Thanks Connie, difficult to express words about Brian... I'll start by ignoring all the "stuff" about him and herald his contribution towards music in the 20th Century. Without his enthusiasm and passion for Delta Blues (and a few others) the 1960s explosion may have never happened... and if it did, minus Elmo Hopkins aid-it'd taken on a different form.
I suspect a savvy Keith caught up quite quickly... and took the reins, and has not let go since!
(hence Ron only getting 2 credits in fifty years)
'Black Limousine' and ' Hey Negrita'.
I've visited Brian's resting place a few times and feel saddened he's not here today... only imagining the contributions and collaborations he'd have made over time.
Since the loss of Charlie and the dropping of 'Brown Sugar' and changing live lyrics of 'Some Girls' and 'Sympathy for the Devil' - my passion has wained with their woke.... the first four albums are the nuggets that contain the magic of Jones.
God bless the Nanker!
