I loved another woman

[Col Mustard]

*laughs... I don't mind... I posted the darn thing, just for fun. It's unusual to get a decent picture of something crazy happening onstage.

she was extremely drunk. and she and her entourage were annoying the people around them too, not just the performers, if I remember right. usually something like this gets you the sympathy of the rest of the crowd, unless they're all like that. I think Davie was singing "Hey Good Lookin'' and she just couldn't stand not being in on it... I imagine she was convinced that ol' Hank Williams wrote that song about her, and that Davie was singing it just for only her... we've all met fans like that. She's positive it's her song... Female performers have to deal with that even more so... obsessed fans can and will get right in your face.

what brought that up was a number of remembrances from different members about difficult gigs, and difficult audience members. I enjoyed all that, and I really enjoyed reading how Moose has been exploring the old recordings of Fleetwood Mac's early years. Pretty interesting music, their whole career. I was fan of theirs since the first time I heard their music in like 1968. Living in Michigan, we didn't get all the cutting edge stuff until long after everybody in the big cities did. I think Fleetwood Mac was playing bars until they got a hit with Albatross. They paid their dues.
If you listen to all their different phases, you'll hear the one common thread is Mick Fleetwood's drumming together with John McVie's bass. Guitarists come and go, chick singers who write hits etc... but with that drum & bass foundation, you can put almost anything on top and it's likely to sound good. IMHO

Great posts and contributions in this thread, thanks to everyone.

I just updated my post to include clicking the left mouse button for the action described in the previous quote. Either that, or you need a new computer Barry. That Commodore 64 is a bit obsolete for the internet, don't you think?!

Hey man, I happen to have an extensive computer system that I am always adding the latest technology to. Below is the room I added to the back of the house when I needed to add extra memory.http://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=...JRQLGW0RDNMSUnoHCcsI6ixg&ust=1360991069242503



My living room is filled with so many computer components that I don't even need to turn the heat on in the winter!



On busy days when I am working hard on posting things to our forum, I have some family & neighbors come over to help out by maning some stations that add more speed and memory to my already awesome system!


I've even installed a touch screen on my bathroom shower doors & mirror over the sink so I can be posting to ESG when I am in my favorite 'power room'. Yes I wash my hands and always close the lid before flushing to keep the toilet misting from gettin on the screens. A DUH!


I know, I get that a lot but its really me. Hey TC looks like me ok!?! I cant help that.


Hey, even when I'm sleeping I'm set up & ready to roll out of bed to post those REM induced breakthroughs on the net.


So why your stupid hammer trick doesn't work can not be blamed on my high tech computer super system not being 'good enough' OK buddy!?. I think you made the whole 'Hammer' thing up and there ain't no clickin on nuthin is there? Huh? What? Huh? Ya, cant fool us Catskill Mountain folk, for long, sometimes.

PS.
I still really want to hit her with the hammer! Make it happen will ya. I'll love ya foreva.

It's not working because the hammer image is merged into the main image,
so it's all one single image.

Your lying Sarge! Liar liar, pants on fire!!! Take out that lying dogear in your thing of beauty and replace it with a Truthbucker pick up...hurry!

I finally got a chance to sit and give this a real listen. Sounds great! The SG could be a little louder, though. (I've never said that before!)

Danny Kirwan was just as much responsible for this sound. A great counterpoint to Green and wrote some great material. Where is he now?

I don't know where he is now but I read Mick Fleetwood's autobiography many years ago and I remember that Peter, Danny and Jeremy Spencer all lost their minds. Really sad stuff. If I recall correctly, Danny couldn't take the stress of constant touring and was found bashing his own head into a brick wall until it was covered in blood. I hope he's found peace, somewhere, somehow.

That was a good read. You never hear as much about Danny Kirwan as you do Peter Green. Lot's of detailed info in that biography. It was interesting to read about his mental health but at the same time I found it depressing.

I've created a playlist of Danny's tunes. He was (i.e. doesn't play any more apparently) a great guitarist/song writer and the stand out musician after Peter Green left the band. He really had some unique tunes and unusual inspiration, 20s-30s music (I haven't heard but its easy to imagine jigsaw blues played by clarinet).

My favourite from his catalog is Dragonfly.

 

[sgtbeefheart]

it's on an early Fleetwood Mac LP... maybe from 1968-9 or so when it was still "Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac" ...long before the Christine McVie era, and even longer before the Buckingham/Nicks era. Green plays it slower than I do, and with soooooo much finesse in the right hand.

and then there's Gary Moore's cover of this... a whole 'nother world. I just do what I can do and don't worry. *grins

Sounds like you are very familiar with Danny Kirwan compared to me. His story and Peter Green's sounds very intriguing. I'll have to check some YouTube videos of him. I'm always on YouTube checking out other musicians, concerts, and so forth. Just reading some of the info on his past and his alcoholism hit a nerve with me, since I suffer from depression and at times, alcoholism myself. It feels like I'm reading a biography on myself. Depression is something that can rob your life. I don't want to end up like Danny Kirwan, even though I feel like I'm headed in that direction.

Yep. Been there, smashed a couple of guitars too. Didn't play for 24 years.

You've just given me a revelation BlackSG91. I would often go into guitar stores and look at cherry SGs standards and think, one day. Took me about 5 years before I pulled they trigger. Wow. That's why I like SGs. They bought me back to music. :)

Well, that's good to hear. It's a great guitar and I would never sell mine. Guitars are like therapy for me. That's why I own 18 guitars now. I just picked up a Les Paul Studio on Saturday (in black of course). I just love all guitars in general. Without them, I'd probably go insane! I always on occasion go down to the music store and play all those expensive guitars. It gives me an excuse to get out of the house.

still a fan

In case you're wondering what Christine McVie was doing at the same time as
F.M.,

I've been a Fleetwood Mac fan through all their different phases, I've liked almost all of it. Christine knows how to write hits, and every band needs that, no matter how good their guitarist is or how tight the drums and the bass are, if nobody can write a hit, they'll be just like the rest of us. *laughs

I just saw three of them on a video, talking about getting together for a new tour. Buckingham, Nicks and Fleetwood... They look pretty old, but if they can pull it off, more power to them. Poor old Peter Green seems to have marginalized himself, intentionally. I think it's scary how many great musicians, poets, scholars, authors, satirists and artists have suffered from the edginess of genius and died early, or taken their own lives, or self-medicated themselves way too much, or driven too fast, or flown too high, or leaped before looking...

To me it's like an occupational hazard. We all have to face it and learn to live with it, or die. I wish us all well... There is a sort of solidarity among us, although every time I think about how many are gone (early) I get the blues. The same drive that pushes you to succeed is what can send you over the high side (as the bikers say). So hey... let's be careful out there.

Hey man, its the middle of winter around here, the time of year when things get hardest for lots of folks, including me. Something about long cold dark days that wears on a persons stability.

Here's to brighter warmer spring days coming just around the corner. And the sun shall shine its light on all earths weary faces once again. Can ya feel it? Now lets turn to our hymnal and sing with anticipation 'Back in Black" found on page #69. Oh yeah! Boy that song will make anybody feel good about living, fer sure! Can I gets an Amen from the Rock Choir???
