While this reindeer-rider (and no Carne, I won't bring that up again if you won't either ;)) was over at the http://www.copyright.gov he found this while browsing Lindsey's section:

I was never aware of this since even Nancy's BuckinghamNicks.net only lists LB as a guitar player on that tune, not as a co-writer. Even the All-Music Guide didn't know a thing. So this is for those who have an officially released version of the song; is Lindsey given a songwriting credit in the album notes or not? And is this another spin on "The Chain" riff? [Because I haven't heard the song.]

I have the Chilly Winds cd and Lindsey's not listed as sharing songwriting credits. I posted about this a few months ago, but the riff Lindsey plays is also used in "That's How We Do It in L.A." From what I remember I guess they both came up with the riff and used on each of their songs since they liked it so much.

I've the Chilly Winds cd too, but there aren't any writing credits given for any of the songs.. so that doesn't say much, I think.
