Dave Mason
Chris Briggs, ZigZag, March 1974
WHAT DO WE really know of Dave Mason – his disagreements with Winwood, ructions with record companies and his move to America is about all. His recorded output has been minimal while law suits have further aggravated his career. The last we saw of him in England were half a dozen under-rehearsed gigs with Traffic that became Welcome To The Canteen, for posterity only.
