I nominate her work on the Hohner in "Sands of Time." It's quintessential Chris McVie. It's that Sonny Thompsonesque rhythm-section style that Bob Hall also has. It works especially well when the pianist is left-handed, like Christine. It gives texture to a track, similar to the way that a rhythm guitar does. It's like playing conga drums on a keyboard. You keep your hands close together, trading off dyads and triads between the two hands (sharing fingering), sometimes sounding your chord on the downboat and sometimes syncopating it, or mixing the two. But you have to mix the two at just the right time--that's what makes your style.
