In some turn of fate or something as I was in the funeral procession for my great uncle John this came on the radio in the 90s.

99 years old he was.

What stories and deep understanding he had.
 
Song: Homeward Bound
Artist: Fleetwood Mac





Another female singer from the 1970s whose contributions came from working within a band.

Christine McVie was more than accomplished vocalist though, she also played keyboards and composed some of the group's best songs.
 
Song: Order Of Magnitude
Song: Cotton Candy
Artist: Doug Smith









Here are a couple of songs from Doug Smith's first album, released in 1990.

If you like John Fahey and similar artists you may enjoy this. IMO, exceptionally well-recorded and worth listening to on headphones.
