Early days, but my Brian Jones book focusing on the music side of things is slowly coming together.

All good stuff HM. Were does your fascination with Brian come from may I ask ?
Listening to The Rolling Stones and gradually learning that a lot of the bits I liked were played by him.

His MajestyJust as quickly as he declined on guitar , had he lived , he could have regained it.For he was a young man when he died.And his mellotron work in 1967-1968 was great, pointing the way to people like Eno and U2Quote

Thank god it's not about him being 'murdered'. Thank god we had The Rolling Stones 1965, and On the Air so we could hear some new Brian recordings. Yet, it shows how quickly he declined on guitar. His feel was unparalleled, especially on slide, and he wasted those precious talents.

Some interesting related listening...
Some or all of the lead guitar heard here was played by Ian Cruickshank aka Spit James. Ian was one of the musicians Brian actively sought out for his post Rolling Stones group. We know this thanks to a telegram sent by Peter Swales to Ian on 2nd July 1969.
