Hi Gerald,
I believe Lindsey actually knew the Curtis Brothers before being involved with the Mac, so it seems plausible that he was familiar with the song as it was being created, even before it was selected for the white album. Ex-Fritz bandmate Bob Aguirre played with the Curtis Brothers. When Bob did his Q&A here at the Penguin I asked him about his involvement with the Curtis Brothers and he said the following:
Q - I read an article many years ago that left the impression on me that you drummed for the Curtis Brothers in the 70s. Is that right? If so, how long were you involved with them? Did you play a role in writing and bringing "Blue Letter" to Lindsey's (and Fleetwood Mac's) attention for inclusion on the 1975 Fleetwood Mac album?
A - Lesley, you sure know you`re stuff. Yes I played with the Curtis boys and by the way we recorded an album of some really good songs that never got released. And yes, LB did help out on some of those tracks. Actually LB was already friends of the Curtis Bros. before the Mac and introduced me to them.
