THE VOICE BEHIND "LITTLE T&A"
The interview with Keith took part in the Stones rehearsal room at Long View Farm, prior to the Stones tour. Some 20 Ovation guitars lay in front of him. He can take any one he likes, was the remark from the Ovation rep. He does. Keith tells me that he hasnt bought a guitar for the past 15 years.

Slightly graying, the Keith Richards of these days is a Marboro chain smoker; as calm as ever and, despite reports, he definitely hasnt got the shakes. There were no Jack Daniels bottles or drugs in sight; in fact, he looked rather suspicious when a photographer rolled a cigarette resembling a Thai-stick. Those were the old days as far as Keith is concerned; today hes more interested in living the easy life in New York. This reflects in his speech with Yank gonnas and wannas and the occasional man. Other than that hes as British as any other English fellow living in the Big Apple.
