There is no mention of Bob in Mick's book episodes about the post Welch days. The only moment he mentioned was around 1983, when he recorded I'm Not Me, but Mason didn'd participate, he just mentioned him because Mason was living at the Blue Whale.
The Blue Whale was also known in our social circle as both the Ice Palace and Hotel Hell. It was sort of like a rock and roll boardinghouse, or a boys' clubhouse for about ten people almost like an updated version of Benifols. It grew into a hangout, a meeting place for lots of people; there were tons of the old blowski on the premises, and many days and nights of lost memories. Dave Mason lived in my guest cottage, and there was much great fun and comradeship. We also recorded an album there called I'm Not Me, which was the first manifestation of the continuing enterprise known as Mick Fleetwood's Zoo.
