"We played a couple of nights at the Concord Pavilion in San Francisco, yet another spectacular outdoor amphitheater facing up over a few rows of seats and beyond a grasssy hill. While there, we got word that J.J. Cale was playing a small late gig on the night of our second show. We had listened to his music incessantly back in early days and it was partly through a common love of his music that my friendship with Mark was forged. We finished our show and hurried over the Gold Gate Bridge to a tiny venue in Sausalito. There were people standing on tables, and we pressed into the throng for a better view of the great man. It was just J.J. with hisguitar and a guy on a Hammond organ playing the bass notes with his feet. It's the simplicity of the music, the easy rhythm, the restrained emotion, the deep humility of a true out-and-out music man that,for me, makes him one of the greats. Toward the end, J.J. invited Mark to play a coupld of tracks with him, and it was touch to see the frontman of what had been called the biggest band in the world looking so delighted as he climbed on to the stage. Sadly, there was no room on stafe for anyone else. Of all the people in the world I'd have loved to play with, it is J.J. Cale."
