Bob Brunning did like six shows with Fleetwood Mac.

The name came from a session. One of the other songs was “Greenie.”

Peter named the band Fleetwood Mac in part to lure John away from Mayall, but also because he knew he and Jeremy would eventually move on and wanted Mick and John to be able to continue without them.
