what ever happened to Richard Dashut?... I mean I wonder why he wasnt involved with this project..... a few years back I emailed him and he wrote me back a very nice full letter answering all my questions and adding some He spoke so fondly of Lindsey and of how great the experience was doing "out of the cradle " with him.. I thought for sure Richard would be on this record....

However I still don't understand why Richard has not involved with FM since the 'Time' album, or LB since 'OOTC'

Even the official site spells Lindsey's name wrong! Ack!

I remember reading somewhere that Lindsey and Richard Dashut had something of a disagreement sometime after Out Of The Cradle and before The Dance. I don't know how serious it was but it has obviously affected their relationship. If I recall correctly it was sometime during the early Gift Of Screws period, maybe they had the old chestnut of "musical differences"

This may of been around the time of the fabled story that Lindsey submitted a new album with the OOTC Touring Band to the record label and the label refused to release it as it was not commercial enough.
This may have been enough for Lindsey to try and branch out on his own in the producer chair.

It is a shame if this is indeed true, as one we miss out on another Lindsey album and two, the great producing and co-writing between Lindsey and Richard comes to an end.

I wish we knew for sure about this album. Can anyone elaborate?
