I've played Bass p/t for Decades, and took up Bass in part from hearing 'Cream' in HS.
I saw Jack in Ringo Starr's 'All Starrs' Lineup, and that was a peak Evening outside for me. They started to adjust the Drum Kit, and I knew what was next. Before he was Deported on an old Drugs Charge, Ginger Baker was raising Polo Ponies and living the Good Life in the Foothills West of Denver. Ringo announced that the next few Songs would be '2/3rds light Cream'.
Fellow Scotsman Jack was on his 2nd Liver.
I still get chills over the interplay on this one from the original Farewell Concert by Cream.
Take your time getting back into the Music Scene. Try a 'big Toe in the Water' approach, and you'll know when you can handle it more-easily. At the right pace, you can do this.
