Please disregard - got posted twice. Not sure why. I don't see the "delete" feature for some reason.
Mods, please feel free to delete one.

Yes, Peter Green wrote the song. He used to play guitar in Fleetwood Mac and also formed the group, in 1967.
He also did the vocals on many of the early songs. Mick Fleetwood was the drummer and John McVie played the bass. They both still are, I think...
Years later, after Green had left the group, Lindsey Buckingham (a composer, singer & guitar player!!!) and his girlfriend Stevie Nicks (she used to be gorgeous!!!) joined the band.

Maybe another "Addicted Ledgie" can tell you even more about the band!
