the best of the original fleetwood mac






just got back from town. quiet village.
craft fair in Masterton and lamb and calf day at Dalefield.
Samoa played the Boks in Wellingotn last night so
a lot of people would have gone there.
Posters from my favourite movies today.
Feeling fantastic dudes!
hehehehehehe.
Included the best of the original Fleetwood Mac CD.
Back in the day of the British Blues Boom of the 60's
the bands seemed to specialise in particular styles.
The Mac at first had Jeremy Spencer who had the
Elmore James slide style down pat. Mainly in D
but some in E. Peter Green brought the
single note B.B. KIng arpeggio style into the band 
and they more or less had it all.
Careful listening will let the beginner hear all
the subtleties and riffs with an ear.
Elmore James was all about drive and 
zing while  the single note style
is more cerebral.
So take your pick.
