Yes, before Charlie but the stones couldn't afford his salary (1962) Carlo was with Cyril Davies and the rollin' stones opening for them Shocked

; Carlo then recommended Charlie to the Stones, Charlie was Alexis Korner's drummer and was the same story, they couldn't pay his salary so they had bad and very bad drummers in the beginning. It was until early 1963 that the Stones hired Charlie

I know he was present at some of the Brian gatherings at the graveside and pub, usually during the week of July 3, I think....

These pictures were taken in 1998 in Wembley when the Stones played during the Bridges to Babylon Tour, the news with these pictures were that "Carlo Little was approached by the Rolling Stones when they were forming, Carlo declined their offer and advised them to ask Charlie Watts. Carlo now runs a burger van in Wembley"

More later

Yeah - Carlo got a bit of media coverage around the time of the Stones' Wembley shows in '99. The press obviously loved the story of him running a burger stall while the Stones were playing to 140,000 people in two shows just up the road. It was good publicity for him and the band he was still playing with at the time and to his eternal credit, he used it in a very positive manner. It was great that he also got to meet the Stones again as a result of it.
