RIP Jack Bruce

[Lullabelle]

I just did!

Seriously ... you can see it? It isn't supposed to be there.

I can't see anything, doesn't it only show when you are online?

It's a new thing. Show up when you logged in. Try looking at it when you aren't on the site, you'll see it isn't there........

I know what the blob is for, but I hide my online status so the blob should never be displayed for me. I did go offline for a while earlier so that would explain it not being shown then.

I can't

Oh bugger! One of my big regrets is not seeing Cream at the Albert Hall. Too young to go at 71

I bought 'Songs for a Tailor' when I was a poor school-kid, having never heard any of it, and when albums were expensive, just because it was Jack Bruce.

If you've not heard it, I suggest you put aside half an hour.

Cheers for the tunes.

Agreed, fab album!

Really sad news. Like @KneesUp , I bought Songs for a Tailor when I couldn't really afford it......followed by Harmony Row and Out of the Storm in 1971 and 1974 respectively. In fact I didn't have a deck in 1971 and didn't realise my copy of Harmony Row was dished and virtually unplayable at a low stylus pressure until it was too late to return it to the record shop! What's not commonly recognised (or is it just me?) is that the lyrics for all three of the above albums were written by Pete Brown, one of the great unsung heroes. He also wrote some of Cream's best tracks. So right now, I'm raising a glass of Talisker to Jack, and I'd also like to recognise Pete, while he's still among us (he is still alive, isn't he?)

Just watched a great programme about Jack Bruce on BBC2 Scotland, I have no idea if it was on in Englandshire but it looks like it's on again on BBC4 on Monday 17/11 @ 11pm
