Silver Springs from The Dance

[HejiraNYC]

In the old Usenet days, I remember seeing that someone had posted an advanced WAV clip of "Silver Springs" in the Fleetwood Mac newsgroup. I remember being completely shocked that they even attempted to do this (my fave FM song at the time) and I was dying to find out how it sounded. So I proceeded to download it via my pokey dial-up modem onto my "capacious" 210mb hard drive, which took three. farging. hours. The three longest hours of my life. While it was downloading, I was fretting about all kinds of things- Did she change the melody? Did she change it to a lower key? Will it be anywhere near the original? Needless to say, all of my fears melted away when I finally played it. I was completely blown away and then some. My first reaction was "Mama's back."
