Kids in a candy store, really.

Yeah.

Oh, I never thought of that.

You know, they asked Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman, the two reluctant interviewees in the backstage at some enormous stadium, and Charlie and Bill shuffle in and the guy says, how come you two are such the best rhythm section in the world?

And Charlie said, no, I don't know, we just play together.

And it's one of those trite answers that you can't... I played to enjoy it.

I played because I was only 24, 25 at the time.

I was in awe of Al Jackson Jr.

But I had that muscularity because I wanted to lay down something that was solid, like a cinder block.

And we always played in studios that were not studios.

We rented a house.

We had Hedley Grange.

Then Clearwell Castle, which was a castle on the border of Wales.

So we each had our own room.

So the separation between the instruments... Is that what it was?

Maybe.

And all our albums were done in non-studio.

Ronnie Lane or the Rolling Stones mobile.

Yeah.
