Hi Everybody.

My name's Mike. I'm a long-time Eagles fan. I particularly like Joe Walsh and Don Felder. I grew up Cleveland in the 70's & 80's, so I had lots of exposure to Joe (and the Eagles too).

As you may have guessed, I'm really into guitar-driven music. I also play a bit myself.

These days, I'm checked in at the Beautiful Hotel California. But sadly, I'm lacking in the Mercedes Benz department... Oh, well.

I have to say, this forum is really impressive. Thanks to everyone who's been a part of making it happen.

I'm looking forward to participating in discussions with fellow Eagles fans.

Hi Mike and welcome to The Border!...I'm sure you'll love it here...

where in Ca are you?...just curious...

Joe and Don are both awesome...I just got to see Felder's show in February...he is amazing...He's been coming to the casino near me several times a year...I will definitely go again...and Joe...just got to see him a few weeks ago when he "opened" for Bob Seger...Joe's the best!!!

join the club as far as the Mercedes goes!!!

Thanks zeldabjr!

I'm just outside of Sacramento.

Wow, you've been to some good shows lately! I'd love to see Felder - I've never seen him live. I saw the Eagles w/out Felder a couple years back.

That Walsh/Seger show must have been good. I've been reading people talking 'bout it. Another show I'd like to see...

Yes! WMMS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WMMS)!! The Buzzard!

Funny thing is, one of my earlier rock memories is hearing Joe Walsh on MMS between songs. You know, the way radio stations have the artists say a few words before a song; something like "This is NAME from BAND and your listening to STATION."

Well, I remember two from Joe, and not a single one from anybody else. The one that really made stop and take notice went something like:

"Hi, this is Joe Walsh and your listening to WMMS. Always remember, WMMS backwards is SSSSSMMMMMMMMWWWWW [sounded out in long draw-out fashion]."

I don't know exactly why, but I heard that and thought to myself: man, that guy is just cool! (:cool:)

That is a great story! Joe is too funny and cool. I remember those station IDs on WNEW. They were great.

You may have already read it, but there is a book about WMMS called The Buzzard: Inside the Glory Days of WMMS and Cleveland Rock Radio. It's a fun read by John Gorman, who I think used to be the program director there. I think it came out about 6 years ago.
