To answer Duke Richardson's query, The Rightful Laird of Pittenweem is what Stu used to refer to himself as, according to Keef in "Life". "Laird" is just the Scottish way of saying "Lord".

Not quite. "The term ‘laird’ has generally been applied to the owner of an estate, sometimes by the owner himself or, more commonly, by those living and working on the estate. It is a description rather than a title, and is not appropriate for the owner of a normal residential property, far less the owner of a small souvenir plot of land. It goes without saying that the term ‘laird’ is not synonymous with that of ‘lord’ or ‘lady’." The Lord Lyon, 2012

Wow, that's me telt! Marvelous piece of pedantry there.
I'm pretty sure he wasn't really a "Laird" or a "Lord" - it was a just a title he jokingly gave himself.
A few more great suggestions for songs, although I think I'll probably not have Star Star blasting from the minibus. Might get a few complaints from the more sensitive tourists!
Oh dear dear Tele b aka Drambo. His Lairdship has not taken kindly to your treasonable statement and wishes that you know a price must be paid - a double measure of Lagavulin on your next visit to the Broon Coo should suffice.Quote

No, he wasn't a Laird - it was a joke (I know the "Laird of Lochwinnoch" and he's not a real Laird either).

Anyway the parish of Pittenweem annual Arts Festival relies heavily on live music therefore Mr Watts and Mr Wood give Jools a call and head for Pittenweem. Festival dates 2015 1st to 9th August.

I'm a long time lurker, first time poster. I wonder if I could have a few suggestions for Stu's finest recorded moments with the band.
I work as a tour guide in Scotland, driving a minibus and giving commentary on the places we visit to tourists from all over the world. I also select music to play on the tours, which has to be Scottish or have a Scottish connection (sometimes a fairly tenuous one!).
When passing through Pittenweem, Fife on the way to St Andrews, I regail my guests with Stu's story. The vast majority have never heard of him of course but find the story quite interesting. I had to decide to pick which Stones song to put on my playlist, and felt it had to be one where Stu's piano is at its best and most prominent. I had to check the musician's credits on all of the old albums to make sure I wasn't including a Nicky Hopkins or Billy Preston track. Bit of a problem for Tattoo You but I picked one of the earlier songs in the end - Down The Road Apiece. Great boogie-woogie piano coming out of one speaker from the rightful Laird of Pittenweem, and quite high up in the mix too.
Any other suggestions? I can add another couple of songs to give myself a bit of variety.

No...these five songs were recorded in March 1963 at I.B.C. Sound Recording Studios in London.
1. Diddley Daddy
2. Road Runner
3. Bright Lights, Big City
4. Honey What's Wrong
5. I Want to Be Loved
You can find it on Youtube. I recommend it -- it's pretty much "must hear" stuff.

Hi 2120, those 5 songs were from the first ever Stones recording session in London. From what I've read, these songs were the ones that Brian was most proud of and would play them for friends in later years. They wouldn't record at Chess until 1964 - when Keith met Muddy Waters painting the studio
One of the first Stones bootlegs I ever bought, Bright Lights Big City.

Check out this priced-to-sell Ronnie Lane DVD from German TV. Not only a great moment from Ronnie, but Stu is the piano player. If, like me, you've only seen Stu in blink-and-you-miss-it glimpses in Stones vids, you're in for a treat. There are a number of lingering shots of him working the eighty-eights.
