I see that once again Jesse you are showing great taste.
I collected most Mac and Stevie Nicks albums and videos.
I have several old Betamax ones my favourite being Stevie's incredible concert video
White Wing Dove that I must make a DVD from
I have been fortunate to see the Mac twice , first years ago in Wembley London and a couple of years ago in New Jersey.
plus another NJ concert with Stevie accompanied by Sheryl Crow
As some may have noticed I am always keen to promote my birthplace ,Sherborne in Dorset and am very pleased to take this further opportunity
It is a fact as confirmed in his autobiography
(that I have) that Mick Fleetwood was for a while a boarder at the Sherborne Public (i.e. Private-fee paying) School which has existed since the 8th century
As Mick is a year younger than me and I went to a county paid boarding school in Sherborne we very possibly passed each other around town at some time.
Another famous old Sherburnian was the computer genius and wartime codebreaker
Alan Turing
To learn more about the school see the inevitable wiki at:-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherborne_School
the imposing gateway into the school quad
the crest is that of King Edward the VIth who refounded the School in 1550 as King Edward's school and to this day it is known locally as "Kings School"
from a great Mick Fleetwood "biography" site

"to a spell at King's School Sherbourne (sic), "the first of two boarding schools, a gorgeous place", from which he persistently ran away"
