I never really though about that, but it makes sense.

I wasn't a FM fan back then, but I know Dave Mason was/is popular, but was that not enough to get people interested in the "new" Fleetwood Mac?

Would like to know the dynamic of why he wasn't.

There's a Christine solo concert on youtube from back in '83 with Todd Sharp, Billy Burnette and others. So yeah Todd Sharp would seem like a nice fit cause that band sounded great!

Also is it just me or are the conversations on the Post-Rumours forum more interesting that the other forums? Perhaps it's just me and my interest in those ten non-Rumours era years.
