I must admit a bit of curiosity.
 
Now what I am wondering ... if EC's usually quoted "Blue Moon" as his solo in 
"Sunshine of Your Love", does this mean that when he plays on "Blue Moon" 
that he'll insert "Sunshine of Your Love"? It would only be fair.

Since you brought this up ... what I have always wondered, if anyone can shed some
light on this, is why *Pete Townshend* was not involved. Given his work with Ronnie
Lane that he has always said was some of his favorite material, I am somewhat 
surprised that PT was not there. Any info on this?

I would agree but let's face it, EC certainly paved the way for aging has-been Brit
rockers to descend into the abyss of mediocrity.  "Blue Eyes Blue" anyone?
