MFBB Conspiracy Theory

[OldTimer]

I guess the first version of the MFBB did have John. I found the blog of a Maui photographer with a photo shoot of the originals -- Mick, Rick, and John.

Mick has also teamed up with longtime friend and bassist of Fleetwood Mac, the legendary John McVie, and Rick Vito to form the Mick Fleetwood Blues Band. Though the lineup changes from time to time with Lenny Castellanos subbing for John on bass for some dates. MFBB played it's first date in St. Louis a month or so ago and have several more mainland gigs in the works. This band is resurrecting the ball busting blues tunes of early FM member and guitarist Peter Green, dusting of classics like "Oh Well', " Rattlesnake Shake" and other songs from the catalog of what many musicophiles consider to be the glory days of Fleetwood Mac. Rick V. is a Peter Green devotee and has that dirty guitar tone Peter was famous for down pat. I got to attend a couple of the band's rehearsals a few months ago and was blown away by both the sound and the material. There are a couple of shots above from tour poster shoots showing me working with the band

John must have decided he'd rather be lounging on his boat, so they kept Lenny Castellanos as the bassist, who's got a great on-stage persona, in addition to being a terrific bass player. Adding Mark Johstone and his awesome bluesy/jazzy keyboard work was a great move, too. I really like this band a lot -- you probably already guessed that....
