Not a good idea. He and Jack won't get along in heaven either.

When his time comes, Ginger has to make it past Saint Peter first... No doubt he'll start an argument  :mrgreen:

Just read the Rolling Stone interview...he is a prickly personality.  Easy to see why there was friction.

Still, Ginger appeared at the Jack Bruce tribute concert last fall. You have to give him credit for that.

Ginger could draw a small crowd drumming on that oxygen tank he lugs around.
