I have always made it to the front of the stage at every attempt, you just have to read the crowd, read the security, be aware of our surroundings,

I really enjoy it when I can take others to the front when they think that they have to remain in their seats, done this several times, with no push back from security, mind you I was not at The Taj Mahal on the 27 August 2010.

Anyways, check-out my video from Turning Stone on the 25thAugust, where everyone got along just fine;

I second that. I stared at them the whole time wondering why her platform boots peaced out.

Damn it, she even makes being blind incredibly cool... 'magical outlook on life'? Where does she come up with these things? God love her.

Excerpts from:
Omaha Rainbow, Issue 22
Autumn 1979

The "Bombs Away" Interview
John Stewart interviewed by Peter O’Brien
September 21, 1979
Montcalm Hotel, London, England

Speaking about working with Stevie on "Gold" -

"Mary Torrey is a friend of Stevie Nicks and when Stevie came down to do ‘Midnight Wind,’ we were going to mix ‘Midnight Wind’ and I really wanted her to sing on ‘Gold.’ Because when she did ‘Midnight Wind,’ she heard ‘Gold’ and said, ‘Oh, I really want to sing on that.’ And I didn’t have the money at that time to put her on. I said, ‘I can’t do it without seeing that amount of money.’ We’d all had a few drinks at that point and what you say at four in the morning half in the bag is not what you might say in the cold light of a sober day.

So when she came down to do ‘Midnight Wind’ I had ‘Gold’ out prepared - I had it up ready to go and pretended I was mixing it or whatever. I could tell when she walked in by the look on her face that she was not gonna sing that night. She just had that ‘I ain’t singing’ look on her face. So I said, ‘Stevie, I’m gonna go out do the tag on this song - let’s you and Mary and I go out and sing the end.’ Well, Mary began to cry and I went, ‘Oh, my God, what did I say?’ Stevie said, ‘John, this is Mary’s dream to sing on a record.’ I said, ‘We’ve got to go out and do it.’ So we went out and did the tag and Mary was singing and crying.

I had the lyrics to ‘Gold’ written out on enormous cue cards because Stevie really can’t see too well. Mary went back in the booth and I grabbed Stevie and said, ‘Stevie, come on, let’s just do the verses on this song. It’s not gonna take long.’ I said, ‘Turn the tape on,’ so they turned the tape on and held the cue cards out and I put my hand over Stevie’s mouth when she wasn’t supposed to sing and hit her in the back when she was and she did it in one take and I got her on the song."

I was curious about Mary Torrey so I googled her. Figured I'd post this here picture I found. yep. That's Stevie, Mary Torrey, and Paul Kantner (from Jefferson Airplane- he and Grace Slick have a child together - thanks Wikipedia!)

I believe Mary Torrey was a friend from the college days too. She's in a some of the old photo shoots I've seen.

Nope, that's Jenny Fleetwood!
Mary was also at that party, here she is on the right:


Mary appears in lots of pictures with Stevie, not only in photoshoots but she also went to lots of event with Stevie, like the Grammies and the Sunday Break in '76:



Everybody always talks about Robin and forgets about Mary but I'm convinced she is just as important to her as Robin was.
Here are some more pics of them together:

Sweet pics you got there. I swear, Stevie looked like she was 12 in that visor pic.

BTW, what's Sunday Break?

And I apparently hit an image limit there, so I removed a few

Hmmmm, maybe this was the "Mary" Stevie dedicated landslide to at the Foxwoods 2010 show. I remember her saying something like "I'd like to dedicate this to Mary. I know you probably thought I wouldn't remember, but I do."

I wonder whatever happened to Mary?

Married Liberty Devitto in '84, got 3 beautiful daughters (one is an actress), divorced somewhere around 2003. I'm sure her and Stevie are still friends, the most recent pic of them together is from '06. Here's her facebook: http://www.facebook.com/people/Mary-DeVitto/1146375838, I noticed both Gordon Perry (Lori's ex) and Sara Fleetwood are her friends, it's nice to see how they are all still in touch.

She- while squinty- looked me in the eyes. I have no doubt that she's legally blind without prescription lenses, but I don't anyone can doubt that she's still functional in this area.
