What will be your Christine celebration?

[Karlie]

This is such a good idea, to get in the mindset of celebrating her rather than wallowing in the pain. Thanks for this.

So many things. Tonight I’ll probably listen to the Songbird compilation on vinyl and watch her 1983 solo concert on YouTube. Next week, I’m hoping to get my first ever tattoo, one of the birds from the Kiln House cover, in honor of her. I’d also been learning Got A Hold On Me on the piano and I’m now determined to finish and be able to play it in full.

In the long term, my husband and I are going to be in Europe this summer and I’d love to spend a few days in England visiting important places in Christine/FM history - like the town where she was born, her home in Kent which is now a yoga retreat place, venues where early FM and Chicken Shack used to play, etc.
