After lurking here for some time, I figured it was high time to create a user name and introduce myself.

A little about me-I'm Kim and I live in the Tampa Bay area of FL. I work my life away (6 days a wk/10+ hrs per day) and when I'm not doing that, I'm writing, roaming the interwebs, listening to podcasts or rocking out on all sorts of music. When I am at work, which is always anymore, Joe Walsh and/or the Eagles are constantly playing in my Ipod all day long. Seriously. I hear Joe at least 3x a day.

I love the Eagles and have always been partial to Joe for a variety of reasons but the main ones are that he seems cool as hell and he is smokin' hot as well as a living guitar legend. Even back in the day when he was spiralling out of control, he was still beautiful in my eyes. I also think he is a phenomenal talent as a musician.

I have a vast interest in many bands and unfortunately over the years, I had gotten away from all things Joe while I explored other musical tastes. I also am a Jeff Lynne fan and he sort of brought me back to Joe, if you can believe that.

I cannot wait for Analog Man and am pleased by all the advance press it is getting. In advance of this album's release, I decided to delve much deeper into Joe's work than I ever have and while I still don't own a lot of his solo stuff, I think I have a pretty good start. I'm discovering The James Gang now for the first time as well as Joe's Barnstorm years. And daily, my mind is blown, the more I listen to. I've become rather like a sponge when it comes to all things Joe, in particular his older stuff.

I had gotten into Joe's stuff the first time back in 1991 when I heard Ordinary Average Guy. I also bought The Confessor and Got Any Gum? and held onto those albums over the years, bringing them out for a listen every now and then. I know that some fans feel that these CDs weren't Joe's best work but at the time, they worked for me.

So, it's going to be a lot of fun hanging out here and getting to know you fine folks and to chat about Joe with others that love him as much as I do.

Welcome Kim!!! Besides the Eagles, you and I have something else in common. Seems we're both Mustang gals. I've had several of them also and my latest, a 2007 Screaming Yellow one!!! LOVE them!!

Hope you enjoy it here and that you dive right into the mix!

Welcome Kim!!! I'm a lifelong Eagles fan and just started getting back into them with the concerts coming back up. I've also renewed my interest in Joe and am hoping to catch one of his solo shows this year as well. Welcome to the Border and hope that you enjoy yourself as much as I have. I only joined a couple of months ago but have felt right at home immediately and every day I enjoy reading the countless threads and interacting with the other members.

Welcome, Kim!! Very glad to have you on board 'for real'! Looking forward to your thoughts and ideas as we post about our guys! As you can probably tell, my fave is Glenn, but there is no way to listen to Joe's music (or watch him perform) without smiling from ear to ear. The man is simply amazing.

Welcome to The Border MKim! Glad you found us and hope you have a good time here.

I'm a Glenn girl, but love all the other guys too. I particularly think Joe is hotter now than he was during Farewell 1. I'm thinking his new wife is having a very good effect on him these days. He just looks so healthy and classy!

I also like Mustangs. I had a silver one a few years ago. Great car!

So, carry on and enjoy all things Eagles! :nod:

The yellow and green Stangs are my fav colors. I do not have a Stang but might in the future.

Hi Kim & welcome to the Border. I'm sure you will enjoy your time here. Lots of lively conversations always going on & we are always learning new things about the guys & keeping up with everything happening in Eagle land. I haven't been here that long, but I do love it here & everyone is so nice & friendly!
I do love Joe too. He's an amazing talent & he just seems to be getting better. I'm also looking forward to Joe's new album. None of his shows will be near me, but maybe something will pop up that I can get to.
Have fun On The Border!
