Gary "Hoppy" Hodges Q&A on Tumblr
 
Working with Gary for a Q&A on tumblr very similar to Richard Dashut's

He was Buckingham Nicks' drummer and percussionist from 72 to 75.

Sara Fleetwood, ex-wife of Mick Fleetwood and background singer for Stevie Nicks has also joined us

garyandsara.tumblr.com

It should be working.

This is a lot of work. Gary is a very nice guy though. Anyone have questions?

Gary has spelt a lot of info on BN2. Here's what he wrote in the email.

Question: When was the last time you saw the Mac?

Answer: I attended a concert with and had dinner with them prior to the limo ride over in Oh 1975 or 76,, last time I saw them was probably 1981.

Saw them in Sausalito, LA, Dallas, during the making of “Rumours”. I would go with them after dinner or something, we always hung out you know, we were in a band together for 5 years in LA.

I saw and hung with them from 1971 to 1981 in LA. It’s been a while since I’ve seen them in the flesh. We all used to live together and practice and record and hassle gigs, we really paid some dues together. In the trenches together, fighting the good fight. Recording at Sound City very late at night, after hours.

We actually started work a second album there in the late, late hours with Richard dashut engineering. We had already cut the studio versions of “Rhiannon”, “Blue Letter”, “Monday Morning”, “I Don’t Want To Know”, and many of the songs you heard later with Fleetwood Mac. Despite that, we record songs that never found a home “Heartbreaker”, “Telephone”, “Sunrise”, “Lady from the Mountain”, and others. Probably 10 or 11 tracks cut in 74′.

There are many missing tapes, what you’ve heard is not all we’ve done. I recently heard Stevie’s new album and I noticed two tracks “Lady” and “Cathouse Blues”. We did those songs. They were recorded. I thought Cathouse was on Buckingham Nicks.

I would see them on to road or in the studio or at a hotel lounge or dinner or out in LA at their respective homes.

"Mick ruined my life as far as i’m concerned. When we first saw him, I thought he had just crawled out of a concentration camp. He smelt terrible. Like dead fish. He was terribly thin. Like starving kids in Africa. I’m cut from that cloth, mick is worth less than any member of FM. "

Holy crap!

Why is the site down? All I asked was what his impressions were of the McVies and Fleetwood trio.

Can you tell me what he wrote about the others? And his answers to the other two questions I asked?
