The former Fleetwood Mac producer has managed to keep in touch with the group’s co-founder, Mick Fleetwood, and still talks to coproducer, Dashut, which is comforting as you get to know him in the book and follow their friendship through the making of the record.
except regular fans in the crowd pay beaucoup moolah for their seats, while Ken got comped tickets from the band and was sitting in family and friends section.
