That's it -- no surprise it's MacFan who knew this bit of Christine trivia.

As for the accordion, I remember thinking that when FM played "Tusk" in concerts, Chris' accordion was taking the place of the entire marching band. Did she ever play the accordion on any other song, either in the studio or live?

It's a metaphor. Christine just played the riff on the accordion, repeatedly. Her keyboard tech, Jeff Sova, was backstage playing (or triggering) something closer to the brass arrangement of the original on an Oberheim. On the 1982 band tour, Jeff played a phat string patch undergirding Christine's piano on "Hold Me."

Did she ever play the accordion on any other song, either in the studio or live?

On the band tour with Vito in 1990, Chris played the accordion on "When the Sun Goes Down."

She played accordion on "So Excited" off the Christine McVie album....
