This is the most famous AND the greatest mandolin solo of all time! One of the reasons I even started to listen to that style of music and begin to play that instrument....thanks Ray!

Ray was a member of the musicians union and the pay was what it was. The travesty was, RS not taking the time to look up his name for the liner notes. I assure you there is/was a log with who played on that famous song. All he had to do was ask.
@albarnes64212 жыл бұрын
Stewart knew exactly who he was, Lindisfarne had a a number eight and number one album by the time Every Picture Tells a Story was recorded. He was explicitly recruited to play mandolin on Mandolin Wind on the album. He was then requested to write and play the mandolin hook an Maggie May. Stewart isn't a nice bloke.

Little did we know at the time that Ray wrote and performed on "Maggie May" . I hope you have and enjoy many more years, Ray!!
