FM surviving on life support until they found Lindsey and his
girlfriend was a bit of good luck. Or better yet - providence.

On a serious note, my very best to you SteveMacD on your
health.

Thanks! I appreciate it.

Changing subjects…

If you haven’t already, you need to check Richard Thompson. He’s what I wish Lindsey was (and hope Lindsey becomes). Brilliant acoustic guitarist, awesome non-blues lead guitarist, values art over commercialism, but even more so, and isn’t married to the recorded version and the song. He turned down The Eagles before they got Joe Walsh.

He would have been my first choice. How many artsy folk acoustic/non-blues lead guitarist/songwriter/singers who have worked with two strong women, one of whom he divorced in what became his most critically acclaimed and commercially successful album are there in this world???

R&LT: Richard & Linda Thompson

R&LT/Rafferty: Richard & Linda Thompson, from the Gerry Rafferty sessions (a remake of a song recorded 6 years earlier). Clearly trying to sound like Fleetwood Mac here. And kind of did.

Otherwise, RT solo.
