Some FRITZ info for you:

Fritz (full name: The Fritz Rabyne Memorial Band) was formed in the fall of 1966, and its original vocalist was a young lady named Jody Moreing, pictured at left, and also included her cousin, Cal Roper, Bob Aquirre and Lindsey Buckingham. After Javier Pacheco was asked to join, the group was named, as he recalls, "from a student's name as a kind of joke." By the summer of 1967, Cal and Jody had left the group to go off to college, and by late summer the group was comprised of Brian Kane (lead guitar), Bob Aguirre (drums), Javier Pacheco (keyboards), Stevie Nicks (vocals), and Lindsey Buckingham (bass) and on vocals. The highlight of the Class of 1967 Graduation Party was an after dinner performance by the premier senior band, Fritz. According to Javier Pacheco, "Fritz initially practiced at Lindsey's house in Atherton. After 1968, the band was privileged to rehearse at the Italian Gardens Restaurant (banquet room) in San Jose. The owner allowed us this semi-permanent arrangement. So we didn't actually have to drive "up and down" the Peninsula every single week for rehearsals (except for those of us who lived in Menlo Park/Atherton). Most of our gigs were in Santa Clara County." They began their professional career in 1968 as one of the major local acts in the San Francisco Bay music scene. This core worked together approximately three and a half years. The majority of songs by Fritz were written by Javier Pacheco and "spoke to the human condition"-- "Yellow" (about the media), "Product of the Times" (conformity), "Empty Shell" (the ego), "Bold Narcissis" (more ego), "Sharpy" (about slick-talking agents), "The Power" (about finding God), "Eulogy" (about rebirth), "Existentialist" (about intellectual self-gratification), and "Crying Time" (about the death of innocence). When Fritz disbanded in 1971, Lindsey continued to work with bandmate Stevie Nicks, eventually becoming romantically involved and releasing an album, Buckingham Nicks, in 1973.
