Loved Feetwood Mac during this period, and Stevie Nicks in particular :). This song in particular has always stayed with me as one of their best :)

My third Sara of the week, #songswithgirlsnames this time by Fleetwood Mac with the beautiful voice of Stevie Nicks

summer is closing (though the weather don't know it) and a picnic at dusk at the park while this was playing was a pretty fine way to send it off.

A great song that's beguiled me for years, had to read up on the story behind it. It left me with more questions than answers. Fantastic band, in all its' guises.

Let me urge you to ignore the naff video accompanying this 'non-Greeny' Mac toon. It was my only way around WMG. Heard another toon on RadioGaBlah today, transporting me to 1979, but I'm Sara-ing it instead, simply because it's such a mesmerising, peerless song. Tusk followed the truly immense Rumours. How to follow that? Mac changed the formula. I was given the album by Isobel, who was in the factory I worked in at the time (first proper job). It was my last day and she came up to me with her gift, kissed me & ran off in tears. Me, being an idiot, didn't realise she'd had a crush on me for months. '79 also had me on holiday with 3 amigos in Corfu. "Don't overdo the woyyyyn" (wine in drawled Australian) said Brendan our Rep. However, as hardened beerists, it was advice we promptly ignored & later on our first night, Retsina'd to the eyeballs, we broke the windows of our own flat to get in, having lost the keys. Glasgow eejits on tour. So, wine, women & song... a bloke's hendiatris...

'Sara' projects a zoom lens towards the Henley, Nicks, Fleetwood, Recor quadrangle. The four sides are criss-crossed with overlapping triangles of love and regret. “When you build your house…. call me…”
