They go way back to when she was Spencer Davis's girlfriend and he was the roadie for the Spencer Davis Group. There's a lot of history there. I've heard a lot of rumors, having run a Dave Mason website in the past, several suggesting that Dave was still a cocaine user, and Christine found that objectionable by that point. I've never even tried to verify that, though.
