@theo -You're welcome. Too bad that group didn't tour-Mick Fleetwood, Sammy Hagar, Michael McDonald, and Doobie Brothers members Tom Johnston, Pat Simmons, and John McFee. I would have gotten tix.

Amen to that Warfy. It would have been great if they had just done an album and a video. That was a lot of talent in one gathering.

Never heard of this orbit what ever it is but Dave Mason was the only good guitar player Traffic ever had and I'm a fan of theirs and Dave too. He was 3 mo old than me and would've turned 80 next mo not 90. R.I.P. Brother you were a good One.

@zx10 - Great opportunity to compare Mason's and Winwood's guitar stylings on Dear Mr. Fantasy, from Welcome to the Canteen. Both are playing Stratocasters. Mason is a technically powerful guitar player with more rhythmic emphasis in his solos. His arpeggio frills back-up Winwood's kinda pedestrian guitar solos.

Know it is obvious but We Just Disagree is a fantastic recording and gives great advise for this forum. RIP Dave
