In 1975, Ron was subbing for Mick Edwards, who later that year, quit. Charlie liked him, keith wanted him to stay, and mick was cool with it. I'm just glad Charlie watts is felling better after his surgery (Doctors found out he had throat cancer in 2004). Wouldn't have been a real concert without his drum solos.

Tribute concerts can be fun to attend, but generally don¬ít make good albums, or films. The recently released DVD, Return to Sin City: A Tribute to Gram Parsons, is a partial exception for one reason and, finally, one reason only:…

I spose he's a real Stone, ever since Mick finally agreed to take him off wages. Still, while he's a survivor, he's not a founder, which is a helluva credential. After three decades, apparently he's still called "the new boy", and for this reason has to write the track-list up on Charlie's kit before each gig. I dunno about Melbourne or anywhere else James, but the band has always been right in the slot in Sydney - especially of late, but also back in the summer of 72-73, despite whatever the deluded Mr Paxton burbles on about.<!-- X-spaminator-strike: whitelist, -10 --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: IP check --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: email check --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: author check --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: author url --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: comment body --> I think Ronnie is a pixie.

If Mick has allowed him a percentage, I think we can. I suppose the cances of a Perth gig over the next couple of years is remote. If I have to fly east where should I fly to?

Probably not. Perhaps if they’d bludged horse off a real country musician instead of Gram Parsons things might have been so different ….

It does sound like he's singing banjo, doesn't it? I'm therefore mightily relieved to report that Mick actually sings "band is".
