I remember being about five or six years old and my father always put on music in the morning to wake us up for school. I remember LOVING "Dreams", "Crystal" and "Rhiannon". I started asking a ton of questions about the lady in the black ballet outfit and for a little while I thought Stevie was the guitar player and Lindsey was the ballerina!

My Mom was a huge Stevie fan and she definately got me addicted. My first memories of seeing them live were when my parents took me to a Mirage show and a Wild Heart Show. I do not remember too many details about those shows but I do remember my Mom telling me that the guy who was playing around with Stevie in between songs was "Joe Walsh". I remember them horsing around, sort of wrestling and laughing. I then made her take me to see the RAL tour. When LB left in 87, I was crushed beyond words and did not even want to go to see that tour without him. I also really missed the old Stevie around this time and could not quite put my finger on what was "missing" when I would hear or see her. She was just "different". I saw her for Street Angel and she was rocking and enchanting once again. I was super excited when it was announced that FM, including Lindsey would be performing at the Clinton Inauguration and I stayed glued to the tv watching all press coverage and interviews the band did. I remember that STevie did not attend most of the interviews for some reason. I saw Stevie again in Boston, in 96, and after that show I was not sure I would see much from Stevie ever again. Along comes the Dance...magical, captivating, enchanting Stevie is BACK! My fandom reached new heights when I got involved with the internet community. I can not imagine my life without their music, particularly Stevie's. I have so many memories of different times in my life and the songs that were big at those specific times. Like RoF was hot when I was in my fist year of college. Street Angel came out when my second son was born. TISL was released when I was leaving on a family vacation to Florida. There are so many other private memores I just cannot imagine my life without them.
