We get away with Dreams but I would love to do other stuff.
Anyone from my area interested??? WE could have a FM jam session. How cool would that be!

Very cool! I'm in a Fleetwood Mac cover band, essentially just for fun (we gig when we can) for the past five or six years now. We've worked up (or worked over) so many Fleetwood Mac songs I couldn't tell you. However, one we've never tried is the Bob Welch song "Angel" from "Heroes Are Hard to Find," & I love that song. I think I'm going to insist to the others that we at least try it. I recently got myself a Nord Electro v2.0 (which I strongly recommend to keyboard players who play a lot of Fleetwood Mac -- it's perfect for FM music) & you set that baby on the suitcase Rhodes voice with the phaser & you can really kick on "Angel." It's sort of become my little personal Fleetwood Mac anthem.
An old friend of mine & I actually recorded a spacy version of "Songbird" a few years ago in the recording studio at Capitol Records & we burned it to DAT & CD. That's the only complete FM song I think I've ever recorded in a serious recording environment. It's got a hip-hop beat & lots of vibey Korg sounds. I love it when people cover Mac music in strange ways. "Patron Saints of Pop" is one of my favorite albums.
