In his riveting debut, Where the Birds Never Sing, Jack Sacco recounts the realistic, harrowing, at times horrifying,. The award-winning novel Each Little Bird That Sings (2005) is the rare example of fiction for young readers that tackles a difficult and even taboo topic with humor, grace, and without flinching.

Background[edit]

The song came to Christine McVie as the band was finishing up a recording session at the Sausalito Record Plant.^[1] McVie wrote the song in half an hour around midnight, but didn't have anyone around to record it. To ensure she did not forget the chord structure and melody, she remained awake the entire night.^[2]

Producer Ken Caillat loved the track and suggested she record it alone in a concert style approach. Their first venue of choice, the Berkeley Community Theatre, was unavailable, so the band instead booked the Zellerbach Auditorium for March 3, 1976.^[3] To create the appropriate ambience, Caillat ordered a bouquet of flowers to place on McVie's piano. He then requested three spotlights to illuminate the flowers from above. When McVie arrived at the auditorium, the house lights were dimmed so her attention was immediately brought to the illuminated flowers on the piano.^[4]

For the recording session, 15 microphones were placed around the auditorium to capture the performance.^[3] The recording session went into the next morning due to the difficulty of recording the song live in one take.^[4] Lindsey Buckingham strummed an acoustic guitar offstage to keep the tempo.
