Did you meet Spencer Davis some time after?

In fact, I met and had Spencer sign it not too long ago.  My main concern in retrospect is the Winwood signature.  I understand that long ago, before he switched to his SW in a circle signature, he used to sign long hand.  Similar to this.

Hi - sorry to say the long hand Steve Winwood is not genuine. Both the "teve" and the Winwood are almost identical replicas of each other. I own rushed full Steve Winwoods and unrushed Winwoods and all share the same characteristics, but none like this example. A true Winwood has:

1. A distinctive S for Steve

2. The d at the end of his name is generally looped back to form an underline.

The vast majority of Winwood autograph examples on Google search images are also not legitimate.

Bonus fact: The SW shorthand signature is generally done in America as there are so many more fans en masse to sign for - in the UK he reverts back to the fuller version...great example below for comparison

I've got a few in person from him in the UK in recent years and they are all SW. One of those times, I was the only person there and he chatted and the graphs were totally unrushed.
