BY AGE 30…

Today is the birthday, in 1943, of Christine McVie, keyboards, vocals, Chicken Shack, and then Fleetwood Mac, who scored the US No.1 single ‘Dreams’ taken from their worldwide No.1 album Rumours which spent 31 weeks on the US chart. Eight of her songs appeared on Fleetwood Mac’s 1988 Greatest Hits album. McVie died at 79, following a brief illness, on November 30, 2022. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3ywicffOj4

First THURSDAY in December

Today is Great Union Day in Romania.

This public holiday is always celebrated on December 1st. In Romanian, it is known as ‘Ziua Marii Uniri’ and may also be known as Unification Day or 1918 Union Day. It is the National day of Romania and celebrates the Union of Transylvania with Romania in 1918.

R.I.P Christine McVie. When McVie first wrote the anthemic “Don’t Stop,” she was trying to create a song that would cheer up her ex-husband, and also hoping that Fleetwood Mac would survive the making of “Rumours.” Twenty years later, when the band reunited for the live LP “The Dance,” the song had not only helped “Rumours” become one of the best-selling albums in history, but it had also been the campaign song of the then-current president.
