Okay, Moncrieff and Hodges are my rhythm section in my band Sinai 48. Gary is also one of my closest friends, Tom not so much, but we get along fine.
Gary "Hoppy" Hodges was the drummer on the Buckingham Nicks LP and also on their one and only tour. He hung out with the Fleetwood Mac crowd until after Tusk was released. He is currently a drummer in Branson, MO. The Buckingham Nicks live tracks that were released were a gift that I got from Hoppy and posted on Nancy's site.
Tom Moncrieff was the bassist from the Buckingham Nicks tour. He was originally a roommate with Lindsey, Stevie, and Richard Dashut. He was also in Walter Egan's band and he later produced Walter Egan's albums "Hi-Fi" and "Wild Exhibitions". He was also in the Malibooz. He also worked on many demos with Stevie, namely "Gypsy" and "Sara". He also co-wrote "Golden Braid" and he played some bass on Bella Donna. He is still friends with Lindsey but not with Stevie. He's also briefly mentioned in Carol Ann's book as the "Tom" that will be with her when Lindsey leaves and she miscarries and has to toss out Walter Egan and his band. Gary is also mentioned, but not by name, as the guy at the Tusk party who jumped in the pool fully clothed. He was wearing a tuxedo apparently.
