Actually I was thinking they should do the show as a benefit and donate the proceeds to cancer research...

Probably would be George Hawkins.

What about Al Ortiz? He already knows how to play all of Stevie's FM tunes.

what a great idea and how appropriate would that be!

Oh, that would be a very amazing idea. I'm definitely on board!

I would be all for that...

Or maybe cajole Christine to play the Vegas gig? I think she would be inclined to agree if asked.

Plus there would still be a Mac in Fleetwood Mac. John would also really like that and at this point, she would probably do anything for him.

If you are going to include former band members (Christine) then why not go one step further and issue an open invitation to ALL former band mates...It would be quite a show and a great way to show some love and support for an old friend...And what better place than Vegas...

That's a great idea. I wasn't sure Chris would go all the way to Vegas to play, but if it's for John I bet she would do it.

and if she does do it and will play Songbird in the end, I'll just rip my heart out of my chest.
