Long before the LauraTN/Jim romance, my beautiful wife Susan & I met here (well, on the old format) Ledge...in fact, Marty & Lis used our penguin wedding invitation as the backdrop for the old Penguin opening page.

Oh, crap, that IS really sad. I remember sending Vianna a copy of Mick's The Visitor on cassette cuz she didn't have a CD player yet.

And, Barbara H, too...we used to debate the merits of Eric Clapton's Pilgrim album.

And, btw...hi, Lauren!! Long time no hear from!!

No, Phil & Stephanie broke up long ago. Phil's moved on met a wonderful lady and got married just about a year ago.

Gareth just kind of fell off the map...he was one of the dreaded "Black Ledge"-ers (as was/am I and a few others still around here)...wasn't that the BL people were evil, just a different clique than others; nobody really took the "high road", everybody just stopped getting along...(all over that Vox Magazine article about Stevie and the 4 abortions)...we've all grown up since then. No sense in dredging up past indescretions and opening old, long-healed wounds. As Paul McCartney said a while back, "Let there be Peace In The Neighborhood".

OH...and what about the crew who all piled in my old Dodge Caravan to see Stevie on her Enchanted tour at the old Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre? (Rhapsody? SilverSpgs? I know Kathy from Hawaii has posted on the rare occason) Most of those folks have seemed to have vanished off Fleetwood Mac cyberspace, as well.

I didn't remember that!! COOL!

That's interesting that so many couples met through the Ledge back then. That hasn't happened in a long time, has it? I wonder why.

I think we're talking about different Gareths. The guy I meant was the kid who used to talk about tent-poling his Levis.

(Who was Gareth on the black ledge?)

And Les? (who's still technically a moderator of this board, apparently) She was a significant contributor to the Blue Letter Archives.

Been coming to the Penguin since 1996. Posted on the old version of the board and then registered again in the new format in 2001. Don't spend as much time here any more as the conversations drifted to far away from the music. Hope all is well with everyone.

And what happened to John B? Is he still around here? Maybe with another nick?

Lesley moved on. She was the one who told me about Barb.

So many gone . . . so many new generations . . . we have always been a storm.

Nobody except David and Tiffany (EnchantedSLN...whatever happened to her...she was great) would know who I am...but i've been a lurker since right after the dance tour and right before the enchanted tour.

I can remember the old old ledge and I remember all the chaos that broke out with the black ledge etc etc. I was in 7th grade!!!!

I started checking these boards right before the enchanted box set/tour launched. I originally posted on alt.musis.fleetwood mac when it was easy to access on AOL before I even had found the ledge. I'm pretty sure I remember seeing daves posts on alt.music.fleetwood mac quite a while before I found the ledge.

Speaking of people....does anyone know what happened to Michelle Bidwell who lived around/near syracuse new york. I traded cassettes with her for a long time, she was a great trader friend to have. I have no idea whatever happened to her.

I also remember...somebody...somewhere...used to send me like a mailing every month with all sorts of stevie and fleetwood mac collectables. Thats all they sold and it was old school style xerox list of stuff. I think I remember the name...Barbara...Brian....Ben?? It's been sooo long. Somone told me it was a little tiny business in a strip mall or something somewhere. wow those were the days.

There was also a website that used to put out a stevie calendar and they also had a ton of promo photos etc for sale. I think they used to post here from time to time and update everyone on new stock etc. The last I remember hearing from them was around 2001 because I think they had some of those promo lyric books with the parchment paper cover. I actually got one of those for free by e-mailing some promo guy at warner brothers. Fat chance in heck that would happen now.

George Kane - Treasured Tracs and Images. He used to live here in Austin, but now lives on the east coast. He has a store on ebay.

[BigAl84]

holey crap...yep thats it. George Kane! Does he still sell mac/stevie stuff or a different business venture now?

wow...blast from the past.

He had all the street angel era maxi cassette singles and the timespace posters etc etc.

I don't know how I ever got on his list but I remember it really well. It was in really tiny print and it always looked like a 10th generation photocopy

[BigAl84]

EQS Music....that was the other website vendor I was thinking of. They had promo photos galore and all sorts of goodies.
