diskwave Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 (edited) Just played along with Everywhere, feeling a tad emotional. All my teen heroes gradually leaving us...man this has been bit of a shock...such an important part of the Mac and such an ordinary unassuming person but super talented.

machinehead Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Such sad news. As I get older myself, I tend to forget how old some of my musical heroes are. Frank. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beedster Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Very sad news, in many respect the glue that held FM together. Loved the BBC documentary about her life, what a life and what a talent. RIP 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balcro Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Very sad. Stevie Nicks said she didn't know Christine was ill! I share tauzero's shock that she was 79! Only saw her once, back in '69 or thereabouts, with Stan Webb's Chicken Shack; that quiet but essential presence. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grenadillabama Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 A perfect chick to have in a band. She played good, looked good, sang good, and wrote hit songs. In the early days at least she moved her own gear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted December 3, 2022 Author Share Posted December 3, 2022 I'd have liked to see her move the grand piano she used on Songbird. Seriously though, IMO her contributions to FM are vastly under-rated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickeyboro Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 From sixties contemporary Bob Hall… talking of pianos. Memory of Christine McVie (née Perfect). Back in the day club pianos were often out of tune and missing notes. Club owners had their pianos painted more often than they were tuned and pianists had to develop all sorts of ways around it, transposing where possible and working around the missing notes. Savoy Brown and Chicken Shack were with the same agency and I found a real improvement if we played a gig after Chicken Shack. Christine was a rather limited pianist in those days and apparently lived up to her name, insisting that the piano was tuned to concert pitch and in good shape before she would perform. Thanks Christine, you made life much easier for those who followed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP Christine I remember their version of "I'd Rather Go Blind" on an old Peel sessions tape I had years ago. I had no idea it was Christine.

Beedster Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 One of my all time favourite songs, so much about it that is so perfect, 50 years old but sounds like it could have been recorded yesterday ❤️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
