My friends only knew the usual hits, Dreams, Don't Stop, etc., mentioning those were the best.

I then put The Dance version of Songbird, at full volume. They were speechless, stunned, barely said wow or something like that. The kind of wonderful moments I had thanks to Fleetwood Mac.

Songbird is a great song. However my favorite and the best version is the Rumours 20th anniversary special when they tried to recreate the magic and they put roses and champagne on her piano. Her singing alone without an audience is so powerful. It moved me so much that I was going to play it at my mother's funeral but the full song is nowhere available. They only show little bits of it. With life its sometimes those little morsels that are so good but we only get a taste. Songbird on her solo tour was fantastic too. Performed in small theaters.
