Just like the white winged dove, sings a song sounds like she’s singing Oooh...Baby...Ooh...Baby...Oooh
Pick of the
Week
“The Edge of
Seventeen” by Stevie Nicks (1981)
Her voice is one of the most instantly recognizable female
voices in pop music. With her platform boots, her top hat, and shawls, she developed
a ‘mystic’ persona. She could have easily been the inspiration for ‘the Witches
of Eastwich’. She sang lead on “Dreams” from the phenomenal Fleetwood Mac ‘Rumors’
album;
the only single to go to number one on that album. Other classic songs ‘Mac’ with the Nick’s stamp on them are “Landslide”, and “Silver Springs”.

Doctor, my eyes have seen the years and the slow parade of fears without crying. Now I want to understand.
70’s Song of
the week
“Doctor My Eyes” by
Jackson Browne (1970)
The first time I really paid attention to the Jackson
Browne “Running on Empty” album I was at a friend’s place; actually his older
sister’s. We were playing charades. I
couldn’t believe we were playing charades – it seems pretty lame to me; I
already had a pretty healthy cynicism about me in my teens. What had caught my
attention though was the Jackson Browne album on the stereo. When it was my
turn to demonstrate something and my clue was’ Deep Purple’ I was kind of
useless
