We`re going to give one winner $5 in LR if the correct answer is given before my next clue.

After each clue it will go down by $1.

Rules - No editing of posts.

You may have as many guesses as you wish.

Another member must guess in between yours.

I need the full name of a female whom a song was written about. The song title, however, only contains the first name of this person. Also, who wrote the song?

Sharona Alperin

"My Sharona"

by The Knack

QUOTE
According to lead singer/guitarist Doug Fieger, he met Sharona Alperin (who was 16 at the time) and she inspired a two-month-long run of songwriting. "It was like getting hit in the head with a baseball bat; I fell in love with her instantly. And when that happened, it sparked something and I started writing a lot of songs feverishly in a short amount of time." Whenever he thought about her, he would think of Averre's riff. The two worked out the structure and melody from there. Sharona appears on the picture sleeve for the single, and became a major booster of the band bringing many girls to their early shows.[1] Sharona Alperin is now a real estate agent in Los Angeles, California

Really sorry, but I lost my Internet connection, and have only just got it back. sad.gif

I`m leaving the winnings at $5, and giving the next clue.

Here goes-

The person in the title married the drummer in the band. But, the lady in question was never a member of the band. The song goes back about 30 years, but is still popular.

Cindy Lou Kaiter (daughter of Buddy's sister Pat Holley Kaiter)

You`ve correctly answered all parts of the question. Well done vladb. clapping7.gif

The name of the person was indeed Sara Recor Fleetwood after she married the drummer of Fleetwood Mac - Mick Fleetwood.

Stevie Nicks was the female lead vocalist with the group, and was `seeing` Mick, but Mick then started `seeing` Nicks` best friend - Sara Recor, who he eventually married, and later divorced.

bigwoo was so close, but didn`t originally give me the writer of the song in the answer.

vladb, please PM me with your LR no. or reply here with it. smile.gif
