" A Change of Seasons"

Since it is now over a year since I first started this blog, I am going to try to do something different.  As well as documenting my journey to becoming a singer- songwriter, I would like to incorporate posts on those singer- songwriters who have inspired me.  I will pick one each month to discuss and hope that I can incorporate some of their influence into my writing.  I am doing a lot of writing lately and have a lot of ideas floating around in my head.  It is helping me through a difficult time and hope that it will help see me though to better days to come.  If you which to share or interact with me, I would welcome any suggestions....

Christine McVie is a singer songwriter from England.  She was in Fleetwood Mac and also had a successful solo career.  If you listen to songs like " Say You Love Me" from the " Fleetwood Mac White Album" or " You Make Loving Fun" and " Songbird" from the " Rumours" album , you'll hear the beauty and simplicity of her songwriting.  She has a beautiful way of expressing her feelings and making the lyrics relate to anyone.  Her last album, " In The Meantime" seems like a seamless work of art.  She takes you through a complete journey of the ups and downs of a relationship.  It seems like the words just flow out when she writes which is a wonderful gift.  For some it takes years for this to happen and for others it just magically appears.  She is one of my musical heroes and even though she does not tour with Fleetwood Mac anymore ( she has retired) I am grateful for the wonderful music she has shared.
