Hi Steve. Wasn't Chris's bad solo tour in 1969? and the whole thing with Peter leaving in 1970? I think she has said she just sounded terrible and didn't like not being part of a band. not sure it was related to what was going on w peter at that point. She has said many times that she joined FM because she wanted to be with John. i'm sure she never thought it would be a forever thing. I've always been curious as to if she would have stayed if Jeremy hadn't left. maybe she would've come back home and said 'screw it, i wanna be a housewife again, i hate all this traveling.' who knows.
