I'm thrilled there's another Rod Stewart fan on here! :thumbsup:

After Lindsey Buckingham and Fleetwood Mac, he's a HUGE favourite of mine - seen him live 5 times now and he still rocks!

[chiffon head]

My name is Renee aka Chiffon Head (the screenname a result of some poeple making jest of us Stevie fans...Chili?;)

So,since I've found myself posting more on this forum lately, I thought I should introduce myself:wavey: I've been a FM/Stevie fan since I was a kid (I'm 43 now) and became hooked on FM when the radio was playing Dreams on top 40 back in the day. Anyhow...I discovered The Ledge a long time ago at the start of the site and when Stevie and FM stuff was hard to come by. This board has gone thru alot of changes over the years (bad & good~imo) and I've always lurked and I sometimes pipe in and probably always will, cause I really love it here! FM fans are the best... so...I just want to say "Hi" :)

[mylittledemon]

hi Renee & welcome back!

[SuperFleetwood]

its going to be a bumpy ride here on the ledge, so get ready.

[Travisevian]

Bonjour! I am Travis. Some of you all may remember me from the Buckingham Nicks and Seven Wonders message boards. I've been listening to the music of Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac for the past fourteen years. I've never seen Fleetwood Mac in concert but had the incredible opportunity to see Stevie in concert in June of 2005(just days after my twenty-first birthday) during the Gold Dust tour. It was a magnificent show and a special memory that I shall always treasure. I'm looking forward to becoming acquainted with all of you and to reacquaint myself with those of you whom I corresponded with before.

Enchanté.

[mylittledemon]

Travis, welcome! Glad to have ya here! :o

Welcome to the Ledge... make yourself at home! :wavey:

[GoldDustGypsy]

Hi everyone!

I joined the ledge around a month ago and I'm wanting to be more active on the boards so I decided I may as well introduce myself! I'm 20 years old and love every single aspect of Fleetwood Mac. So far, the only live shows I've been to are Stevie (in Cincinnati) and Lindsey (in Newark, OH). They were both absolutely spectacular. Lindsey slapped my hand during Go Your Own Way(best moment of my life) but unfortunately I couldn't make it up to the stage for the edge walk :(

I'm so happy to be here and be surrounded by so many FM fans, can't wait to see what's in store!

Hi, I'm David. I waited a long time for a good live album from the pop incarnation of the band. When I got tired of waiting, I made my own live album. This was some years ago. I'm Facebook friends with Jannie here.

[jdf]

wanted to say HI to y'all - I'm Juergen and grew up with Fleetwood Mac, Chicken Shack and the British Blues Boom in the late 60s - that's why I prefer a bit the pre-rumours era - you know?

[jannieC]

^^^Hi Juergen and welcome- you will find several members who prefer the pre-Rumours line-up. :wavey:

[jdf]

well thanks for a warm welcome and another little question:
how many mods and admins are here? Who's running that beautiful website with all the great information and details - quite sure it is an appreciation to a great or better one of the greatest Bands in Rockbusiness - and I refer to the pre-rumours as well as the post-rumours era.

Hey girls and boys, come on stage and introduce yourself :)- maybe you already did that and I can't find? So any clue would be very kind from you all.

Thanks in advance
Juergen / Germany

btw any idea HOW I can remove the widget? The link does not work - I'm always thrown to a support site if I click on that link!

[Kate]

Hi there. I just wanted to leave a small note to introduce myself. My name is Kate (obviously :D), and I thought it was high time I actually joined instead of lurking around. I'd been on a hiatus from heavy FM listening, but have come back into the fold (you can't really avoid it!)

Anyway, just wanted to say hello!

[CADreaming]

^Welcome, all! :)

[vivfox]

Anyway, just wanted to say hello!


Welcome Kate! I see by the timestamp of your post you are a nightbird.

You sure were up early. I totally had thought you were up all night. I was a nightbird most of my adult life. No longer though. Like many Ledgies, we set out to accomplish some sort of task and end up avoiding it and reading posts on here instead. I guess you were no exception.:D

I used to be as well, nowadays I work a full-time job and do a Master's degree so it means I do need a certain amount of sleep :) But somehow I still find time for message boards...

[Edgeof27]

Just want to say "HELLO", again,

I'm back,

Looking forward to meeting some more fellow Ledgies in 2012,

[ironman_01701]

Hello all, call me Marsh, I'm a retired computer engineer and I'm Christine McVie's age (short of a few months...probably the oldest FM fan here).

I have a little story to tell.

I started out working in a small computer company just outside of Boston back in 1962, and in 2002 I retied from the computer field. I have always put my nose to the grind-stone and didn't know much about the entertainers back in the 50's and 60's (outside of Elvis and Diana Ross etc.).. For that mater through out the 40 years, I listen to my favored music, the Beatles in the mid 60's, Elton John, Billy Joel and Fleetwood Mac in the 70's. They where one of my favorite band and entertainers along with the Bee Gees during the 70's.

Now here is my story: On one of my rare, if not only time, I went to a nightclub in 1966 in New York City. I only did this because I was accompanied by another senior engineer on a business trip (several years older than me, his name was Don). Later in the day (at night) Don led me to Greenwich Village where all the beatnik's hung out. I heard of Greenwich Village and knew that Beatniks smoked Marijuana, but that was about it. I was a technical guy (a geek) in the 60's and 70's.

That night in 1966, Don and I walked into a street level Coffeehouse, and I stood next to a black guy with an Afro hair cut who was playing his Guitar just 10 feet away from me. He was playing his guitar while sitting on a stool. He was dressed rather bizarrely with a Bandana (headband) around his head and lots of beads around his neck. He had on a loose fitting colorful shirt and wore tight red pants. This was an outfit that looked like he just won a costume award at the Village (so I thought). While playing his guitar, his boosted amplifiers/speakers where blasting so loud that after 20 minutes I yelled out to Don "let's get out of here, I got a headache".

After leaving and walking on the street out of the Cafe' Wha? I asked Don who the hell was that guy? Don said that's Jimmy Hendrix, not knowing anything about him I said, "oh".

But the kicker is this, throughout the entire 70's I assumed Fleetwood Mac was just an all guys band with just the sexy Stevie Nicks as a female member. While watching Fleetwood Mac on MTV with my son (my son was addicted to MTV). I saw Christine McVie sing a song with the FM band during the early the 80's. I was very much surprised and shocked that a female sounded like a guy. She had/has an altos voice, and was knocked over with her beauty also.

Good thing elephants aren't pink, I wouldn't recognize them.:woohoo:

[louielouie2000]

^Welcome to the Ledge! :wavey:

[Chris_Lover]

Hi everyone! :)
First of all, I'd like to apologize for my bad english (I try to improve every day!).
My name is Laura and I'm a 29 years old italian girl who knew FM before, but started to listen to them only in 2009/2010. The first song I heard was "Little lies" and it's still my fav (I made also my ex girlfriend going mad with it at the time and now that we still are friends, I'm making her know other songs).
My fav singer in the band is Christine, as you can figure from my nickname! :D
She's like a Goddess to me: her voice, her beauty, her charisma.. totally wonderful, PERFECT in name and in fact!
I regret being born only in 1983, because I lost all the best years and, above all, I could NEVER see a FM concert with Chris :(:distress:
Since I'm a very 70-80's type of person (and proud of it!), I don't fit so well into modern society and I always get along better with older people than people my own age, in love and in friendship. They understand and often share my interests, while young people today doesn't even know how to read a real book, to write without using text messages language, how to use a record player, the beauty of being free to take a paper and write with a real pen, instead of a computer, etc... Imagine if they know Fleetwood Mac! :(
Thus, FM allow me to imagine a different kind of life, of world, of music and culture. A magical time, an easyer lifestyle that will never come back.

My hobbies are graphics, photography, journalism, paranormal, travel, cooking, United States (specially LA and the whole California, where I wish I could live someday); I work as a publicist, but I'm still looking for a stable work. Since 2001/2002 I'm a webmaster and forum administrator, so I hope, even if I'm young and still inexperienced in FM, to be helpful because I like to create wallpapers, animated gif, avatars, banners, layout, photo montages, videos and everything can be used in a forum/site.
I've already created a lot of wallpapers about Chris and my first video-tribute, which has been already uploaded on Youtube. I will post my creations in this forum; if you have some requests, you can ask me and I'll se what can I do for you :)

Thanks for your attention and have a nice day!

[Chris_Lover]

Thank you so much, Homer! :xoxo:
It's a pleasure for me to be here, because it's my first time on a FM forum. I hope to socialize, make friends and meet other people who love Christine as me (and you) :wavey:

[HomerMcvie]

Hello. I was a member here in 97 and I can't for the life of me remember what my username was. I was really young, and rarely posted, but I enjoyed reading posts -- and a few people (who I also can't remember) sent me some cool vhs tapes!

I'm most interested in Christine McVie, Bob Weston, Bob Welch and Danny Kirwan's music. I think I like the "Mystery to Me" record best. (Though that opinion changes with some regularity).

More than I like any one band, I just really love rock and pop music from the 60's forward. There used to be so many music themed message boards with lots of lively discussion, etc. I miss them. Needless to say, I'm glad this board is still here and seeing regular activity. It will be fun talking with you all.

Welcome back! And you have excellent taste in your band incarnations!!!:laugh::wavey:

Hi everyone! :)

I never properly introduced myself! After a summer of lurking, I decided to take the plunge :lol: I'm a displaced New Yorker living in the UK whilst studying for my MA. I've loved FM since I was in high school - my parents had, and still have, impeccable taste in music. I've been very lucky to have grown up listening to all the great bands of the 60s and 70s. Love the conversations on the boards! With upcoming tours and projects I'm sure this forum will be quite busy :nod:

*wanders in* Hi, everyone. My name is Summer and while I've always liked Fleetwood Mac, one of Stevie's songs kind of grabbed me recently and wouldn't let go ("Gypsy"), during a very difficult time in my life, and slowly but surely, I've found myself a little obsessed. My family and friends are sick of hearing about it! I'm 22, so I missed seeing the band at their height, and have loved lurking around here recently and relishing the tidbits you all share.
Thanks for having me :)

Welcome, Summer! Dig right in & enjoy yourself! :thumbsup:

[vivfox]

Hello to everybody, Im a newbie of this site/forum.

My name's Giuseppe and I come from Italy. I'm 18 and i fell in love with the Mac after watching a tv show, made by VH1 if I remember right, which talked also about this faboulous band, Go Your Own Way was the song which hit me. Here in Italy the Mac are not so known, but I don't care.

My hobbies are: listening to and playing music (All genres, but my favourite is Rock ), writing, drawing and other artistical stuff. I like also soccer and other sports like F1.

So I think i told everything about me, nice to meet all of you.

Welcome Stormwind. How was your Italian summer?

Summer ends fast,Unluckily

[louielouie2000]

Hello to everybody, Im a newbie of this site/forum.

My name's Giuseppe and I come from Italy. I'm 18 and i fell in love with the Mac after watching a tv show, made by VH1 if I remember right, which talked also about this faboulous band, Go Your Own Way was the song which hit me. Here in Italy the Mac are not so known, but I don't care.

My hobbies are: listening to and playing music (All genres, but my favourite is Rock ), writing, drawing and other artistical stuff. I like also soccer and other sports like F1.

So I think i told everything about me, nice to meet all of you.

Welcome to the Ledge, Giuseppe. We just had a F1 race here in Austin, and it was very exciting. I definitely want to learn more about the sport now. Anyway, make yourself at home here! :thumbsup:

Hi! Giuseppe! Don't worry, here in Argentina FM is not so known too, but you can listen to some classics on the radios.
I also like (and play sometimes) soccer. My favourite teams from Italy are Napoli and the Milan teams. And yes, I'm a fan of the F1. I obviously like Ferrari, and other teams like McLaren, Sauber and Lotus. My favourite drivers are Jarno Trulli (even when I know he's not racing anymore), Mark Webber and Kimi Räikkönen.
Regards!!

You like Napoli ? very well then :thumbsup:

My favourite drivers in the F1 are the legendary Ayrton Senna (i watched all his past races), Alonso and Kimi Räikkönen.

Not sure if anyone remembers me around here -- according to the top right corner of my screen, I last logged in in March of 2011! Yikes! Talk about a hiatus...

I'm back though and still loving all things FM... looking forward to the 2013 tour.

Anywho, just wanted to drop back by and say hi! :wavey:

[vivfox]

Of course I remember you. Welcome home.

[chelluversu]

Allow me to reintroduce myself. My name is HOV...

Just kidding.

I too have taken a really long hiatus. Mostly because I'm a busy college student and second is because I now have become obsessed with tumblr and twitter... and the ledge has taken the back burner.

Anyway, for those who don't know/remember me, I'm Michelle. (Hey Viv lol)
I'm 19 and a Michigan State student (no stalking me).
I'm a journalism major and economics minor and planning on going into business reporting instead of writing for the RollingStone like I've always wanted :distress:

I like long walks on the beach
and movies
...and cats.

Yeah...lol.

I was giggling at one of your recent twitter posts. Yet I felt so bad for you at the same time. It was your mini rant about the Fleetwood Mac tour dates and your future locations.

Duuuuude, I was telling my boyfriend about my favorite band being on tour and he asked when they were coming to town...he giggled a little at my problem. I would've dragged his ass along.

He's willing to drive me to another state just to go, though.

[FierySequences]

Hi all, I am new here and am really excited about the upcoming FM tour. I was a member of SevenWonders for awhile and I want to reconnect with other FM/SN fans. I love the band and discussing anything FM...they are my favorite. I have to say I'm a little disappointed in Stevie (and I love the woman) not recording or wanting to do a new album.....seems I love them most working/touring together.

I have been a fan since 83-87, when I knew of SN, then realized she was a member of FM. Yes, I am well into my 30's and around the time of RAL I had no idea that Stevie (in her mind) had a “side” band. But since then I have come to appreciate (ALL Mac) esp Chris and Bob Welch eras, and Green.

Anywho, I am Ron Alan and I currently live in Ohio trying to put the pieces back together in this crazy world we call earth. One day I'd like to relocate to a warm, sunny space in the south. I currently work as a public servant...but often wonder what I could accomplish as a lyric/poetic analysist or simply put interpreter. One day I would like to finish Grad school by interpreting the lyrics in modern and classic music. We all can Dream, right? :D

[mylittledemon]

^Welcome Ron. :D

[Mystic Owl]

Just me. Ocie. Getting back into meeting some new people on here that are fans.

Good to see that there is an influx of younger people that are getting into the music, keep it alive, keep it going.

Hope to strike up some conversations I sit at a desk all day and can multi task.

Wishing everyone a Happy Holiday Season filled with music, love, and inspiration.

[TheColKel]

I never know how to start these things off. Reminds me of the ice breakers they make you do in college on the first day, which usually results in me staring with my mouth open dumbfounded and awkwardly introducing myself.

Anyway, I happened to stumble upon this site the other day after googling about FM dvds since I had Christmas money that desperately needed to be spent, and I am so glad I found this place. Being 26, I don't have too many (okay, none) friends who want to endlessly discuss, listen to, or watch anything FM related. I tend to be the one with the "unusual" taste in things anyway lol. Needless to say, I am thrilled I can come here and connect with other fans.

I have been a huge fan since, well probably birth. I have been lucky enough to be brought up by parents with awesome taste, and I was raised on 60s-80s era music, movies, and tv shows. They're both huge FM fans and my old man even got to seem them twice back in the 70s...all the things I missed out on being born in the wrong decade lol. My obsession really took off when I was about 11 and saw The Dance on tv. Talk about being completely transfixed, it was hypnotic. I love 'em all and have recently been exposed to the pre-'75 FM stuff, but Stevie Nicks will always be my fave. I don't know what it is about the band or her, or why I like them so much, but they will always have a special place in my heart.

I could keep rambling, but I don't want to creep anyone out. Looking forward to being a part of these boards!

[CADreaming]

Welcome everybody!!

Stevie is a witch. When you listen to her sing, her voice casts a spell on you and you are captured as a fan for life. We welcome you.

Hi, I`m Kim, a 17 y/o 10th grade student from Georgia.
Musically, I love FM,of course, and most rock/metal from the 60s to the present.
I also have a mild disability called Cerebral Pasly, which affects my left aide.

[mylittledemon]

^ Welcome, Kim! Nice to have you here. :D

[oberwerk]

It's great to see new members and "old" lurkers getting in on all of the recent excitement. Introduce yourself- we are glad to have you here!
Hi Everyone,
I found this site while searching for photos of Mick Fleetwood on stage from 1970 through 1992. During this time period, Mick almost always had his 36" Paiste gong positioned directly behind him.
In 1992, he commissioned Pamelina (from Fender Custom-shop fame), to paint the gong with the "Shakin' the Cage" album art. After that, he only used the Paiste gong with "The Zoo", and switched to a Zildjian gong when he played with Fleetwood Mac- which he still uses to this day.
Anyway, I own the Paiste gong he used for 23 years. You can see it at fleetwoodgong.com, lots of photos and info there that I've put together over the last few years.
I'm very pleased to find here at The Ledge dozens of pictures of the Paiste gong on stage that I've never seen before.

[redbird]

I didn't see this thread until just now. I recently joined and thought I'd "officially" say hi. I'm from Austin, Texas, although I just moved here so I don't really feel like a Texan yet. I went from a casual listener to a Mac fan in my mid-teens, but I'm still short of 30 so I really wasn't around for their glory years. I'm hoping to see them in Houston and catch the Sound City doc at SXSW, fingers crossed.

I've visited the Ledge before, most often to stare at photos of Lindsey Buckingham.

[lettucesoap]

I too just noticed this and thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Leah, 26 from just somewhere outside London. I've been lurking for a little while but thought I'd be brave and say hello.

Like a lot of people, I grew up on Rumours and can't remember a time I've not known those songs. I've always loved that album cover, and would always select it if I was asked if we wanted music on at home (the rest of the time I used to amuse myself by making roads with my parent's vinyl collection lol) ;)

I have recently discovered the fact there are loads of other brilliant albums and songs so that's been a revelation (though I knew Rhiannon and Over My Head a bit and some stuff from pre- Stevie and Lindsey that my dad used to play). I guess I would say I've become a pretty big Stevie fan, and wondering where the hell she has actually BEEN all my life. I always knew her simply as a (wonderful) voice and from the photos on the back of Rumours and had never really seen her outside from that. I literally spent 5 days slowly working through her tag on tumblr and realised how awesome she was. Anyway. I'm very excited to see FM in September in Birmingham and wish it wasn't still February!!!

Welcome aboard, my fellow Austinite! :thumbsup: Do you have a wristband to see Sound City at SXSW, or have you found a ticket another way? I nabbed a ticket for Stevie's documentary at SXSW directly from the Paramount's website, but the Drafthouse doesn't have Sound City listed on their website. :(

^Welcome redbird & lettucesoap! :D

[redbird]

Thanks :) I do not have a wristband, to be honest I'm not expecting to get to go but my little sister loves Dave Grohl and I love Stevie Nicks and this would just be such a cool thing to do together that I don't altogether want to give up hope yet. I decided months ago that I probably wouldn't go and at the last minute am having second thoughts.

lettucesoap, welcome from me too. It's interesting how people our age can say we grew up with Rumours too, in my case it was because 90% of it was on the radio.

[bluecalmsea]

I have been posting away without a proper intro!

I'm 27, girl, currently on the east coast, U.S.

I have loved Fleetwood Mac since I was 11. The Dance was playing on MTV while I was passing by to go to the kitchen. I stopped dead in my tracks and heard Silver Springs. I have been hooked ever since! I am finally going to see them in concert for the first time in June. :cool:

Thanks for having me here- such wonderful discussions and people! I have been looking at the various forums, sorting posts by number of replies- it's a gold mine of info and lots of comedy (tempting to reply to years-old threads). :)

[David]

Hi, I'm David. I'm a Southern California resident, an editor in his 40s, and a Penguinite since just after the Street Angel tour, when I decided to reconnect to other Mac fans. I was a big fan from Rumours through Tango in the Night, and then sorta dropped out when I didn't like the direction things were going.

I've been kicked off the board about twelve times over the years, but have always wormed my way back into the fold by promising to behave. What I love about the Ledge the most is talking to all the new fans, old fans, in-between fans, inspired fans, disappointed fans, sane fans, insane fans, calm fans, and bellicose fans. All this conversation has been a whole heck of a lot of fun for me. I'm also getting nostalgic in my old age, and hope one day to hear from the people who are long gone from here. I also miss those who have passed away.

My favorite songs:

Before the Beginning
Man of the World
Sands of Time
Dragonfly
The Derelict
Did You Ever Love Me
Keep On Going
Heroes Are Hard to Find
Angel (1974)
Crystal
Sugar Daddy
You Make Loving Fun
Go Your Own Way
That's All for Everyone
Honey Hi
Never Forget
One More Night
Hold Me
All Over Again
Temporary One
Red Rover
Destiny Rules


In every way, the family here outweirds the Fleetwood Mac family—we just never realized it before. We make them look like colorless drabs.

[chiliD]

David, you need no introduction...you've been here "before the beginning" (like me). You just take a sabbatical every now & then when things get too irritatingly "chiffon-esque" for you.

[vivfox]

We have another non posting member(Dani) who discovered FM through Silver Springs from The Dance also.

It is totally ok to revive old threads with new comments. We do have a sense of humor(well, most of us) so go ahead and show us yours.

I'm not new, but I haven't been around in a while, so I thought I'd say hi to those I haven't spoken too yet. :thumbsup:

I'm Chris, I'm 23 from a teeny tiny village in the north of England, not far from Leeds. I work in HR, and I live with my cat, Gypsy :).

Been a Mac fan for...well...forever...although I'm primarily a Stevie solo fan and always have been (my Dad being into his guitar solos and rock songs found this utterly ridiculous!). I remember being a toddler and having Mac and Stevie cassettes that I used to play on my Fisher Price "My First Cassette Player", complete with mini-microphone.

I am a COMPLETE, self-confessed Chiffon Head, by the way....:nod:

Cool story.

[gypsy-sara]

Hello,

my name is Christian, I'm 33 years old and I'm from Heidelberg in Germany.

I became a devoted Fleetwood Mac fan in 2007. I have seen them live during the first one of their gigs in Wembley Stadium in 2009, and I am going to see them this autumn in both Paris and Stuttgart.

I love this band from the bottom of my heart. In fact, they're the only band (together with Stevie's solo work) that I can listen to every single day, on and on, again and again. I never grow tired of them. Though I have discovered them quite late, I consider them as the music of my heart and the soundtrack of my life.

My favourite songs are "Sara" and "Gypsy", my favourite albums are "Rumours" and "Tango In The Night".

I would love Fleetwood Mac to perform not only their obvious hits, but also some surprises this year. "Isn't It Midnight" would be my biggest wish...

I would also love Christine back with the band, maybe she has overcome her fear of flying...




*Stevie, you're the poet in my heart... never change... never stop...*

[ejb1969]

Hi Everyone,

I'm Emily from Ohio. I've loved the band for a long time, but have never seen them in concert. That's changing though; I'll be at the show in Columbus in April.

I found my way to The Ledge after I read Ken's book about the making of Rumours, which I loved. It is great listening to it in analog, I'm tellin ya!

[Angie1980]

Hi!

I´m Angelica from Sweden. I guess I have always listened and known about FM but a few weeks ago I found out that they were coming to Sweden in October so I started to really listen to their music and got hooked. I especially love Stevie. Have listened to as much of the music as I have been able too, watched clips on youtube and read articles....

Have never seen them in concert but went online the minute they released the tickets fpr the concert in Stockholm in October......got tickets on the 5th row and it will be the second last concert of the tour so I am SOOOOO happy!!!

So...hi everybody!!!

[vivfox]

Hi! I´m Angelica from Sweden.


Welcome Angelica! I loved your introduction to FM story. You'll love this site and the knowledge to be learned from all our members is very exciting. What is your fave song by each band member so far?

[Angie1980]

Welcome Angelica! I loved your introduction to FM story. You'll love this site and the knowledge to be learned from all our members is very exciting. What is your fave song by each band member so far?

vivfox it feels like I am being asked the one million dollar question :)

I guess you could say that my crush on FM started for real about four weeks ago and since then the love affair with different songs have come and gone....

Day one I started out putting Silver springs on repeat for an entire day at work. I listened to it a great deal about ten years back but without even thinking about it a while lot back then. Now I love it mostly because of the memories it brings back from that time in my life.

I then moved on to creating a list on spotify with the entire Rumors album and day two I had Everywhere on repeat. I like the lyrics and I like the "flow" of the song. It has become my "let's have a great day at work" song that I listen to on my way to work.

Then I had...not a love affair but a crush on Go your own way and Hold me.

After that I found out about In your dreams....and I head over heals feel in love with Stevie. I stumbled upon the Cheaper than free video and had that on repeat for a day or two and mostly I fell in love with the video because of how beautiful and relaxed Stevie looks in it.

By now I found Seven wonders and even though it is a "teenage" kind of song (I think) Not the most brilliant lyrics but I love that it is "fun" and it is my "getting into a good mood" song.

Two weeks into my love affair with FM my six year old son joined me :) I was playing Say you will quite a lot during a couple of days and suddenly I hear that he has learned the lyrics of the chorus due to me playing it on the way to school. And you have to remember that he doesn't know english...since we are Swedish :)

My most recent love affairs that don't seem to want to let me go is Stevie's doing "Insider" with Tom Petty. Not the recording but the version from when she went on tour with Tom. LOVE IT!!! Almost made me cry the first times. The other one is Leather and lace....don't really know why but i think it's cute.

Became a LONG posting but to answer the question:)

Christine: Everywhere just because it was my first interaction with FM. I also really like "Songbird"

Lindsey: To be honest....I am not a big fan of Lindsey even though he has beautiful blue eyes. And even though it is boring I have to say GYOW so far......

And then we have Stevie.....There are several I love for all different reasons...GAAAH it is so hard to choose....Right now, this very moment I am going with.....Moonlight.

[vivfox]

Angelica, that was such a beautiful post. You could have made it longer if you wanted to. We Ledgies love reading the mini novels we sometimes post. When you love a band and their songs that much, there is a lot to express. For a person who doesn't have english as a first language, I am amazed at how good your writing skills are.
You will discover many members who will share your taste in songs and you will read about people who love certain songs that other members deplore. We are a fun group of people from all walks of life and we come from places all around the world. I love the fact that we have a member from Peru, another from New Zealand, one from France, another from Italy, one from Holland, many, many from England and a gazillion of us from the United States of America and many more fabulous places I did not name and now we have you from Sweden. WELCOME!!!

[Angie1980]

Thank you for making me feel so welcomed :)

My good English comes from spending a year in Denver, CO as a nanny, one semester at College in Minnesota and then I was briefly...very briefly....like Hollywood style briefly married to an American guy :)

Sounds a little bit like Stevie's biography.

[Angie1980]

Sounds a little bit like Stevie's biography.

Right after I posted it I actually thought about the fact that both Stevie and I did the whole "married for the wrong reasons and divorced very quickly" thing but I think that is as much rock n' roll that I will ever get :lol:

So vivfox how long have you been a fan and why? :)

[vivfox]

So vivfox how long have you been a fan and why?

I came on board during the Rumours fan craze in the Summer of 1978. After hearing GYOW, Dreams and Don't Stop on the radio from late 1976-1978 I said to myself,'if their next single is as great as these songs then I will buy the album.' YMLF was released as the next single and I couldn't get to the record store fast enough! That day is when I heard The Chain and GDW for the first time and I knew this was going to be my favorite band. And I loved all three singers' voices.

[SadAngel86]

Hello! My name is Sierra and I currently hail from Chicago, IL although right now I am living in Urbana, IL about to finish up my Master's in Library and Information Science. I will be graduating on May 12th of this year and am excited but very nervous.

My first ever experience I ever had with Fleetwood Mac was when I was 11 years old and my mom had purchased The Dance DVD. I then remember being at my grandma's house (she would babysit us after school while the parents were at work) and my sister and I would play this DVD constantly. It holds a very special place in my heart. I just remember being enamored by Lindsey Buckingham (and I still am to this day!) because he is just a genius with that guitar!

Since I am now an adult, I have some time to get reacquainted with the band and have just recently been listening to a whole bunch of their albums (Tango, Tusk, Debut and a lot of Lindsey's solo stuff)

To top this all off I will be attending my FIRST EVER concert on June 14th at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, IL. The tickets are a graduation present. I am beyond excited.:blob2: I just hope security is all right with the camera I want to bring because I want to document this since I don't know of they'll ever tour again. Let's hope so!

I also came across The Ledge just by looking around the internet for news and a fan community that was still alive and kicking which I was surprised there was! It's great!:thumbsup: (You can also probably tell that I love their new song "Sad Angel!")

[streetangel27]

Just popping back in to say hey! I haven't posted here (or any forum) for a loooong time. But I just saw Fleetwood Mac on Tuesday, and it's sparked my need for discussion!

I'm Elle, I think I know some of you from when I frequented SevenWonders(before it shut down).

I've made some great friends from these places. I hope I'll be fortunate enough to make some more.

[Dex]

Yo!

If I've learned anything from other internet forums, it's that nobody actually reads these topics. But it's a boring Saturday afternoon and I'm putting off doing the dishes. ;)

My names Derek. I live in West Sussex but I originally hail from Calgary, Canada. I like coffee, owning books (I tend to just buy them and not read them, these days. I'm awful.), and awesome old ladies.

Oh. And Fleetwood Mac, too. Yeah. Everything after Peter Green (sorry guys! Can't get into him!) and even some of the Rick/Billy stuff. So you can probably write off my taste in music as completely awful. But I enjoy myself.

[louielouie2000]

Welcome, Derek! Sounds like our Mac tastes are similar- I can't get into anything pre '71, either. Don't get me wrong, I find the occasional Green song enjoyable, but it's just not my kind of music.

[vivfox]

If I've learned anything from other internet forums, it's that nobody actually reads these topics.

Fewf! Living in the UK is a bit brutal for the Peter Green not-fan. It seems like if you mention the Mac to an audiophile without indicating a strong preference for the Peter Green era, you are quickly labelled an idiot. It's a label I've learned to accept graciously. ;)

Thanks to you and vivfox for the welcome. :)

I also came across The Ledge just by looking around the internet for news and a fan community that was still alive and kicking which I was surprised there was! It's great!:thumbsup: (You can also probably tell that I love their new song "Sad Angel!")

Hmmm ok So firstly.. welcome to the Ledge! :nod: And secondly... our stories are very similar. See, when I was 5 The Dance came out and I had the CD and my Mom would play it every day for me, and I fell in love with them at a very young age. It wasn't until I was about 15 that I actually became a hard core fan and expanded my fandom! ;)

Also.. We both are seeing our first FM concert this tour.. I saw them in Boston and looks like you're seeing them in June!!! And I love their new song Sad Angel! We're twins! haha :laugh:

Thank you TerraRhiannon!! Yes, I am seeing them in June. Only about 35 days or so to go! Yes, I am counting down! Can't wait!

Hello everyone :] I'm new here, but I love all the stories I have been reading on this site and there are so many people here that impress me with their knowledge of the band, their music and their back story, that I felt I had to join.

Honestly, I would love to be able to say I grew up listening to Fleetwood Mac, and that my parents were/are huge Mac fans, but that wouldn't be true.

I obviously have heard/known about Fleetwood Mac for years, but no one I know (then or even now) really listens to them (it's weird I know). I actually just started listening to them one day all on my own (I really am not sure why) I think I saw an article about them and I was curious because like I said I have heard about them for years , but, just didn't know much about them. One I started listening though I became hooked and now they are truly my favorite band. So, that's why I'm here, I have NO ONE to talk to about my FAVORITE band and it truly sucks. So I hope you guys will take pity on me and help me out by talking to me about MY FAVORITE BAND because like I said, I have no one else to talk to. (uggh... I'm so pitiful)

I started reading everything I could about their history (particularly Stevie & Lindsey) and "studying" Stevie and Lindsey's lyrics and have a pretty good understanding of the band and their history.

All I can say is WOW that's a bunch of messed up people ;), but I love them and their music anyway. I think my favorite is Lindsey (I don't want to upset any Stevie fans, cause I love her too). I know Lindsey can be an ass and acts arrogant sometimes, but he's so honest and I really respect that about him. You very rarely see that in a person and it's even rarer in a celebrity. Also I know he' s married with 3 kids but I am such a romantic (like Stevie), I gotta love how he still loves her after all these years. I know a lot of people on this board say he's happily married (and I really do hope that's true).

I have in all honesty always respected the sanctity of marriage, but Stevie and (especially) Lindsey break my heart and their story is so sad, that (for the first and only time) I feel like Gods gotta give them a pass on this (if they ever do get back together). These two have suffered more than any couple I have ever seen, and they should have some happiness while they still can get it.

Hope I did not offend anyone and if I did I apologize in advance (now and in future post) :p

[Dex]

Welcome Deeshere! I too was deprived of "growing up with" Fleetwood Mac's music despite my parent's age making me an ideal candidate for that. My parents were never big music lovers and we really only listened to the odd film soundtrack in the car growing up. Most of my musical education was self-taught from my late teens onward.

I can find a lot of people who enjoy FM on a casual basis, but when it comes to the depth of knowledge and passion, this place is unrivaled. Hope you enjoy your time here. :)

Welcome! New members are the lifeblood of The Ledge. We welcome you to talk about all the reasons why you love this band. We also welcome you to discuss all your frustrations about this band. You might offend some members with your future opinions because Stevie, Lindsey and Christine have many defenders here, but your words will always be of great value to me and many more of us as well.

[Deeshere]

Thank you both for being so warm, kind and accepting.

I have been on other sites where it seems that anyone new is not welcome, but everyone here seems very nice and I am sure I will like it here. :nod:

[TimeCastASpell]

Hey everyone!

I'm new here (though I feel like I may have been a not very active member around a decade ago?). My name is Tzipora. I'm in my 20's and I call myself a lifelong Mac and Stevie fan though I suppose I technically got into them in my preteen years. They were a big part of the music I feel I grew up on. In fact I can still remember exactly where I bought and first heard most of their albums. And the joy when I was in my early teens and started hanging at a record store and set out to find Rumours on vinyl and succeeded! I was also really into gothy dress and music and shawls and capes and all. And I have so many memories of shopping for clothes and rattling on and on about how "Its so Stevie!" Or "Oh my gosh Dad, LOOK! A Stevie Nicks-esque dress!!!!!" And I was a big writer. I blatantly stole certain lines of Stevie's and threw them in my poems. And every story I wrote for years, the main character was named Rhiannon! And occasionally Sara or Stevie. Think I was maybe introduced to Stevie first around the release of Trouble In Shangri-La. I was heavy into dance (Stevie being a dancer always held a lot of appeal) and I remember my favorite dance teacher playing the album. I was obsessed right away!

I don't think that obsession ever really died. At least I've never stopped loving FM and Stevie but I got older and life happened and all of that. I also ended up getting really sick in the last several years. So I'm on disability now and have a handful of rare life threatening severe diseases. And that's basically taken over my life. But I had a beautiful reprieve two weeks ago when I got to cross off an item from the top of my bucket list!

I saw Fleetwood Mac in Detroit for the first time!!! Took a friend who likes them but isn't really a big fan and we were both blown away. And for me it was hands down the best day I've had in forever. We waited forever to buy tickets (kind of hard when you're on a fixed income and my medical treatments are wildly expensive. And hard to trust how I feel but I said I didn't care if I ended up in the hospital the next day, I WAS GOING TO SEE FLEETWOOD MAC!) We ended up with really cool seats. I use a wheelchair so we sat in accessible seating and were on the side of the stage and up. We were closer than most actually. It was pretty awesome. Except that John was on the other side so I could hardly see him and Mick was blocked by the cymbals of the drum set much of the time. But I got some AMAZING photos of Stevie and Lindsey especially. And I was singing along to every song. I couldn't even speak the next day because I was so hoarse from screaming! And disabled or not I was even up dancing half the time (as was the other person in a wheelchair near me. Fleetwood Mac is just that good! ;) and was dressed in Stevie-esque clothing and a vintage penguin logo shirt. I had the most amazing time!!!

So now my obsession is roaring. Haha. My friend keeps telling me I've "got it bad". I'm constantly quoting songs, sending him links to interviews, rattling on and on about how now I have to meet them! And I would give anything to spend the day with Stevie.

And it makes me happy. No matter how much pain I'm in or how crappy my life can be, I just love listening to Fleetwood Mac. I feel like I'm at the concert again. It gives me something to focus on. And Stevie has probably influenced my life in various ways more than anyone. Very little connects my past when I was a healthy dancer to my present but my love of Stevie and FM does. I'm so grateful for that. I'm so glad they're still rocking after all these years too. I always thought I was born at the wrong time so I'm glad I finally got to see them! And watching Lindsey run around the stage, my friend and I agreed he's got more energy than the both of us 20-something's together!

Anyway, not sure how active I'll be or not. I hope to but my joints are deteriorating in my wrists and fingers and its very painful for me to type (and I'm rambly ;) so I don't even type much or get to do art which I love anymore. But I'm definitely around lurking and reading and getting my fix of the Mac!

[vivfox]

TimeCastASpell, I am glad you are here. Fleetwood Mac's music can be a very warm, comforting and healing experience. My best to you. Welcome!!!:xoxo:

[The Highwayman]

Hello, all.

I'm new here but not new to FM/SN/LB. Been a fan of all three since about 1997-1998.
Stevie is my favorite member of the Mac, but man Lindsey is a very close second. I love both their solo work as well, and feel that Bella Donna and Out of the Cradle are the two best albums Fleetwood Mac never made. Wonderful stuff. Bella Donna particularly; it's perfection.
Anyway, I've never seen FM or Lindsey live, but I did go see Stevie live back in 1998 on her Enchanted tour. It was wonderful, probably the best concert I ever experienced.

My favorite Fleetwood Mac album is a 3-way tie between Rumours, Tusk and Mirage. I'm leaning more towards Mirage, though. My favorite FM song is 'Gypsy' with 'Dreams' in second place.

My favorite Stevie Nicks solo album is absolutely Bella Donna. A distant second would be The Wild Heart. My favorite solo Stevie song would be 'Sleeping Angel'. Utterly beautiful.

My favorite Lindsey Buckingham solo album is of course Out of the Cradle, followed closely by Under The Skin. My favorite solo Lindsey song is either 'Soul Drifter' or 'Cast Away Dreams'.

Haven't heard too much of Christine's solo work, and don't own her three solo albums, though I hope to at some point. I may be a Buckingham Nicks junkie, but I do love Chris and I really miss her in FM.

Anyway, look forward to babbling on about everyone's favorite soap opera musical, Fleetwood Mac and its five fireflies.

[Desiree]

Hi everybody! I'm Desiree. I've been a fan since the Bob Welch FM days, but I'm a Rumours Band girl! And, I love me some Stevie Nicks! So great to see FM coming back around to such good reviews! Don't know what the future holds but it looks pretty good right now! I love the music, the relationships and the mystery....fabulous!

[Dex]

A big (and from the look of your join date, belated) welcome to you, Desiree. I've been enjoying your posts here very much! Keep it up. :)

[Desiree]

Thanks, Dex! I've always loved this site, lots a lovely, funny people who live and let live as much as possible! Hard to when emotions run high but obviously possible! I like that!

[PinkCollins]

Hello. Long time lurker here.

I am a UK fan here. Only 23, but I've been a fan of FM for as long as I can remember. Tango in The Night is my top album from the Rumours lineup - but only because I remember it being played in the Car as a kid. Big Stevie Nicks fan too, very envious of her vocal abilities.

[Dex]

Welcome aboard, PinkCollins! :) Wherabouts in the uk are you based?

Hi! I'm 23 too, but an FM fan too!! My fav album from the Rumours lineup is Mirage. I'm a Lindsey fan but Stevie is a great singer and a very talented musician, I love her music!!
Welcome!
Mark.

[TotallyTusked]

Heyyy I'm Bec! Long time lurker of The Ledge forum, down here in Australia, and I decided over time that I wanted to add to lots of stuff on here, so I did the obvious and got an account! Woohoo! Anyway, it's awesome to be here!! I'm only 14 years old and a BIG Fleetwood Mac fan. They've been my fave band since I was about three years old and I heard Landslide for the first time. ;) (but the best FM song for me is probably Beautiful Child)

Erm, my favourite Stevie solo album is Rock A Little, just love Talk To Me and If I were You, the album itself didn't do as well as the 2 before it but I just love the music.
And my favourite solo album of Lindsey's is by far Go Insane. Somehow it just does it for me. More electric than the traditional instrumentals on his other albums. Just different and awesomely weird, I suppose.
I really don't know a thing about Christine's solo stuff, never really followed through with it as much as SN or LB's.

I'm definitely a Tusk girl, coz I love the creativity in it and the contrast from Rumours, that's what makes FM as a band stand out for me. And the fact that Lindsey did a lot of the work by himself is kinda inspirational. :)
I love both Lindsey and Stevie probably the most (it's sooo hard!).... Lindsey's so incredibly talented in every way and Stevie's voice is amazing. Again, glad to be here! :D

[Dex]

Welcome TotallyTusked! Hope you enjoy your time here. How cool to be a FM fan so young. :)

Jeesh. You guys know what music I liked when I was 14?







Celine Dion. :(

Mirage is strangely my least favourite

Nope not at all. If that was because of my username - it's actually a favourite Cocktail of mine.


Thanks for all the welcomes!

thanks for the welcome guys, again, glad to be here! :D

Wow, I thought to be one of the youngest here, anyway welcome.

[Desiree]

Wow, I thought to be one of the youngest here, anyway welcome.

I just love the age range among FM fans! Of course, my children and their friends started listening to FM while in utero, my son at two years old did the best imitation of LB's NTF ever and spot on! Learned it watching the Mirage concert video! They are now 25, he is a musician, btw...and 28 and we all go to shows together, always have! You young ones probably were infused like mine, lol! Can't wait to hear your take on things! :)

[Macfanforever]

I have to say welcome to the Ledge everybody .Its nice to see all of you younger FM fans are enjoying the band like I did when I was a teen back in the 1970's.

My nephew is 25 and loves classic rock music including Stevie/Lindsey and FM and he can't stand the current music.

[moon]

Hi, TotallyTusked, and welcome, aussie!! :blob2:

[vivfox]

My nephew is 25 and loves classic rock music including Stevie/Lindsey and FM and he can't stand the current music.

I'm 51 and the late teens/twenty somethings crowd is so impressed that I love the music they listen to. There are a zillion great songs that are new and I think you are doing a dis service to yourself if you ignore music just because it was released in the 21st century. Personally I would be bored ****less having to listen to the same music all my life.

Nailed it, Viv. I'll never begrudge anyone the right to like what they like. But it seems absurd to just write off an entire era of music. Especially in an era where Stevie and Lindsey's influence on the general music scene has arguably never been higher, and you don't even need to get out of your pyjamas to discover tons of great new music.

Nothing against your nephew, MFF, I just think he's really missing out and that's sad.

I must say though, there is a certain age range that seems to be the most impressionable music-wise. I'm 26 now, but my taste in music seems more or less defined by my musical discoveries when I was 18-23 or so. I'm not consciously shutting new stuff out, but I've noticed I'm not searching for new music or exploring new genres with anything near the fervency I had a few years ago. I miss my new-music-enthusiasm sometimes, but when I talk to others about it, this seems pretty normal.

Hahaha.I understand what you two mean.

It probably sounds like I shut off all of the new artists and music.I'm not condemning it altogether.

They are some good new artists and new tunes out there but the new stuff dont do justice to my liking probably because of the lyrics and auto-tune they use today.

I just cant get into it like I used to.

I love old music. I love new music. People who say 'music isn't good anymore' are just stuck in the past, living in nostalgia. And it varies. I've heard music isn't good anymore, since 1968, since 1972, since 1977, since 1987, since 1991 - it's all baloney to me. Music is still good. Great, in fact.

I'll be 40 in....a little while, and just today I was aksed if I still listen to the same bands I listened to in my teens and early 20's. I was delighted to say 'Nope' (except for FM and Stevie). Most of my favorites now are bands or singers I've discovered within the past 7-10 years. It's great - there's so much out there! You just have to work to find it, and be willing to *listen*. People don't like to listen anymore; they're too busy checking Facebook updates, living in our ADHD society.

On another forum, someone posted their own Top 100 Albums of all time, and another poster said something like...

I see there's nothing on your list after 1991. If I had to listen to that list of albums for the rest of my life, I'd kill myself.


:laugh: And I feel the same way.

However, I do feel I should say that it's *harder* to find great music nowadays. Radio plays a list of 15-25 songs on repeat, and DJs have no say in their playlists. There are very few record stores. There aren't record clubs anymore (BMG, RCoA, Columbia House). There are tens of thousands of albums released every year just in the United States (about 75,000 on an average year), and most people will only know about .0133% of them - or about 10. How can you buy or hear or love music you don't even know exists?

It's a shame, really.

[KarmaContestant]

It's usually only used for people who can't sing or have issues with key and melody. Like....Katy Perry. :nod: I really doubt anyone like Ray LaMontagne, or Neko Case or even Adele would use autotune. They can actually sing!

I agree about radio .It does not matter what format the music is.They play the same handful of tunes over and over again.They dont let more of the new artists have a chance to get their tunes played .its the same for the well seasoned artists too.

I put the blame on corporate radio on this problem.They bought most of the ma-pa stations out.I like tuning in college stations because they play anything.

It probably was me that made the list and commented about anything after 1991 was not in the faves list.LOL...

I actually like some 1990's music.

I happen to enjoy some of those 12 inch singles I've been getting from my friend down the street.

Yes I was shocked that my nephew liked the old stuff over the new stuff which he is 25.

His older brother and younger sister likes the current tunes which they are two years in age apart.

Some day when you are as old as Skip(MFF) and I are now, there will be a really old man(me) listening and liking the music of the modern day and you might just be an old crumudgeon hating what you hear. Hopefully that won't be the case. I'm fond of Skip the person but not fond of Skip the music critic.

Hahahahahaha.LOL Sorry Viv. A music critic.I should put a application for a music reviewer job with the Rollingstone mag.LOL I probably get fired in a week because of their sales will drop with all of my negative reviews. Plus my crappy English writing too.

I know I'm in a rut and one of those persons that dont like changes and living in a time machine with the buttons for the current life are broken and cant get out of the past.


That like at the supermarket last night .I buy the same ole food every week like vanilla fudge ice cream every week .I got to try another favor.

I know I got to get a life.

My father-in-law, in his 60's, has an iPod and loves P!nk, Fun, Macklemore and Maroon 5. :laugh: He's always got the latest hits.

[Desiree]

I'm 56 and I listen to almost everything musically speaking, always have, always will. Music is the background of my life!

Hey, my name is Sam. Been lurking here for a while, but just made my first post. This seems like a great place to be. :wavey:
Fave member of the Mac? *points to icon*

Welcome!!! You'll always have to travel to see this band because they've never played the Philippines.

[applebucked]

Thanks for the welcome!

Welcome!!! You'll always have to travel to see this band because they've never played the Philippines.

I KNOW. Not even during their peak. :( The nearest tour stops are in Australia, but I have no money to spare.

FM has always been an expensive proposition! Number 1. Tickets. 2. Travel to get there. 3. Merchandise. Gotta love them, and I do!:blob1:

[Dex]

Australia is a long way to go from the Philippines (or anywhere else, for that matter). Especially for a single concert. "Expensive" is an understatement, Desiree. But perhaps in the future the timing of things will line up right and you may be able to see them, applebucked. :) I never have. I'd love to, but I'm more than happy with the studio recordings and live footage that are more accessible to me.

Welcome!

[applebucked]

That would be a far-fetched scenario and I don't know if I'll spend my money on a FM concert since my favorite member is basically retired and footage of the current tour don't do much for me (maybe if Chris somehow rejoins full time, which I doubt). :laugh: But I'm happy with all the bootlegs I've accumulated.

[BigLove]

Hi everyone! :wavey:
I´m Malin, a somewhat on & off-fan since I first heard Big love (hence the nick) when I was about 13. I just loved the lyrics, the music and Lindsey´s magnetic eyes. Oh la la... not easy to resist for a teenage girl with daddy issues. ;)

I guess I´m more into Stevie´s solo songs than Lindseys, but both are very dear to me and I´m a sucker for their romantic & chaotic story. (Who isn´t?)

Hope to meet some nice people here and learn more about FM from you guys!
Feel free to ask me anything. :)

[Dex]

Lindsey´s magnetic eyes. Oh la la... not easy to resist for a teenage girl with daddy issues. ;)


Oh my goodness. Iiii'm pretty sure we're going to be fantastic friends. :laugh:

Welcome! My family spent time in Sweden last year and by all accounts had a brilliant time. I'm gutted to have missed it but it's definitely a goal of mine to get up there one day.

Enjoy the place, Malin!

I only just spotted this thread. I wish I'd seen this first rather than getting carried away with all the John McVie stuff (asking for posts to be removed etc :shocked:) I joined the Ledge a couple of weeks before the news about John, but I hadn't posted very much.

I'm a big FM and Stevie fan, but lately I've really been enjoying Lindsey's solo work too. I recently watched his concert at the Bass Performance Hall and loved every minute.

I came across the Ledge a couple of months ago when I was looking for more FM info. It helped me to solve all my little FM puzzles, and is an amazing source of info.

Well hello to everyone. I work at a wildlife centre on a Friday so I must get ready to go.

Well everyone's definition of "cool" is different. When I moved here some people's reaction was "what the heck are you moving there for? There's nothing there!"

I like wild places and wildlife in general ;)

I saw a baby seal close up for the first time yesterday, it got temporarily stranded on my local beach. It was so cute and that was definitely a cool moment!

Where do you come from originally? And do you have a village or region name I could use for googling purposes? I'm, a huge fan of Wales generally. Definitely the prettiest bit of the UK.

I'm not a huge animal enthusiast but for those that are I can't imagine a more rewarding and interesting job.

Another new member! My name is Annefloor and I am from Amsterdam. Went to the concert on the 26th of October. Seeing Fleetwood Mac has been a big wish since I was about 12 years old ( I'm 29 now ). Now my wish is to see them again (and again, and...). Never considered myself as a big fan, although I have always loved their music, but since I saw them in concert the only music I'm playing is FM, SN and LB...

Welcome to The Ledge. I can tell by your username that you love the song Landslide.

Thanks! Yes, I really love that song, always thought it was a little boring, but than I heard it during the concert and I fell in love with it. I think the lyrics are great and I love the seasons of my life metaphor.

[Autumn Ocean]

Hello Ledgies. This is my first post, so I hope I'm doing it right! You can probably tell from my user name that I'm a Stevie man. I've loved her music since I was 14, though since then have come to love all eras of the Mac. I'm looking forward to joining in the discussions, having followed The Ledge for a while now. Any Ledgies in Melbourne, I'm new here and would love to meet other fans. Dion.

Hello Ledgies. Dion.


Welcome to The Ledge. We have something in common. My very first apt. was on Belmont Ave. This is your first post, Dion and The Belmonts. Get it??:lol:

[Autumn Ocean]

Thanks, Vivfox! Of all the name jokes I get, I like Dion and the Belmonts the best. Dionne Warwick is okay. Celine Dion... Not so much. She's a crime against my hearing.

[vivfox]

Celine Dion... Not so much. She's a crime against my hearing.


She's a prime example of what you hear in Vegas should stay in Vegas.

Agreed. The thought of Celine in Vegas made me picture her on stage with a troupe of scantily clad women, a la Showgirls. It did put a smile on my face.

[ChickenStu]

Hi I'm ChickenStu. Sorry guys only just saw this thread.

I'm 36 next month and a huge fan of the Mac. I remember many songs from Tango In The Night from my childhood.

About three years ago I bought my first copy of Rumours on CD and realised that the hype it gets was 100% justified. I also bought the Greatest Hits that has the green cover with the flower on it.

Wanting more about a year ago I got Tango In The Night, Fleetwood Mac, Tusk and The Dance. Then shortly after I managed to get tickets to see them.
To celebrate I bought the new three disc version of Rumours and gave my old copy to a friend.

That was Feb 2013. Over the course of the following year I bought ALL the other studio albums by the Mac. Starting right back from the Peter Green days.

I downloaded Extended Play in May on the same day our family got a new cat! Everytime I hear "Sad Angel" I think of him! (I actually wanted to call him "Fleetwood" but the kids insisted on calling him Toto after another one of my favourite bands)

This is my Fleetwood Mac collection on CD

Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac
Mr Wonderful
Then Play On
Kiln House
Future Games
Bare Trees
Penguin
Mystery To Me
Heroes Are Hard To Find
Fleetwood Mac
Rumours
Tusk
Mirage
Tango In The Night
Greatest Hits
Behind The Mask
Time
The Dance
Say You Will
The Chain - 25 Years

On 27th September 2013 myself and my best friend Nick saw them live at the 02 Arena in Greenwich London. It was a truly amazing night and both of us really got a kick out of the gig.

I found this site through google since I just wanted to find someone to chat to the Mac about!

I've got two daughters who are 7 and 5. They love listening to the Mac too! They love singing along to "The Chain" which is probably my all time favourite tune by the Mac.

Other bands I'm into are Toto, Genesis, and Steely Dan. Nice to meet you all!

It really is rather spectacular, isn't it? Except for a particular story arc in season 3, but meh! The cleverly and elegantly assembled new season 4 redeems all sins, in my book. Glad you're enjoying it. :) How far along are you?

Chicken stir fry is amazing too! I basically just really like chicken. On everything. Ever. Try not to be too intimidated by my worldly and sophisticated palette, though. I'm a human, just like you. ;)

Literally just about to start season 2. I've heard that about season 3. Sound like they did a Twin Peaks on it and tried to get TOO clever. Oh well. Jason Bateman says or does something that makes me laugh in EVERY episode. That is ONE FUNNY guy.
Loved him in Paul aswell.

(However as a good Christian man I must repent for the impure thoughts I've had about Portia Del Rossi. I'm a bad, bad person. LMAO!!! )

LOL. If you like chicken here's a little recipe. Something my Mum taught me.
Let's assume you're making this for four/five people.

Take five or six fairly well sized chicken breasts. Wrap them in a strip of bacon each and put in a casserole dish. Then chop up a fairly large onion. Peel about five or six potatoes and slice them into fairly generous slices. Throw the onion and potato on top of the chicken and potato you have in the casserole dish.

OK. Then make up some chicken stock using about three or four chicken oxo cubes. Add about three or four crushed cloves of garlic and mix that in. Pour this on top of what you have in the casserole dish.

Put a lid on the dish. Cook in the oven for 90 minutes on 180. When finished serve onto dishes. But here's the kicker: With the chicken stock remaining make a gravy. Thicker the better using chicken gravy granules. Pour that on top. Then you've got a healthy nutritious meal for all the family!!

If you love chicken then that meal is heaven. My kids LOVE it!

Thanks for the recipe! Will have to try it out when the husband is on a night shift (he was sadly born with absolutely no inclination towards chicken) ;) It sounds pretty fantastic.

Yeah, my wife isn't too keen on it. My step-son WILL eat it but he'll eat anything lol. My daughters LOVE it though. I warn you, it can be a bit on the salty side. Some people like that, some don't so it just depends on your constitution.
