I liked Stu and Mac. There is a piano player by the name of Gene Taylor whom the Stones never used, but I always thought would have been a good one. They got to utilize Johnnie Johnson a bit, but it was late in his life; for most of those years they had Stu anyway, so, Johnnie wasn't so required. I have often thought perhaps they should have featured Stu a bit more, or, turn him up in the mix just a tad more. Old saying, "The more you listen to Chuck Berry, the more it becomes piano music."
