If someone can tell me a simple way of posting a photo here, I can finally show the photo I finally had properly scanned of Mick & me.

Get a photo sharing account, I use photobucket, but there are plenty out there. Upload the pic onto the site from your computer, then just cope and paste the link here. If I can figure it out mickschix, you sure can!

Cool story caschimann, thanx for sharing
I wish I had taken care of the amp better over the years but you can still read it. I won't retrace it, I figure it will fade when I fade. After he used it I grease marked the knobs to the settings keith dialed in but a tech cleaned it when it was re-tubed which was really unnecessary.Quote

I had the luxury to hire Nicky Hopkins for a recording session before I had much experience. He was flown in from LA and we recorded him on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. We being kids directed him like crazy. "Play it more like TWFNO" and stuff like that. He obliged, told us an arm full of tales and then announced he had done all he could do for the recording. We then asked him to play B-3 on another tune and he hesitated, saying it's not what he normally does. Still he obliged with a few takes. I doubt this was his last recording session, circa 1986??? but it had to be one of them. Yes, he was way cool, played beautifully and an archetypical pro session man. I am honored to have spent an afternoon with him. RIP
Strange question, D&G, but was this by chance a Belinda Carlisle session?
how freakin great. both your personal encounter and the song. got totally hooked with it.Quote

But when Ronnie did a signing for his autobiography in NYC on Halloween '07, I told him that the "Miss Judy's Farm" riff was the filthiest thing I'd ever heard. He stopped signing, stood up, and grabbed my hand with both of his and started shaking it furiously while yelling "Yeah, man! Yeah! Thanks! Great! Yeah!" I just smiled and nodded like an idiot. It was probably the best conversation I've ever had, come to think of it.

Keith once talked to me.
One sentence.
September 2003 Twickenham
I stood 1st row, Section A2, Keith side.
The show began.
And from the first second on, Keith was looking at me.
Giving me a smile.
Nodding in my direction.
Gave me a wink. And another.
Through the whole first song.
I thought: Yes!! After standing FOS so many years now, since 1982, he finally is recognizing me. As the fan and friend I am. Backstage must be next. Go for a drink after the show with him etc.
And he kept on doing it through the second song.
And also the third.
Meanwhile I got nervous. And irritated. How Keith can know me so good??
And then I saw it: The Lady beside me - very attractive in her starting fourties or so, looking a bit like a Rock´n Roll version of Lady Di - was reacting to all his stuff.
And now I realized - to my dissapoinment, and a bit to my relief at the same time Keith was not looking at me, he was looking at her right beside me.
"He´s giving you all the signs and looks", I asked her.
"Yes", she said, "I´m his cousin!"
"OooH...", I went.
"Yes", she went on, "Our whole family is here, even his auntie."
She pointed to a lady standing also right in front of stage beside her.
I could´nt believe my eyes: That lady was a old grandma, waving towards Keith all the time.
"She´s 85!", Keith cousin smiled at me.
In this very moment, a stupid guy who danced like a freak to the songs, pushed that old lady very hard in her back.
She was pressed to the FOS-barrier very hard.
And the dancing freak didn´t even noticed.
I grabbed him, pushed him back, told him to stop it and not to come any nearer again to this area.
I´m 6 foot 8 tall - so I can make my point clear if I really need to.
Keith saw all that, while playing. When the third song finished he came immediately to the edge of the stage, looking at the old lady:
"Everything allright auntie?", he shoutet.
"Yeah", she belted back, and then pointing at me "he´s taking care of me."
And the Keith looked at me, a short but deep look: "Allright, thanks for that man!"
And then...on with the show.
I felt part of the Richards family for two hours :-))
