Bekka vs. Bonnie. While I love Bonnie's voice, I think Bekka got the best of both parents.

Thanks for the reply, very much. I totally had forgotten that Dave Mason had ever been in Fleetwood Mac- gosh, Dave Mason was such a 'name' for so long and I haven't thought about him or heard about him in many years. It would have been awesome to think of Stevie, Lindsey and Dave Mason all performing together, but wrong lineup. What a break for a young Bekka Bramlett to be surrounded by players like Mason, Fleetwood and McVie. I'd hoped someone would say Bekka was 'better' than Bonnie, who I can kind of appreciate (and actually love her wacky backup vocals on 'Never Ending Song Of Love')-- but basically, I think Bonnie Bramlett, for the most part, oversang, and often sounded unauthentic, as if impersonating a Sippie Wallace, or just trying too hard to sound 'soulful'-- it sort of ruined her voice's actual, real quality- for me.
