So, really, it makes sense to me to focus in on Christine's demos right now, if they're in such an embryonic state, as opposed to bouncing back and forth between hers and Stevie's.

Granted, I'm sure we'd all be happier if Lindsey had said, "we're working on Christine's songs now and then Stevie will join us in April or May," but I'm willing to bet that a time-table is being worked out as we speak.

It's part of their process. This is how they've operated for years and years.
