he was the head of the backline for twenty years and made the gears work for the stones for all that time, he was an incredible person and incredible friend
Didn't he join the Stones entourage when Ronnie joined the Stones? I think he had a high sense of responsibility, which made his job a tough one. His passing came far too early. Chuch Magee, not to be forgotten!
I remember his passing. Wasn't it around that time, that the Steel Wheels out-takes materialised? The cassettes were in his possession, if I recollect correctly.
