very interesting reading, thanks people!
i hope you don't mind a slight change of subject: Keith on slide. he's always discounted his own abilities as a slide player,
and at the same time his slide playing seems real distinctive, in ways that i would love to understand better if anyone feels like talking about it a bit.
a related question came up in another thread recently, but the climate/context wasn't really right to pursue it.
someone said Keith started playing slide during the Beggars sessions - by which he understood that Keith had literally never played slide before then;
i on the other hand understand it as meaning that's when his slide playing started to appear on released tracks.
i mean: i know he wasn't as fluent on slide as Brian, but wouldn't he have been working on it/honing his skills right from the very early days??
share your thoughts. and have some popcorn. :E
