![]() So whose idea was it to tape the batty old lady reading her poem, and who decided it would be a good idea to put it on "Bare Trees"? Has anyone ever heard a good reason for it, or should we guess who was behind it? My money's on Mick
![]() So hands up who skips the old crone when they play the album... personally I usually play it ![]() ![]() |

![]() Before the invent of CD's, it played when I played the LP. But once CDs were invented and I could program it out, VOILA! Sayonara, Mrs Scarrot.

![]() Mick did mention in his book that he loved it on the album, so I'm sure it was his idea. I don't hate it & whenever I listen to the album, I don't skip it. The best thing you can say about it is it isn't very long.

As usual I agree w/ pretty much everything you wrote. ![]() '...pregnant sweet... love is tender.' kinda pretty. And the bickering between the couple at the end always makes me laugh. That said, I'd have LOVED to have Gone Into the Sun close that album!! ![]() -Lis |

![]() It was just as relevant as the little girl that did the recitation on Traffic's
"Hole in My shoe"...then...those were the days, kids. It was a special time. Some even liked "Oh Well" part 2. Some....

I wish it weren't on the record for a number of reasons. Most importantly, it's a lousy poem. (Daft might be the right word.) And "Dust" is such an excellent, perfect song, that it should rightfully close that record. But I agree with you: I'd rather hear "Thoughts" fifty times over "When I See You Again." |

Chris was frustratingly reserved on her first two Mac records. She could clearly write and sing any number of songs but, for whatever reason, chose to contribute only two to each. And even then, she seemed content with being a side player. This is inexplicable to me since she clearly possessed (and possesses) the best voice among the Kirwan-McVie-Welch trumvirate. Why the band didn't exploit her talent more is beyond me. I'm imagining SHE was her own worst enemy and chose to remain under the proverbial radar. And then when it was just she and Bob fronting the band,, I don't know why she chose to contribute four songs for each record. Why not split the writing and singing chores for half the record? Herf voice at this point was fully evolved and she was capable of nailing a wide range of stlyes. |

Ms Nicks may be the most well known member of FM (post Peter Green era)and Lindsey is acknowledged as being a fine producer but you can't get away from the fact that Christine came up with the hits. Gail |
