Some nice Fleetwood Mac anecdotes are a-flowing…the guys clearly are having a great time.

Viv...Thanks for posting that link...I went over to Von Johins house yesterday (7/16/) about 4pm....We all set up ( me, Von, and Cypress Rose) soundchecked...then had pizza until Cypress's set began. I played maracas and guiro on Von Johins set, and then when I went on.......it's all a blur, but it was very fun, relaxed......like playing in a club. Von has a huge upstairs studio, and he was projecting the 2nd life action onto a flat screen , so we could see comments etc..
We all predict that, maybe even less than 10 years from now, it'll be full blown 3d holographic real-time interactive performances...Quantum computers running in parallel will have the muscle to do this.

All in all, it was great fun ! Von Johin and I go back a long way...he set up the 1st "online interactive interview and midi guitar lesson" with me in '92, on "Compuserve" (remember them ? ;-) using a 386 processor and a 2400 baud modem ! ;-) We've come a long way since then ...

Best,

Bob Welch
