God, YES, Dreamer, if you can.

I have been feeling very 'pro Glenn' since watching Madison Square Garden yesterday. I must say I deeply admire his commitment to charitable causes. He wasn't all over the place when all the stars came out for Haiti. He was quietly arranging an occasion of his own. He once said 'God likes quiet givers'. How right that is. I'm proud of him. :love: :grouphug:

02-04-2010, 06:29 PM
I'm there!

And yes, I admire him so much! He's so generous with his "quiet" giving. It's great when your favorite musician is also a kind-hearted, caring person. Justifies the time we spend on him. ;) I bet Deacon had a hand in picking the recipient charities, too.

02-04-2010, 06:36 PM
He is indeed, others mouth off about doing these things. Glenn :heart: just does them. How I too would LOVE to be there.

Are you going Soda?

Or is anyone else?

That is really AWESOME that Glenn will be performing solo again. And Deacon too? That's really great. To Soda and any other Borderers going, have a ton of fun while you're there. I wish I could go. I would love to see Glenn doing a solo gig but this is just too soon for me and i'm still trying to save my money for THE road trip to see the guys in April.

..I think it is SO amazing of Glenn to take time to play at small venues like these, obviously for his son!!!..He's certainly NOT doing this for money and/or fame..he's a very generous man, I'd say.............:xoxo:..and if I could give him a kiss of thanks, I would...so I'll leave that to you Nancy.......

TimothyBFan
02-05-2010, 10:00 AM
I'm so happy for you Nancy and anyone else going! I'm also happy that since Timothy's doesn't have any more shows planned at this time, that we don't have to wait till April for anything new. Just a couple weeks away!! :razz:

Like I told you yesterday Nancy--if you can--PLEASE get a picture of Ziggy for Katie! She says she's so jealous of you right now! :hilarious: She does find it kinda strange that Glenn and Ziggy are performing at the same show. But if AH members are friends of Deacon's, that would explain them at it tho.

02-05-2010, 10:41 AM
Well - I am going to be joining Soda out in L.A. for this show. I'm very excited about it, and wish all of you could join us. Can't wait to see Glenn perform again for a very worthy cause.

To me, in this instance, it's a charity show rather than to help out his son. He is the headliner. Although it does seem to me that when he does these shows he tends to let Deacon sing a few songs and only sings a couple himself.

The name 'Animal Husbandry' is funny because I am an avid player of the Civilization IV computer game where you progress through 3000 years of history, and Animal Husbandry is one of the early technologies you research.

Glennhoney
02-05-2010, 07:09 PM
..yes, of course...this is for a very worthy cause....but like you said, he seems to include Deacon in his solo shows, which is such a wonderful Father/Son thing to do......makes him all that more lovable........:xoxo:

This is killing me. I'll be in Las Vegas on the 20th for my daughter's cheer competition. I was hoping the seemingly annual benefit would be held in April again as I will be in So-Cal then. The weekend before the Hollywood Bowl set mind you.:x I was hoping he'd be at the Roxy that weekend so I could take my daughter up to the show. Oh well. These things never seem to work out for me.

I notice the poster says that Michael Thompson will be there too. No mention of my darling Will though.
Maybe those lucky ones of you who are going can let me know if Will is there too? please

sodascouts

I'll keep an eye out for him, but I doubt he'll be there.

Freypower
02-14-2010, 06:14 PM
Has Will ever played at any of these benefits? As far as I know Glenn only uses Michael, Scott and Al for these shows. I don't even know if Will is part of his 'solo' band.

sodascouts
02-14-2010, 10:06 PM
For the past few years, Will has been part of Glenn's backing band for full-fledged solo shows. However, he hasn't appeared at the stripped-down ensemble benefits like this one. I'm unsure whether or not he joins Glenn for corporate shows on a regular basis, if at all.

Just when is everyone leaving for Hollywood? How long are you going to be there? And sight seeing or other plans while there?

Remember, some of us here need to know these things so we can live vicariously through you.

Wildthyme
02-17-2010, 09:02 AM
Well I am hitting the road bright and early tomorrow and picking up Soda and Dreamer at LAX on Friday morning. We are staying in Hollywood and the plan is to do some touristy stuff on Friday afternoon (maybe hit the Walk of Fame, go see Grauman's Chinese Theater, etc). On Saturday we will probably do a little bit of sightseeing but we want to be at House of Blues early enough to make sure we are first in line to get in. After the show we want to over a couple of blocks to the Troubador to see where it all began. Then Sunday morning its back to the airport for Soda and Dreamer and I head north to see my family near San Jose for a couple of days.

That is the basic outline for now. I think so of it we are going to just play by ear once we are all there. We will have a couple of computers there so we can update the board with what's going on especially with what happens at Glenn's show.

I am getting very excited about the trip. I can't believe I will be there in just two days!

It's always exciting when Glenn steps back into the light - especially after a particularly prolonged quiet period from him (it seems to me) and it's great that we have some dedicated Borderers to tell us all about it.

I Know Will plays in Glenn's band & I remembered Will being part of Glenn's band at the Crosslake show in 2008(that was a charity show wasn't it?), so I just wondered if he would be doing this show.
I guess it might also depend on what else he's involved with at the moment, 'cos although he has the major comittment of the Eagles shows, Will still seems to fit in other projects(like session work & Dancing with the Stars etc). I think he must be a workaholic.

Freypower
02-18-2010, 08:13 PM
I don't think Crosslake was for charity. It was a full-blown concert, hence the full band including Will.

So I am about 150 miles out of L.A. and spending the night at a motel in a little town called Buttonwillow. It took about 9 hours to get here. It was a long but uneventful drive and I just cranked up my music and cruised down the road. That's one of the good things about I-5 through central California. Its long and straight and you can drive pretty fast and make some good time.

GA let me know a while ago that Glenn :heart: is performing tomorrow, so I thought of him and needed to get up-to-date with this story today!

I'm sure you will all have a super time. I hope you get to meet up with Glenn :heart: and at least chat to him for a few minutes. I know he will be glad to see you all again.

WT, is this your first time going to a Glenn :heart: solo show? (Excuse my ignorance if you have mentioned this before elsewhere on The Border, but I'm a bit behind!)
