Songs on Saturday ~ The Chain
there’s nothing wrong with the car, except that it’s on fire
Back in the great days of motor racing, before it became a procession of ugly electric slot cars, the iconic commentator and pundit on the BBC was a chap called Murray Walker ~ famous for getting it all wrong at the best time. The music for the opening credits for the Grand Prix show on TV was The Chain by Fleetwood Mac.
This is the short version.

Murray Walker passed away about a year ago. He loved this lotus 72 as driven by Emerson Fittipaldi
Tunes on Tuesday ~ Fleetwood Mac
a chain is only ever as strong as its weakest link
I listened to this track on vinyl yesterday ~ the album Rumours. The beat is incredibly powerful when you’re playing analogue music on a proper record player.
The guitar riff was used for many years as the opening theme for the BBC’s Grand Prix motor racing program. There is a world of difference between how the digital version of this track sounds, and the experience you get from the analogue track.
It’s an album I’d play if ever I beak rule #2 and have a woman up here in the garret.
Please listen responsibly.

Lotus 72 ~ the most successful Grand Prix car of all time
Songs on Saturday ~ Fleetwood Mac
even seven would not be too many…..
Seven wonders….. why is it that most legendary, mystical, and magical things all come in sevens. Except the three witches of course ~ maiden, mother, crone.
I remember this from the days of my youth, when Stevie Nicks was second only to Debbie Harry in young boy’s dreams. And just who is Sara?
Please listen responsibly.
