Fritz

Lindsey met Stevie Nicks in high school and later formed The Fritz Rabyne Memorial Band with her and three other friends. Lindsey's fingerpicking style gave him difficulty playing rock guitar, and he was transferred to bass. After gaining popularity at Menlo-Atherton High School, "Fritz" became a popular local act and even opened for such acts as Santana, Jimi Hendrix, and Janis Joplin.

After cutting some demos with Fritz for producer Keith Olsen, Lindsey and Stevie struck out on their own, and Fritz disbanded in 1971. Lindsey and Stevie became an item, dropping out of San Jose State to puruse a career making music together. In this time Lindsey was stricken with a case of mono, giving him the free time to master his guitar techniques even further.
