Ginger Baker

Oh, I'm sorry, Miss Chambers.

You see, it's just that my family never had a lot of money and still my folks were always making sacrifices for us kids, especially my mom.

I remember something she used to say to me, she'd say: "Woody, hold on to your dream.

I lost mine, but I want yours to come true.

It always made me sad to think of what Mom gave up for us.

What was your mom's dream?

To be a drummer in a power trio.

Her big hero was Ginger Baker in Cream.

Whenever we'd walk by the music store in town, she'd just stare and stare at the Ludwigs in the window.

I knew even though she was standing in front of Keller's Music, that in her head she was up on some stage banging out the solo in Toad.

It must have been tough to go back to breading cutlets.

Now she's gonna get those drums.

And with heavy metal coming back, who knows what might happen.

Bless you, Woody.

Bless you, Miss Chambers.
