If I were Stevie & I didn't play an instrument well enough to lay down any tracks in the studio, there's no way in hell I would stick around in a studio all day for weeks & months on end. That goes beyond boredom into the realm of masochism.

Yes, even so I don't think it was at all like Tango where she was half way around the world. I think she was readily available. We'll just agree to disagree, I guess
As far as Mirage - I would have thought she was around for the French Villa recording. But then, I read somewhere that they were there for three months and only worked for a few weeks or something like that. The rest of the time was taken up with BSing and partying.

Duh. Forgot about that one. Besides SHN - any others?

I agree. I think is probably the most plausible explanation. However, I wonder if he even tried to include the others - or if he just finished things and then said, "that's it."
