If You Could Hear Me Think... (Wednesday Thoughts #2, 11/30/22)

Missed my chance to post a Wednesday morning entry, so I’m doing it now. Just a few quick notes…

Frank Black Friday! Time for a Laurel Hill ‘Hot Spots’ Tour!

Thanksgiving Day was fun. I continued my long weekend the next morning listening to many Frank Black solo songs (it was Frank Black Friday, after all) as I drove to Laurel Hill Cemetery to go on a tour led by my fellow tour guides Tom and Pattye, who always lead a day-after-Thanksgiving walk around LHC. I always enjoy Tom and Pattye’s tours! They have found and researched a unique set of LHC permanent residents and they clearly telling these stories together. It is a testament to the size and scope of Laurel Hill that there are Tom and Pattye’s general interest tour includes only two or three stops that overlap with my similar tour. We do share opera singer David Bispham, though the story Pattye tells, of Bispham making some major career decisions because of messages received from a planchette (think Ouija boards!), is not a story I tell when I talk about him.

Christine McVie

I am sad to hear of the passing of Christine McVie. While I always say that I’m TeamLindsey when it comes to Fleetwood Mac songwriters, the fact is that I have always enjoyed what all three of the “classic lineup” songwriters — McVie, Buckingham, and Nicks — brought to the Fleetwood Mac table. I read someone’s comment today that of the three of them, McVie was the emotional center of the band, and I think that comes through in her Mac songs, as well as the solo tunes on her self-titled album from 1984.

Pie List!
