When the Hawk first toured around southern Ontario with the Band, he made them practise steady. 1 night he gave Robbie hell for gettin' too much "string" noise on the guitar. Robbie said, "even Segovia gets string noise." the Hawk answered, "yes, and that's why he ain't in my band."......f'n classic.

Wish I'd known Ronnie- THANKS FOR THOSE ANECDOTES- POST ANY, OTHER FOLKS MUST HAVE A TALE- "that's why he ain't in MY band"- love it and Robbie- great minds think I would have said the SAME THING, love Segovia ( not the point) and Ronnie's temper! Did it match his heart, his mirthful heart? Bet it could! Namaste from Canada
