Funny Mick story. When I was 12 or 13 we were on vacation in the blue ridge mountains. We heard an ad for the Peach tree festival at the rockingham speedway. Three days of rock and roll. Sister was 17 I guess. She talked Mamma into going. The hotel where we stayed had the little window above the door. It was so high there was no curtain on it. Sister started going crazy, pointing to the window. She was saying, "look, it's mick fleetwood." He heard her and looked down into our room.

Later on I saw all of the band in the pool. Lots and lots of rock and roll acts staying there.
