Episode 78: Ian McLagan interviews (May '01 and December '03)

This episode contains two phone interviews with Ian McLagan. Mac, as he was known, was a member of the Small Faces. When Steve Marriott left the band to form Humble Pie with Peter Frampton, The Small Faces hired on Ronnie Wood (Rolling Stones) and Rod Stewart; thus becoming The Faces. When The Faces broke up in '75, Mac toured as a sideman to The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Bonnie Raitt, Rod Stewart, and Billy Bragg. I got to know him a bit through the interviews. We met several times including a four-day spree at South-By-Southwest. He was a delightful man and it was a joy to get to know him a bit. Other members of the band included drummer Kenny Jones played with The Who for a bit. Bassist Ronnie Lane did a duets album with Pete Townshend (while living in his back garden at The Twixt). Ronnie Wood joined the Rolling Stones, and Rod Stewart focused on his solo career.
