I’ve heard of them over and over and I do like some of their music. What was it about them that drew all of that talent in?
That is a good question…. I saw Fleetwood Mac in the early 90’s- when their daughter was in the band.. it was CSN opening for them.. in an arena probably 75% empty.
wow… The only thing I can attribute it to is their music was more open and fit the early seventies well time period well. Bonnie does have a great voice.
Cool song, never heard it until today.
