Hope you enjoy it. There are a couple of pretty rare pictures in there also. I'd love to hear feedback etc! :-)

Is there no instrument this woman can't play?

We already know about the keyboards and then there's the guitar, bass guitar (Shades of Blue), accordian and now cello!

PS I loved the picture of her meeting John at the airport - can't she put the damn cigarette out for one minute?

I can't understand why she never got to play guitar onstage.

I can't understand why she never got to play guitar onstage.

I have a vid taken at the Largo stop of the Tusk tour where she plays guitar on "Save Me a Place." It was a bit surprising, but cool. Chris and Lindsey both have a high level of musicianship, IMO.

Thanks for writing this, Lis. I learned some new stuff and was totally entertained. She usually downplays her keyboard/piano skills, so it was interesting to hear that others have a high opinion of her abilities.

P.S. Does she still smoke?

Chris quit smoking in the late 80's/early 90's, i think. John is the only one of the 5 who still smokes, isn't he? But at least he quit the alcohol!

I downloaded a video clip from a Tusk rehearsal from Neil's U.K. site. The song was "The Ledge". Chris is playing guitar. She's wearing jeans & she looks very, very cool. Neil may still have that video available for download.

That Tusk rehearsal track "Save Me A Place" is another good one. I always loved to see Christine do something different like play guitar, drums or accordian.

I believe she quit smoking around the mid 90's. Unfortunately, John still smokes.

I'm glad to know she quit. It changed her voice, though. I don't care what Dan Perfect says, her voice is not as effortless now as it was pre-Rumours. It hasn't changed that much (certainly not as drastically as Ms. Stevie Nicks's), but it is a bit different. Of course I still enjoy it :)
