Hans Remembers- Friday August 7, 1970- 50 Years Ago.
- Christine Perfect- McVie joins Fleetwood Mac. She was married to bassist John McVie from 1968-76. I always have preferred her music to the overrated Stevie Nicks- in Fleetwood Mac.

- All hell broke loose in San Rafael, California- where a Superior Court Judge Harold Haley for Marin County was taken hostage during the criminal trial of Black Panther James McClain. Jonathan Jackson had smuggled a pistol and a carbine rifle into the courtroom then tossed the weapon to McClain who pressed the rifle against Judge Haley’s neck in order to guarantee that the weapon would discharge if anyone attempted to stop the escape. While trying to escape in a rented van they were met by a blockade of 100 law enforcement officers. McClain killed Judge Haley before dying himself in a shootout.

First time hearing about the Black Panther kidnapping then killing a judge. They leave that one out of the history books don’t they.
There’s a lot (heck of a lot) left out of his-story
I’m sure there is.
Fill us in!
I am doing a special post on Sunday called Dead 25 Years to commemorate the death of Jerry Garcia. It is a quiz and it should be fun, hope you stop by.
Will do so. I can remember that day well- I can’t believe it was 25 years ago. My first thoughts were – I was shocked- I don’t know why I was shocked it was probably a miracle he lived as long as he did. Talk about a man who didn’t take care of himself.
Sorry I adore Stevie Nicks. Her voice is so distinctive. I have been to see her live.
That’s ok- she is quite popular- I am in a minority!
I love McVie’s voice. Warm Ways is one of my favorites of hers.
‘Bare Trees’? Was that where Chris came on board. I like that album. Last FM I was into.
