Congratulations to all.

The "A" (along with her sister Theodora) in "Little T & A". How fast they grow up.

Is this correct? The song is older than the girls, no?

Song is from 81, the girls 85/86

Ah, my bad. I recall hearing that it was his daughter's favorite song.

Congrats to couple. I’m actually shocked that Charlie was there. The tour ended a week ago and I would have thought he’d fly home immediately.

I wonder if Shirley Watts was there?

I´m late then....

you did not give me a chance Alexandra...

mick was invited, but only to the evening buffet.

so he declined.

sausage rolls and chicken wings didnt appeal.

Bourbon marinated chicken wings too ….

Once the girls came along, then they became Little T & A - but the song existed first. An interesting question is whether the names were chosen to fit the song?

Alexandra sent him an invitation and he politely declined He was scheduled for film promotions.

My initials were L.T A. They recorded the song a few months after I was at his house. Other songs too. I've always assumed it was secretly about me because I'd told him it was time for me to return to California, to UC Berkeley, which he associated with feminists who years before protested their Black and Blue album on billboards.I thought that by putting my initials in a T&A song he'd think he'd rile me up so much I'd return to NY and say something like,"How dare you?!" which is kind of what happened.

At his house the first time were characters that could be in the song. Anita was yelling at Keith. I don't blame her, she heard him tell me they were sort of separated. Fred introduced himself by saying, "I've been in the cocaine business 20 years!" Keith got mad and told Freddy I wasn't interested in cocaine. Then we all went back to listening to Elvis Presley's Sun Sessions.

Very interesting, chatoyancy

BTW, do you know why the song was nicknamed "Bulldog" in 1979, before the lyrics were fully developed?

I would have guessed Spanish Tony or even Cathy Smith for "the dealer's squealing" rather than Freddie. I honestly thought it was a reference to UP AND DOWN WITH THE ROLLING STONES. If Cathy has a Keith song, it's "Robbed Blind."

Just educated guesses, of course. I wasn't there.

Chatoyancy, your posts are amazing. Do you have any pics from all these years of hanging out with the Stones? We'd love to see!

What a beautiful photo:

She looked beautiful and so happy! She looks exactly like her mother in the pic where they are walking together down the aisle after the ceremony.

Wasn't looking too good, but I was feeling real well.

Agreed. I thought she was the spitting image of her Mom on her wedding day in 1983.
