I stumbled upon this interview from 2001 while trolling around the internet. This must be the same David Isaacs who was in the In the Meantime credits.

When you went to England to write with Fleetwood's Christine McVie, how was that, tell us everything about that ?
First of all, I LOVE CHRISTINE. She is one of the warmest, sweetest, funniest, and obviously most talented people that I can ever imagine meeting. Chris and I have such a wonderful time whenever we are together. . .it's a joke. I met Chris through Robbie Patton, and it was instant lifelong friendship. The first day we hung out, we spent the entire day singing around the piano. We would take turns playing, and eventually we played the entire Fleetwood Mac catalogue, not to mention the Beatles and so many others. It was hysterical - we would do duets with me singing as Sting and her as Stevie Nicks. Talk about a blast !! What makes matters even more special is that I have it all on video tape. What an extraordinary dream come true. Perhaps, the coolest and most surreal part was when Chris sat at the piano and played and sung my song "Just A Little More Time." To see her just sit down and play it without me prompting her was unbelievable ! She's a wonderful person. I love her, and her family. They really have made me feel at home with them, and I look forward to seeing them all again very soon. As far as this last trip goes. . . .well, we were riddled with problems. We had technical problems with gear and all kinds of other stuff going on. We did get some things started and I'm certain that we will continue to work together soon.

Great find! After reading the article, I wonder if David inspired her song "Come Out to Play".

The interview is from 2001. I don't know exactly when (or even what year) Chris started writing songs since leaving the band, so maybe it could be a little before that.

Here's more on David and his contributions to ITM. From 2006...

McVie, whom he met through one of his producers, Robbie Patton (who co-wrote Fleetwood Mac's "Hold Me" with McVie), asked him to sing back-up on her solo album In The Meantime. "Not only is she an incredible talent, she is an inspiration, and now an honorary member of my family. When she decided to make a new album, she was kind enough to ask me to sing background vocals on a song of my choice. After I did one, she just kept sending more tracks, and soon I sang on about half of the album.

I wonder if he's the same guy who did the booming backup vocals in Bad Journey, then?
