[Heeplist] Outsider

Sun Dec 14 12:22:08 EST 2014

Hi Igor,
Ya your right, definitely a bad time not only for Byron but, many musicians
starting solo careers at that time.
 No doubt Byron wanted to take the path of a solo career.
 My point I wanted to make out of this was, that if you cut Byron, he would
bleed rock n roll.
What do you mean exactly by the  wording
" technically fired " Are you saying it was entirely his decision to leave ?
Do we know what really went down?
The vibe I always got from listening and reading some of Hensleys
interviews, was that it was the bands and managements decision .
I could be wrong.
