I've really been enjoying Ron Wood's recent autobiography, "Ronnie". It's a great, light read with some pretty cool stories featuring lots of Woody's famous friends.

Woody writes about when The Stones were in New York in 1977 or 1978 (he seems a little unclear about some dates) and John Lennon came over for some drugs. When they got thrown out of the hotel for making too much noise, Woody, Keith, and Charlie, with John and Yoko, "moved the party to Atlantic Records".

According to Woody, "we started jamming, and the jam was taped (it's probably locked in the Atlantic vaults these days). We were going through a songbook of early soul and early Beatles catalog. We were all singing, playing, harmonizing...". But eventually John "fell asleep" (you'll have to see the book for details), and "had to be carried out." "We carried on recording without him".

Very entertaining stuff - reserve it now at your local library!
