John has an inventive melodic sense. I like the way he & Christine intertwine on songs like Angel (Nicks) & Sands of Time, to the point that the less experienced listeners don't know whether they're listening to the bass or to the electric piano. I think those two borrowed licks from each other, & taught each other different approaches. I also think that John helped improve Christine's shuffle. You can hear it improve in major steps: in 1973, & then again in 1976.
