🎂 It was on this day in 1946 that Peter Green was born, making today what would have been his 80th birthday!
Never heard of Peter Green? Well, if you're a Fleetwood Mac fan, you owe him a big thank you! 🎸
Long before Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham joined the band, Peter Green founded Fleetwood Mac in 1967 as a British blues band. In fact, he named the band after drummer Mick Fleetwood and bassist John McVie!
Green wrote some of their early classics, including "Oh Well," "Need Your Love So Bad," and "Black Magic Woman." Yep, that "Black Magic Woman," which Santana later turned into a massive hit! You can even hear some of these older songs from local bands like Love Valley that plays "Need Your Love So Bad."
🎸 And here's a little guitar history for you. Peter played a legendary 1959 Gibson Les Paul nicknamed "Greeny," famous for its unique sound. He later sold it to another guitar great, Thin Lizzy's Gary Moore, and today it belongs to Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett! Talk about a guitar with some history!
Peter left Fleetwood Mac in 1970, and the band eventually evolved into the Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham, and Christine McVie era that most people know today which are arguably better karaoke songs.
