How did you come across this?

So that is what happened to the bassist from one of the all time great rock bands! I can picture Bill walking along the beach in his Bermuda shorts and long black socks, metal detector in hand searching for lost treasure!

I remember seeing this years ago when I asked "what ever happened to Bill Wyman now that he doesn't play for the Stones" and this was the answer I got.

I thought it was software to test if he played fretted bass on a track.

lol, wouldn't be surprised- I remember reading something a few years ago about the Stones' taking time out of their day to compare attendance records with Pink Floyd, like it matters or something.

I can't see Roger Waters or David Gilmour participating in such an exercise- they were too busy making good music.
