an old TFette friend who lives in LA, offered to let me crash her house when I was in town.  a modest bungalow just over the mountains, San Fernando valley.  said when she and her husband bought the home, the title chain had one "Mick Fleetwood" as an owner, in the late 70s.  I couldn't but wonder if the band ever stayed there, or if it was a mere coincidence, re the name.

story was semi-confirmed once. a guy said Mick Fleetwood, in that era, bought a shiatload of LA real estate but the market crashed and he got dimes for his dollar for his investment.

/other distant connection to FM;  my wife had a professional acquaintance with Stevie Nicks' brother, within the last 4-5 years.  he said it was the strangest thing, in the 70s, 80s, "to see my kid sister on the cover of, you know, 'Rolling STone', or hear here on the radio, Casey Kasem say her name."  aid they talked about once a month and whenever she played Phoenix, he got the super mega golden ticket VIP experience.

BullBearMS: I've always found guitarists who can pick out multiple melodies simultaneously with their fingers instead of strumming out one chord at a time to be impressive.

he was on Marc Maron podcast (not that he hasn't spoken of his style elsewhere, for decades) but anyways, 2-3 years ago he was on.  said, of his style, a guitar fell into his hands somehow and he just started pecking away at it. says, basically, he didn't the "right" way to play it, but started playing along to records and his own natural, "necessity is the mother of invention" fingerpick/clawhammer hybrid style developed itself.

something about not learning "chords" until he started playing with local bands.  "theyd be like, 'what are you doing?'  and i'd be like, 'what the hell are you doing?'"
