Dave Mason RIP

[felser]

'Alone Together' is a GREAT album, and he did some good (though admittedly spotty) work before (with Traffic) and after.

That multi-colored dic looked so good, I wanted to take a bite out of it!

I'm glad he managed to tell his side of things in his autobiography "Only You Know and I Know", which I read last year. It was no secret that he was very ill.
He and Winwood couldn't see eye to eye on the creation of Traffic's songs.He would piss Winwood off to no end when he brought in his songs written alone without the input of Winwood, Capaldi or Wood.
When "Hole In My Shoe" became a huge hit in the UK, that prompted DM's first firing from Traffic.

It turned out to be the best thing that could happen to DM. He came to the US and finally got recognition for his fine singing, songwriting and guitar playing
RIP
