The other story I should tell is about the song "Anger Plays A Part" mentioned above. That's the song that will be on the new Neil/Liam Finn album coming out in August. When I saw Neil perform earlier this month, he told the story of Liam bringing that song to him and Neil being so proud of his son for writing such a great song. Neil got choked up saying how much he loved the song. Such a nice thing when one of your children makes a dad proud. |

"Though I'm frightened by the word(s) I think it's time I made it heard." Sometimes Neil sings it as "word", something as "words". Just as powerful either way ... Those lyrics give me chills just typing them ... here is my favorite version of the song performed by Neil on solo piano. Just amazing ... <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zS2FgwytiuU" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe> |

Today Neil turns 60!
Happy 60th birthday Mr. Finn. May you continue to grace us with great songs and great performances and enjoy the continued love of your friends and family. Here is an interview that Neil did to celebrate his 40th birthday ... <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xTvxGVH5p1c" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe> |

So Neil and Stevie have the same birthday, what a funny coincidence!

Stevie is my 2nd favorite member of Fleetwood Mac to be born on May 26.

Stevie's birthday is May 26, Neil was born May 27 in Te Awamutu, New Zealand. But when it's 26th in the US, it's the 27th here anyhow due to time differences... They are both having significant birthdays at the same time!
(I've actually seen some of the above mentioned sentiments not just in the Neil Finn forums, but in some of the general music discussions too.) |

There's obviously a Lennonesque influence in there too sometimes, but he has his own style. Sometimes I think he can get to a near baritone, and in harmony he has a good higher range. The Finns have been noted for their harmonic singing and all of them seem to be multitalented and musical. |

John Wayne was also born on May 26. Hard to say how he stacks up to Stevie.

Just posted on Neil Finn's social media sites ... a short video of some of the folks who played on the soon to be released studio album by Neil and his son Liam. The album will be released in August.
Mick Fleetwood played drums on the album ... <iframe width="854" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/db0ESGycoNs" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe> |

Neil Finn just posted his new song "Back To Life" (with his talented son Liam Finn). See below. Classic Finn ... with one of those killer Finn bridges. Enjoy!

Neil Finn (and his son Liam) performing their wonderful new song "Back To Life". Ironically, this likely would sound great as a Fleetwood Mac song ... Last edited by Sugar Mouse; 06-05-2018 at 03:22 PM.. |
