Default Maybe you should write "the real story":

Sorry. Disgusted.
Since others have asked before me I think you should write a book about your professional career, including the years in Fleetwood Mac. You were certainly a valuable asset for the recent Peter Green documentary. Your recollections were certainly more acute than those of Fleetwood, and McVie. McVie was really out to lunch, though I don't blame him for what he's been through.

Concerning the Roundhouse Chalk Farm concert, the preserved recording falls in line with Dinky's recollections performance wise, it's a good one. You have a problem with Dinky concerning "The Green Manalishi" sessions. According to your story in the Green documentary, you were the person who suggested recording in the underground car park for the scary echo effect as heard in the song. Dinky claims you weren't there. I guess you've been painted as the bad guy by certain people for Green's early departure. Don't worry, I don't believe you are to blame.
