Really sad story here about the fiddle player from Country Honk. Hopefully, it will be a story of late life re-connection with old friends and community rallying. I saw him years ago in a little town in NorCal called Newcastle, with my buddy Jimmy Whitley (Cardinal Fang from Rocks Off). They were fantastic. Best wishes to him.

QuoteMonsoon Ragoon Quotestonehearted On an Eric Clapton site there is a set list of 12 songs for the gig, along with the names of who played on each track. In addition, it mentions a bootleg recording under the title "The Rolling Stones & Friends – Ian Stewart Memorial (Label Unknown – 1 CD)". From: That CD would be a sensation.

Fascinating stuff scottkeef. I asked Chris Charlesworth of Melody Maker and he asked his friend Andy Neil.
