With all the technological advances in music over the last 15 years (i.e. digital hard drive recording, etc), he's probably had to learn a LOT of stuff. It may be that things that used to take a lot longer to do no longer require as much time due to these advances in technology. Look how quickly he was able to produce this new FM album (Stevies songs, etc) compared to how long it has historically taken him to do his solo albums. It's only been a couple of years. I mean, I realize this is all just specualtion, but these are my contentions based on what I've seen and heard.

Hello and welcome, David.
I agree Lindsey's still got plenty of music and energy left in him, and that he's totally not doing it for the $$, and that we are far from hearing/seeing the last of Mr. Buckingham. I also agree with Christy about Stevie...she'll be recording till she's 80...and I'm sure we will hear-- at the very least-- another album with the two of them on it, with or without Mick, John and/or Christine.
However, I disagree that it's no longer as time consuming to make music. If you read that guitar player magazine interview with Lindsey, he admits he still uses tape, not recording software
. I don't think he was all that quick to produce Stevie's music this time, at least not any faster than he's done in the past. I don't think Stevie's music has ever taken him very long to work with. It seems he just instinctively knows what to do with it! But as optimistic as I am, I don't think Lindsey's own music output pace is going to get much speedier. I think the fact that he's got two young children is an acceptable excuse. It would make sense that he would have learned enough to speed up the pace, but even if he has, I think he'll always do the studio hermit thing and take years playing with a song till its music to his ears.
