I was 17. living in London. Great! What a time. My lead guitarist was a phenomenal 15 year old whizz kid who later went on to great things in LA himself. I heard this song and went nuts. I have no ear but I figured this one out on my own. Called my guitarist and said " Guess what I just figured out? " He said " No way" so I played it to him over the phone. The rest is history. Thank You Peter for all the memories and all the Great Music. Yes, I know, later line-ups went on to greater commercial success but.....

No such thing as in the future here its, "going forward". (Which is actually present tense). Managers quips who think it makes them sound clever when in truth theyre incompetant.

The piece of music we played at my dad's funeral. He was a child/ teenager of the 60s and an avid record collector. He lapped up music from his home nation of Britain, especially early Fleetwood Mac, and loved a lot of US artists too. This was the song he always told us he wanted for his funeral. Glad we got to make your wish come true, dad. Miss you x On another note, this piece is truly beautiful - it conjures up this feeling that, no matter what shit deal you experience in your lifetime, that the release of your consciousness from the confines of your physical body and back out into the ether upon death must be intensely blissful. To me, this piece of music is like that experience in music form. So peaceful, balmy, like you're on the most pristine Hawaiian beach with not a care in the world - removed from the societal pressures, emotional pain and the general restrictiveness that can occur with the human experience.

The first Fleetwood Mac song I ever heard was "On Well". That was supposed to be their genre. I loved that song until I heard Albatross. I have ear worm as the call it. When you can't get a song out of your head. Usually from hearing so much. Well, I listen to it every day. Especially just before bedtime. It makes me relax and it's the best instrumental of all time, in my opinion. Like all musicians that died before their time. I always wondered what songs they might have written for us to enjoy. Maybe love.
