The Sitar used on The Chain
I'e always wondered how Lindsey came up with the idea of using this instrument for The Chain. I've never really read anything on this. Maybe I'm getting too much into Minutae, but I find it interesting. Obviously it was a good decision.:)

Sitar? "The Chain"? Where? I can hear a Dobro, but no sitar.
But, in any case, I would think ANYBODY's inspiration for using sitar on a rock song would've been from George Harrison's use of it on "Norwegian Wood". (The first use of sitar on a Western rock song) |

Yep, that IS a sitar...but I just don't hear one on "The Chain".
The only time I've (consciously) heard a sitar on a Fleetwood Mac song is on Lindsey's "Make Me A Mask" on The Chain box. |

That's one thing I wish they would have done with Dave Mason. He had a TON of sitar on "Mr. Fantasy" (the album, not the song). |

But they all enjoyed sopping up the bottom of their cioppino bowls with thick, sensuous slices of warm sourdough bread, baked fresh on the premises each morning. Then it was out for a relaxing drive through some of the older residential neighborhoods, & finally back to the studio -- sometimes not until 5 p.m. |

I just don't understand how somebody could own a Turner then want to sell it. I'd die of starvation and environmental exposure before I'd sell mine. |

I was gazing at some Turner guitars at Sylvan music the other day, and I thought of you guys...
It turns out that I drive past his shop all of the time, in Santa Cruz, on my way to the beach or the French bakery that is down in the industrial district - now a sort of "undustrial" neighborhood. |
