The band wanted me to expand my role and have a little more freedom, so he played some organ behind me, but he didn't play the same way I did. I may not play very well, but I play it the way it suits the band."

Thanks for this. I actually started this thread, years ago. It's all potentially ambiguous, isn't it? What does "carry" mean in the context of Christine's quote? It's only of an academic, nerdy insterest but I kind of think that Doug was a member of Fleetwood Mac, however briefly. Others will disagree.
