Amen and well-put.

I was thinking the same thing. This is why I come to the Ledge. This was a great gem...I never knew about this song and love Stevie’s vocals in the mix.

Here is Michael Curtis speaking about the origins of "Southern Cross":

OMG!!! I have loved Southern Cross since it came out, and never realized the connection with Lindsey, Stevie and Richard. That's pretty cool. It was always my favorite non-FM song! Along with We Run, from Strange Advance.

There's another track on YouTube by The Curtis Brothers called She Gives Me Her Love, on which you can hear Stevie on background vocals. I love finding stuff like this, that I never knew about!

On the Blue Letter Wikipedia page it says The first was "Blue Letter", which, like many of the songs on the Fleetwood Mac album, was intended for the second Buckingham Nicks LP. Unlike "Blue Letter", the second demo titled "Seven League Boots" was not adopted by the group...

I think this is the demo, or is there another version?
