I don't remember that she said anything about who played on who's songs, but yes, she wasn't very happy about his presence. Oddly, she never even mentioned Bekka Bramlett. Just remember, Christine and Dave go back even before her Chicken Shack days. Christine was dating Spencer Davis, and the pair discovered Steve Winwood. Mason was a roadie for the Spencer Davis Group, which is how he met Steve Winwood. Winwood and Mason formed Traffic with Jim Capaldi and saxophonist Chris Wood, who was in Christine's first band, Shades of Blue. In any event, Christine obviously sided with Stevie in the Winwood-Mason clash. In any event, I think she wasn't holding back because she had already left the band. If you notice, Mick referrs to Steve Thoma as a member of the band in an AOL chat later that night.
