David Lindley was an American musician who founded the rock band El Rayo-X and worked with many other performers, including Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt, Ry Cooder, Bonnie Raim, Warren Zevon, Curtis Mayfield, and Dolly Parton. He mastered such a wide variety of instruments that Acoustic Guitar magazine referred to him not just as a multiinstrumentalist but instead as a ‘maxi-instrumentalist.’ On stage, Lindley was known for wearing garishly colored polyester shirts with clashing pants, gaining the nickname the ‘Prince of Polyester.’
The consignor notes that these letters come directly from the private collection of Mac Holbert, who started in the Spring of 1971 as an assistant truck driver and gopher for the Crosby & Nash Tour. In 1973 he became Graham Nash's assistant and eventually his tour manager. He also managed tours for Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Poco, America, Dwight Twilley, Peter, Paul and Mary, and Carole King, doing so through 1991. After he retired from the road, Holbert continued his business relationship with Graham Nash, as well as his friendship with this legendary trio of musicians.
