Seeing odd ideas lately from a few prominent musicians on ‘liberty’ and ‘freedom.’ I’d say not being on a ventilator wondering if you’re about to take your last breath helps maintain both concepts. Also, being actually alive works well, too.

This little tour was a treat. One soundcheck I was running ‘Change Is Gonna Come’ and Croz practically insisted I include it in my set, which I did. Also, Graham Nash would join me onstage & sing harmony on my slow version of ‘Substitute.” Good blokes.
RIP, David.❤️

Some fella palmed this to me when I was ending my show at City Winery, NY. I’ll be calling an old friend from the early 70’s soon who has an 8-Track in his motor. I’m betting he’s still got that car so I might have a listen to this.😃

Doing it for Nicky.
From what I’ve seen it’s going to be good.
We're currently making a documentary called 'The Session Man' about the life and career of the late, legendary session rock pianist, Nicky Hopkins. If you knew him personally or worked with him, we would love to hear from you, so please get in touch: admin

It was in a Beverly Hills bank as I recall. A release party for one of MJ’s Records? Think so. Me & Lena (& her fella Les) somehow fetched up there. I told him I’d covered ‘I Want You Back’ recently. He appeared not to understand.

I was signed to Atlantic in 1987 but argued fiercely with Ahmet Ertegun insisting that producers were stuck in an 80’s mentality & I needed to stop this and produce myself. Atlantic dropped me & RCA picked me up. The result? The Mona Lisa’s Sister. I was right.

I’ll always remember seeing Christine with the great Chicken Shack, especially at the Gin Mill club in Godalming, standing below the lip of the stage marvelling at how she could sing the blues whilst still sounding like an English girl and playing such elegant piano.
