From the Houston Chronicle~

Starstruck
Rocker Stevie Nicks' visit to Houston for her stint onstage at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion sent Maxine and Bubba Silberstein, prez of the Silberstein Group, over the moon. And not necessarily because she is their fave songbird.

The Silbersteins' daughter, Steffani, is Nicks' massage therapist and follows the former Fleetwood Mac singer on tour. That family connection earned Mom and Dad VIP treatment and prime seats at the pavilion.

Bubba reports that toward the end of the show Nicks shared with the audience how special Steffani was to her and to her entire crew and that Steffani's parents were in the audience. Nicks then dedicated the song Landslide to Maxine.

The dedication was especially meaningful because Landslide was one of the first tunes that Maxine had danced to when she began her professional dance career several decades ago. Maxine performed with Joan Karff's New Dance Company and Contemporary Dance Collectives. And for more than 30 years she has been director of the Jewish Community Center's dance department.

Bubba e-mailed, "After the show, we had a wonderful, long visit with Stevie, who was most warm and gracious."

Thanks for sharing that. When was that in the paper? I was looking for something about Stevie in the Chronicle and couldn't find anything after the concert.

Hi JJ!
I found it written in the "online" version, which was dated July 24th, 2005.
You can see the whole page : Here.

Hope that helps :) Barbara

Thanks Barbara

I have a colleague who knows this family well & has been telling me about her massage therapist friend, but until I read this I didn't really believe her claims. Half the people I know claim to know somebody who knows Stevie when they discover I'm a fan.
