Charlie Watts comes out to play with Keith Richards and me.

Photo by Gered Mankowitz This was one of the rare occasions when Charlie Watts wasn’t on the phone with his wife, Shirley and came out to play with Keith Richards and me. When I paid the hotel bills on the 1965 Rolling Stones US tour, the largest charge on Charlie’s hotel room was for long distance phone calls to Shirley.
