I came to this "middle period" Fleetwood Mac quite late. Knew the multi-million dollar era by being a kid in the late '70s and then the "purists" hipped me to the Peter Green era, but this Bob Welch era seemed to pass me by until middle age, as it were. Better late than never. Great album cover on this LP, too.
Avatar 3:27pm

Kirwan, Spencer and Green are all still alive, though (I think) only Green is still active in music. I was surprised they all made it through the eye of the 60s needle ...

Producer Jerry Wexler: "Teddy had wonderful taste and cosmic chutzpah. Teddy was the embodiment of Norman Mailer's 'White Negro.' He had a green card into the black nation. He married a black woman and … lived black. Before any of us, he also understood how to make a buck off music—and brilliant music at that. Teddy was a freelancer and a wheeler-dealer who suffered no fools and took no prisoners. He could be rude and crude. He smoked enough reefer to launch a rocket. Some considered him a liar and schemer and self-serving schmuck. I liked him. I liked the music he made. I liked the fact that he delivered. Were it not for guys like him, the world of recorded jazz would be considerably poorer."

The summer my folks moved down to Maryland, I didn't know anyone down there and was pretty bummed. I drove around a lot.
