I remeber seeing Little Lies on music video channels as a little kid. I thought Christine looked pretty scary in that big straw hat - lol!!!!! (These days I'm still scared - by Lindsey's lip-synching!)

The 97 Dance hooplah passed unnoticed to me, being young and in Australia. But about 1999 when I listened to the classic hits station every morning on the way to school I got very intrigued by the song with 'miracles' and 'the ways of magic' in it, which was played so much it became like a game with myself to see if I could catch it. Then investigation into the world of FM ensued. I got the 88 GH cd and played it lots, but it was 'Sara' which I dubbed to a tape of my favourite radio captures, a tape which I listened to ad nauseum during my final high school year doing homework etc. Sara worked its magic!

That's the point I'm still at after all these years. It's Christine classic pop that got me at all interested in them, then it was Stevie's magical voice and lyrics, then it was realising the talent of Lindsey behind the arrangement and production of them both. And of course the legacy of the earlier FMs miantained by John and Mick.

I'm 19 now, 2nd year uni. My CD collection grows steadily, including Greatest Hits, The Dance, Tusk, OOTC, The Dance DVD, and (when it goes on sale in a week!) VBOFM. (plus the Rumours LP)
