So, now that the Paul Collins trib is over, the Who/Townshend thing
is done, now it's time for Fleetwood Mac. I'm not going to take much
time to explain that the Fleetwood Mac is more than the post-punk
kneejerk hate-able successful Buckingham/Nicks version of the band
(at coke worst, better than any band we'll ever be in) that made
plenty of great songs along the way. Just take my word that
Fleetwood Mac had a long career because they kept the rhythm section
and (despite any whims) kept changing the faces with the times, and
not to be compared with Mac Davis, or The Starland Vocal Band.
I got swept up in the tribute thing this time because I do the sound,
but I'm very happy to be a part of this. These guys did a supreme
justice to Lee Hazlewood, and now they're onto the MAC. They're good
enough at this that people feel compelled to tell THEM who to cover
next. Life is a challenge; when you're good, people start pullin' on
you. I've suggested some ideas to them myself!
I'm stopping here, but read below, the rest of the story is there-

PS I'm singing Sentimental Lady

From the same group that brought you McCartneyfest, and The Lee
Hazelwood Tribute (My Baby Cried All Night Long)... Dustystax and the
Gold Star Band are proud to present...
Walk a Thin Line - A night of Fleetwood Mac
24 of The Mission's finest musicians and singers (including members of
Citay, Camper Van Beethoven, Jackpot, Harbours, Marabelle Phoenix,
Pillars of Silence, The Herms, Two Sheds, The Court and Spark,
Prairiedog, and more) will pay tribute to the music of Fleetwood Mac.
Twenty years of the band's music will be represented... starting from
the down and dirty blues of 1969's English Rose, through the 3 smash
albums of the late 70's, and into the sugary sweet 80's of Mirage and
Tango in the Night. Two sets - 25 songs! 21 singers including...
Meryl Press, Chris von Sneidern, Victor Krummenacher, Tom Heyman,
Spencer Owen, Josh Pollock, Jason Kocol, Kira Lynn Cain, Noelle
Cahill, Miguel Zelaya, Sarah Bird, Donelle Malnik, Sarah Bethe Nelson,
Stephanie Finch, Brian Sullivan, Anna Wren Woodrum, Jeffrey Luck
Lucas, Heidi Alexander, and Nile Nash.
The band includes Marc Dantona on bass, Tom Heyman and James Finch Jr.
on guitars, Rusty Miller and Matt Lebofsky on keys, Anna Wren Woodrum
on vocal and percussion, and Chris Sipe on drums, plus special guests!
ALSO special guest DJ Kurt spinning "Sailing" Soft-Rock
at The Make-Out Room
Sunday March 1st, 8 pm
On a sad note, we will miss our bandmate Justin Frahm and his great
contributions to this project because he has to attend a family
funeral. Our thoughts go out to the Frahm family.
