I think if there's any official site in the future for her, she won't really be taking any part in it. So it would require the site admin to do it himself or herself, which would mean interacting with the fanbase more & not waiting for permission from management or Big Mama.

The record company is to blame ... they thought they'd run some silly contest, and you can be sure that a lot of people jumped on board who are mainly FM or Stevie fans, and, in the absence of a moderator, it's just inevitable that they asked all kinds of tiresome and ridiculous questions ("when will you record with the Mac again ... when will you tour with the Mac again ... do you ever have lunch with Stevie ..."). The mistake made was that nobody filtered the questions. They needed to have a moderator look over the questions and select a small number ... maybe five questions. Good, interesting questions that pertained to 'In the Meantime' or to Christine's actual creative process as a songwriter and musician. It's really too bad it wasn't done this way, because Chris might have actually enjoyed answering a few good questions, and it might have led her to become more engaged in her website. But it's too late for that now. She's been out of the public eye (and undoubtedly thoroughly enjoying her quiet life as an English tea lady) for too long for her to have any interest in being a "celebrity" again.

With a new site she may possibly agree to answer a few. I'm going to email Mr Wyatt in the next couple of days with the suggestions for the site so I'll include doing a (brief) Q&A. I don't suppose it'll happen but we always ask. Gail |

I wonder if Chris did answer some questions. Pip(the moderator) talked to that guy from the record label & she said that he had e-mailed Dan Perfect about the Q & A. Dan said that she had recorded some answers on audio tape. Chris has said that she hates to type. If that's true, someone could have transferred those tapes to digital format & posted them on her site. I blame that guy from Sanctuary, although Chris has to share some blame simply for not delivering what was promised.
I also totally agree with Joanne about that dumb contest. They probably got too many inane questions from non-Christine McVie fans. I didn't care about that contest, although I certainly would have accepted the prize if I had won. I just wanted a chance to ask Christine a few questions about her life & career.

Well ... good grief ... we fans would like to hear those audio recordings. Never mind transcribing them to text, actually listening to Chris' lovely voice would be far better.
Those recordings are another thing Mr. Wyatt could put on a remastered C. McVie website ... if the tapes haven't gotten lost. (Gail, you can add that to your list for Mr. Wyatt.)

How about any little tidbits of things, or even outtakes, that Chris & Dan & the other musicians may have been working on in the ITM sessions that didn't make the final cut? With such a relaxed atmosphere as it must have been, there's bound to be a lot of music & music bits that were recorded. With that group (Christine, Hawkins), they probably even did some old blues songs, as musicians are apt to do when the atmosphere is relaxed & casual.

I wonder how far they got with Keith and if there's any material from when he was still involved.

Dan Perfect, if you're listening .... back up your hard drive, and do it now, pleeeez. I want to hear those outtakes.

Who's Keith? It was mostly just Chris & Dan Perfect, with George Hawkins & Steve Ferrone. According to Chris, Ken Caillat helped with the bass & drums.

I thought Keith Olson was going to be involved in production originally but then they parted ways. Michele |

I never heard anything about Keith Olson, just Ken Caillat. I'd be surprised if Christine & Keith Olson have had any contact in many, many, many years.

I emailed Martin Wyatt yesterday with our collected thoughts on a new official website.
Basically I think we had all come to the same conclusions and the main common items are as follows: Biography Discography Photo Gallery Downloads (inc outtakes from ITM) Q&A News I mentioned that no one had asked for a discussion forum and that I realised that any participation from Christine herself may be difficult to achieve. I did say that perhaps a Q&A with a limited number of questions might be possible. I haven't had an answer yet - he's probably seen the email and thought "oh God not her again". I did say that I hoped it had given him some ideas and let him (and Christine)know that we would like to see a new official site. I'll let you know when (or if) I get a response. Gail |
