Could it be a case of Stevie overload at that point? Or just SOS POP FM in general?
Alas, I'm such a dinasour from the days of yore that I still long for that special instrumental offering(s) we used to get with nearly every FM project of the past. As noted earlier, not -ONE- since Buckingham took the helm AFAIK! Yikes.

Which is odd, as
Buckingham Nicks has two instrumentals....

Billy was an obvious choice because he knew the others pretty well.
Maybe because he was also more malleable, you know, more of a no make waves team player?

Maybe a little. But, he was already showing that he was willing to be a team player and that he had the talent to be on the team. But he was not as malleable as Rick Vito. Both, and Bekka for that matter, were a little too passive about fighting for their vision. But then they were going into a situation with very difficult emotions amongst the band. Bob Welch got lucky in that he got three albums before any real expectations were put on his shoulders.

Actually, Billy was going to be on the Tango tour even if Lindsey had stayed.
Where did you hear that? Lindsey to spearhead a dual axe attack? Proof or FAIL.

About ten years ago, a very handsome man, now prone to indie rock, asked Billy out-right about it...

Okay, a few more questions (though I bet Steve D. by now has already asked a couple of these). I vaguely recall reading somewhere that even if Lindsey hadn't left in 1987, you were probably going to be asked to at least be a backing guitarist/vocalist on the 1987 tour. Is that true? (Steve MacDougall, Columbus, Ohio, USA)
Yes, that is what Mick talked about.
