What a big change to both FM and "Rumours" if somehow IDWTK was selected for the first record with Stevie and Lindsey - assuming it would have replaced "Blue Letter" since it wasn't written by one of the three or maybe "Crystal". And I assume "Silver Springs" would have made it on "Rumours" although we may have not gotten that terrific "Dance" version of the song if it did. The band made the right decisions for those two records, imho!

Interesting stuff this radio station is..
When I first heard the Dance version, I didn't like it. Now, I love it. The singing is a bit bellowed.. .but in the end.. the emotion, piano, guitar, harmonies, and STevie's stage presence make it a wonderful experience.

She knocked it out of the park, even tho she didn't have the vocal chops of the Rumours days.
