The Songbird has flown

And so, another legend has departed for Fabulon...

...the uber-talented Miss Christine McVie!

Not merely the keyboardist, but the arranger, and, for many years - through thick and thin - the "glue" that held that messiest-of-messy bands Fleetwood Mac together (despite walking out on them on more than one occasion "for a quieter life") - and the songwriter (and often vocalist) of some of their most enduring numbers. These are merely three of hers:

RIP, Christine McVie (born Christine Anne Perfect, 12th July 1943 – 30th November 2022)

  1. And a major talent and artist this time. I was very saddened when I heard the news today. So many great staple songs. I may have to have some Fleetwood on the turntable this weekend me thinks.
