My little Stevie moments....
 

:wavey: Well, I haven't posted all week, cause I've been working crazy hours.... But somehow I managed to have a few "Stevie" moments to get me through it all.

The other day I was listening to 'Rhiannon Live', and I just randomly looked out my window, & three starlings all took off together... and I swear this must also be "Rhiannon" week, because I got into the car yesterday, turned on the radio, & 'Rhiannon' was playing, & just before it ended, I passed a street called Welsh Road.... :)

The other moment is actually quite adorable.... I work at a summer day camp for kids 5-12, this week was "Boys vs. Girls Week", so they were playing alot of games & stuff.... Anyway, they had to line up facing each other, I was helping the girls, and they kept moving up.... So I kept yelling, "you girls need to stand back.... if you don't stand back, we're not gonna play the game... Now I said to stand back!" Well, out of nowhere, this one little girl starts hopping up & down, singing "Stand back, Stand back! It's alright, alright! Cause we're standing in a line, standing in a line....." It was sooo friggin cute!!!

Oh, BTW.... the Girls Won! :thumbsup:

That sounded cool...
 

I have that happen before to me on numerous occassions, just not necessarily Stevie related though.

That is cute. It always makes me happy when kids know Stevie.

This week, I heard "Paper Doll" in Kroger's and "Thrown Down" at Outback Steakhouse.

THat's Awsome!, I sing and say random stevie and mac lyrics to the kids I work with too ;) Glad Im not the only one! :laugh:

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Awesome Stevie week!!! Gotta love that lil girl (or her parents good music taste)
Doesn't it seem like sometimes there is just a Stevie Vibe going on? :angel:


MY WEEK,
I'm reading High Plains Tango, a book that has nothing to do with Stevie Nicks written by Robert James Waller a kinda cowboy poet. Anyhoo the first sentence is now part of my signature. This book's main storyline is so Stevie/Lindsey it's weird.

My daughter is using JohhnyStew's "Tusk mix", with his permission of course, as a baton routine for competition. She has been practicing non-stop in my back yard. AWESOME routine btw~ even better than her "Don't Stop" routine she took to nationals last year....sorry I had to brag :sorry: ;)

Her HS band is also doing a Fleetwood Mac montage for football halftime shows. Since this is band camp week and I live very close to the school I hear FM all day long from the practice fields. I went to see how it was going and the flag corps all have Rhiannon dresses, ribbon strewn tambo's and Stevie Boots. The drummers want Mick's dangly balls but the band director doesn't know how well that will go over. I’ve been begging for this since my daughter got into HS, the director finally relented after the kids fell in love with "Tusk" after hearing JohnnyStews mix. :blob2:

I was at Blockbuster & my friend kept picking up DVDs to read the backs. I drove her crazy with all the Stevie mentions. (She picked up Gypsy83, Practical Magic, Fast Times, and several others.) Finally she shouted "Damn it, why don't we assume Stevie's involved in everything on the shelves and just pick out the damned movie!" :laugh:

I would pay good money to see this. Do you have a camcorder or have you taken any pictures? I would love to see this. Wow, a flag corp all dressed up like Stevie... awesome. :thumbsup:

Here in Rowlett TX.. there is a bar named "Fritzs".. and the VERY NEXT bar is "Nicks Bar and Grill"..

Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Ciao!

That's so cool! I'm in Colorguard, but our music is picked out by the band director and he doesn't even know me, so there's no way I could bug for us to do Tusk! We still have to pick out a lyrical song this year for competition season and I've been trying to find a good Mac/Stevie song! <333 Batons and flags

Are you kidding!!!??? Of course I will be taping them :nod: If you are interested I would be glad to send you as copy. Actually depending on how large the file is I might do a YOUSENDIT thingy.

I'm so very excited not only that they will be doing it but even more so that they as a group requested Fleetwood Mac music for their halftime show. Every year this debate is very contentious and of course they normally go for contemporary bands and thumb their nose at anything older than three years old. Of course the band director has final say but he considers the overall opinion of the band. In fact, prior to this I think the song they most wanted to perform was Hollaback Girl.

I have to give kudos’ to this band director because he normally uses music the kids are not normally exposed to and tries to get them interested in things outside of POP culture. For instance last year the halftime show consisted of classic rock act like Led Zepplin and Deep Purple. Let me tell you these kids probably had no idea who these guys are!!! He not only gives them the song to learn but also helps them explore the genre with music theory and so on.
So this year they are getting a FM lesson complete with music theory, instrumentations, lyric interpretation, and the FM story. Not every kid has fallen in love with the music but a fair amount have. I dare say, even the band director has gained some respect for the band he told me a few years ago were corperate rock with the big eye roll.
Already the band has shipper and non-shipper factions…Lindsey heads…chiffon heads….and so on. Its like a bunch of mini-ledgies :lol:

I listen to them talking about Lindseys mastery...Stevies powerful lyrics..Peter Green...Christine..."freaky Mick" I am peppered with boot requests from some of the kids. They have listened to evwerything from bare trees too SYW, OOTC to TISL. It's just a great feeling sharing my obsession!!!!
I just think it's awesome that he can get these kids so excited about the music they play that he gets them to really listen and feel it. The same thing happens every year with who ever they are playing but this year its MY BAND and I am all warm and fuzzy about it.
Especially when I see 15 Stevie's on that field twirlin and one of them is my daughter. You know how Stevie always said her Rhainnon outfit was like a uniform and perfect for every body type, well she is right those girls all look great out there!! They got the GDW "shadow of a woman" hand gestures in the routine the High kicks, the tambo the boots, the hair.

They watched The Dance and God it was so freakin cute!!!! They were just in awe of Fleetwood Mac. When they saw Silver Springs the whole room was just dead quite..... sooo cool :) :) :) :) Those kids were in an absolute tizzy so much speculation and discussion about SS. hee hee too cute I say!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

the current revised (many times) setlist for my daughters marching band~
>Tusk
>Oh well
> I’m so Afraid
> Rhainnon
> Rumours Medley: Go Your Own Way, Gold Dust Woman, Second Hand News,Dreams
> Gyspy
> Finale:
> Don't stop

I too would love to see some video of this marching band and the flag corp Stevies. When I was a high school senior in 1981-82, I was never much of a football fan (though I am today) and our yearbook staff worked the concession stands at every home game. During halftime, I would take my break and watch the marching band and the twirlers (we had no flag corp). I wanted them so badly to play 'Tusk' but when I asked a friend, who played basoon, if they'd ever considered it, she said they would never do it because it was a "devil song". HUH? We had a great band, always placing first at competitions and stuff but they were very old school.

So yeah that whole FMac routine would be amazing to watch.

Oh and that little girl that started singing 'Stand Back' from the first post? coolest kid in the world.

This all sounds so cool. I'd love to see the pictures or tape...I want to see all these mini-Stevies!!!

Sharing the obsession is so much fun too, I remember the person who first gave me "Rumours" (My MIL-to-be), she was just so animated watching me fall in love with FM. Now I have been sharing my obsession with my little sister, and watching her twirl around the kitchen to Stand Back makes me grin so hard!!!

where can we hear the JohnnyStew mix?

I went to the post office to mail out a huge Mac trade today. While I was at the post office mailing the package Rhiannon was playing on the radio that they had.
