It was the summer of '78, I was 14 and babysitting for my sister & her husband & of course the minute they leave I turn on the stereo, nice & loud & notice this album cover sitting there, it was "Rumours" of course & the album was on the turntable & I thought "what's this"? So I sat on the floor against these massive 4 foot high speakers (remember those?), listening to this very unique voice, staring or should I say studying the album sleeve thinking who is this "BEAUTIFUL" girl? (It was Stevie of course) and for some reason "Second Hand News" stands out (maybe because it was the first song on the album, or maybe it was "won't you lay me down in the tall grass and let me do my stuff" part, hehe, I was only 14). I also remember hearing "Dreams" on the radio all that summer and thinking, ooooohhhhhh, this is Fleetwood Mac!
