Oh wow. I really enjoyed this. I am so glad the piano landed in the hands of someone that appreciates it and is not just some random collector. He was friends and business associates of Chris. How freaking incredible that the piano has Chris's playing built into the hard drive. You can have Chris playing the piano at your house anytime you want. To see those keys move with her left hand proves its Chris. So cool and so amazing that he shared his story with us. I am so happy he has this beautiful piece from Chris.

I don’t know if I could handle that.

This is exactly why I was completely fine with Christine, Mick, and John auctioning off these items. Not only did a percentage of the money go to a cause they’ve supported for years, but because it insured that many of the items would be preserved for many many years to come by folks who truly appreciated them. And in some cases, may be available for viewing by fans, such as in this video.

When he told of how much Chris traveled the world recently (while not touring) really interested me. Its almost like Chris had a premonition 10 years ago that told her she had 10 years to live. What she accomplished at her age during the last 10 years is nothing short of amazing. Few conqueror their fear of flying let alone at her age. She grabbed life and said, I am going to see and do as much as I can these last 10 years. She goes back to Fleetwood Mac for 2 world tours, makes an album with Lindsey and tours with him. Then we hear about all these business dealings and her flying the globe. It really something. At times she struggled singing and even playing yet NOTHING stopped her. She is an inspiration to US ALL.
We miss you Chris. We hear your music you left us even on your grand piano.

very well said. I completely agree. she was such a strong, amazing lady. i am grateful every day that she was able to get out of that isolated, agoraphobic funk and get back into life, doing things she loved.

It’s sad she was isolated. I had this romantic image that she owned a small village tavern with a piano and she’s occasionally go in and sing things like “Mean Old World” and “Get Like You Used To Be.” Instead, she was all about her dogs.

Great video! The blues number was a treat, possibly a basic improv that she used to test the hard drive’s recording capacity? Nothing terribly original but indicative of her style of blues playing. Notice, too, that she didn’t rush the tempo at all, which is tempting to do with a twelve bar blues piece on piano.

I loved the back half of the video where Brian discussed his personal experiences of working with Christine, loved that she remember the child’s name (after hearing it only once), that she took bull**** from no one, and that she traveled extensively in the last few years of her life once she’d conquered flying.

What a treasure of a person, what a fulfilling existence.
