Today in rock history, Peter Edward "Ginger" Baker was born in Lewisham, South London, in 1939. I won't bore you with details of Ginger's life (I probably wrote a post last year at this time when he turned 70). What is pretty cool though (and something I didn't know), is that his son, Kofi, is also a professional drummer. This hits home for me, as I have three sons, aged 14, 17 and 21, and they are all drummers as well. So it can be a noisy house at times! Check out this drum solo duet from Ginger and Kofi back in 2000, thanks to http://rockhall.com/story-of-rock/today-in-rock/ and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginger_Baker for the info, and keep on rockin', family style!
