The was also a record company big wig with them as well if memory serves me correctly.
I want to say it was Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Chris Blackwell, but I'm not sure.

That's correct. Chris Blackwell is the head of Island Records (the label U2 is on), Margaritaville Records was a label started under the auspices of Island.

No apologies necessary.
Doesn't matter...for me...
it truly is the thought that
counts.

Thank you for the awesome gesture, my dear
friend. :)
