-union for several months, and reading 
between the lines, my guess is that they have already held rehearsals and 
been happy with the results. In true politician's style, they have then 
leaked the news of a possible re-union to assess public reaction (which we 
are all currently providing) to the project. That of course would be the 
logical way to arrange something like this.
This "no official comment from representatives of any of the musicians" line 
really cracks me up.

I do agree with John Walasko's endorsement of Ginger's drumming on his most 
recent jazz recordings. There is no way the guy has lost his touch, that is 
for certain, and if my assertions above are right, then we may also assume 
that Ginger's shoulder has fully recovered.  Hopefully all this can 
translate well to the requirements of playing with Cream again.

Cheers,
Jon
