[shunlvswx]

I posted this in another thread, but I hope its ok to start a new thread for this.

SiriusXM's Town Hall with Don Henley is tomorrow @ 8:00pm Eastern/7:00pm Central. This was recorded a day after the ACL taping. Don will be interviewed by the great Bob Seiger and then do a concert afterwards. You saw some video clips on CBS Sunday Morning this morning. That was from this. I heard its about 2 hours. I signed up for Sirius XM online to listen to it. http://www.siriusxm.com/outlawcountry#add (http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.siriusxm.com%2Foutlawcoun try%23add&h=mAQGiS74oAQHFX5oRyU8CtfYX1xiCyQqlXwIsS1COdqtNrg&enc=AZPOtySskFPJMmaL8p6hH-T35Qu9hcpM-Y8-ZaWu_Ex-WvQmMpGCW5d0602rpG4tGpEbT5Sv17D5MIYA2NDSbKBB5_hY8-jO-Y74k4FaEzu3Zn32bFtFTR5Kt1FZD1GvfW3CC2EUW6iQseiu3SK wyP5Bko8nNlUV097x7um6j-X8xQ&s=1)

[Funk 50]

Good idea Shun. I look forward to reading all about It :thumbsup:

[NOLA]

Shun, thanks again for all of these updates to the prerelease press! :)

[Brooke]

Thanks Shun! I heard the advertisement again yesterday and hope I can listen to it tonight!

Do you have to have Sirius to get this broadcast?

[shunlvswx]

I subscribed to SiriusXM online to watch. Well in this case listen.

[jms18222]

Okay that is what I thought. I used to have Sirius in my car but gave it up once I started listening to podcasts. Do you remember what podcast Don mentioned that he listened to?

[shunlvswx]

No I don't.

[Brooke]

I have the channel with my Dish subscription so I'm ready to listen! :yay:

[shunlvswx]

Don jokes the people said he need a moderator. LOL He introduces Bob.

[shunlvswx]

The crowd is very rowdy and alive.

Barbara asked: How growing up in Cass County influence his music.
They talks about Cass County and where its at. The drinking age was 18 years old back then. He talks about what stations he listened to when he was growing up. He starts talking about the guys who grew up in Linden TBone Walker and Scott Joplin. His mother played gospel piano. His grandmother lived with them. She would sing hymns. He said the first time Billy heard Desperado, he said it sounds like Stephen Foster. His first records were Looney Tunes records. His mother was going into town and she asked him what record he wanted. He said can you buy me this record called Hound Dog.

Don sings No, Thank You. I love this song from the album.

[shunlvswx]

Lead Belly was buried in Linden and Don would visit his grave.

He started to talk about Lawrence Welk. He got the drummer's autograph. He said Lawrence Welk and he had groupie. Had one on each arm and they were nuns in full habit. Another concert he saw in Shreveport was The Byrds, Hermit's Hermits and Barbacas(SP?), The Dillons and Mitch Rider and The Detroit Wheelers.

He talks about Cost of Living. Merle couldn't be there. He was on vacation. He introduces Jamey Johnson. The crowd is going weird for him. I'm guessing Don is drinking water because he says I'm dry. Its about of the medication. He and Jamey starts singing Cost Of Living.

[shunlvswx]

He said their isn't a lot of modern country. He was saying Jamey was the real deal. Ass shaking broke something(I couldn't hear that part)

Janet says: Why change genre. Why now?
He brings up Shiloh. My next album may be completely different. Don has a home and farm in Linden. He wants to help the town and also says he knows why he left there. This album was a tribute to the people who supported him, his parents(his parents didn't tell him to cut his hair. Thank goodness. He brings up the The Rebel version of Grand Ole Opry. This was for the people who weren't allowed to play the Grand Ole Opry.

Michael asked about drumming and singing at the same time.
Dixieland Jazz band. SOme of the guys fathers were in the band. The adults left. The Beatles came along and they needed to start singing. Everybody took turns. somebody asked why did he do it? He says I just didn't know any better. He says its harder to play guitar and sing then playing drums and sing.

Bob asked when did pick up the drums.
Don was 15 when he start playing drums. He was in football first and they would knock him around since he was only 99 lbs. If you didn't hang up your uniform, you would get the paddle. Don came in and his uniform was on the floor. The guys were laughing. Somebody said the coach wanted to see him in the Cage. Don got out of there quick. Don would drum on his books that would drive his classmates and teachers crazy

He calls Take a Picture of This the empty nest song.

MEDICATION?

[shunlvswx]

Jeanette say. Says she's one of the luckiest person to be there. Which song touches him at this time in his life.
Randy Newman, Paul Simon, Leonard Cohen and Bob Seger. Anything by those guys. Randy send Don a song and Don cried. My Wandering Boy. Brings up Bob. He wrote Heartache Tonight and Bob also wrote part of Funky New Year. Don sang backup on Fire Lake and Miami. Bob knew Glenn first, but knew Don very well later. Bob heard an old Felicity album and thought Don sounded. He didn't know it was Don until 10 to 12 years later.

Don introduces the band. Introduces Martina. That Old Flame.

[shunlvswx]

MEDICATION?

He heard he had bronchitis the night of the Austin Limit City.

[shunlvswx]

Candace: What do you tribute your successful to your solo career.
Stubbness. He's a collaborater(SP?). Brings up Danny, Stan Lynch, Mike Campbell, Bruce Hornsby, Bob. Writing with other people saved him(I'm guessing music wise).

Don sings Dirty Laundry.

[shunlvswx]

There's a question here, but I couldn't get the answer.

Favorite artists and songwriters from today.
Jason(somebody), Tifft Merrit(she wrote Bramble Rose). He talks about Bramble Rose. He got Miranda and Mick to sing verses. He really hasn't said people we've heard of. He said another person's name.

He starts singing Bramble Rose. This is actually song. He doesn't sing this song on this event. I love this song.

[shunlvswx]

He talks about Ashley Monroe. Saying she could be the next Dolly Parton.

Don talks about Dolly and recording When I Stop Dreaming with her. He talks about her entourage, her hairdresser and driver. Dolly told Don, "I know this song. Me and Porter(Wagoner) use to sing this song." So Dolly went into the studio to do the song. Then she said, (Don starts to talk like Dolly) "This key is a little high for me. He said that's what we recorded the key. Then she said, "I guess I have to rear back and get it." he audience started laugh. Don then say and she did. She did it in two takes and left. After she left, he, the engineer and his producer stood there very dumbfound and then Don said what just happened here.

They start to play When I Stop Dreaming. The actual record single not the live.

Martina and Jamey are back onstage. He wrote about drought and that ending with a lot of rain a year later. He talks about the people out west who were having a bad drought right now. Praying For Rain.

[sodascouts]

Reading with interest, shun! Thank you!

[shunlvswx]

Michael says. What fuel your passion to keep making music.
Its just something I have to do. Helps me out of the psychiarist office. I missed the rest of his answers. Don is still his worse critic. He knows his best work is still ahead of him.

Ms. Valentine(I didn't get her first name). What other memorable sing is your favorite (or something like that). Talking to The Moon. He wrote Talking To The Moon in the 60s. He started to writing the song, but couldn't finished it. He played Talking To the Moon to JD. He had some verses, refrain and chorus. JD had another song. It took all night to work on the song and it finally hit them at 5:00am. He wrote half of The End Of The Innocence. Bruce Hornsby had half of that song. Don wrote the rest of the song while driving.

The Heart Of The Matter: Mike Campbell had the music I guess to the song and Don took the music home to write the song.

Bob had Last Worthless Evening at his wedding Don had the chords for this song.

He says we're going back to the old days. Don sings The Boys Of Summer.

[shunlvswx]

I was thinking about what Don said yesterday about he had to drop the key to The Boys Of Summer. I know it doesn't sound the same from the 80s, but he still sings those high notes on I Can See You.

[shunlvswx]

Theresa: What's next?
Touring. He said it will be soo great to not play Eagles songs since he's been doing it for 2 years with the Eagles tour. He says he's going to make more albums after Cass County. He's not done yet and tells Bob he's not either. He tells the people who coming up on their late 60s. Its ok. There's life after 65. Its ok.

Where I Am Now. I love this song.

[shunlvswx]

That's it. Its over. It was interesting. Don sounded very comfortable during this interview.

[Brooke]

I listened to bits and pieces (had to keep checking out my Cardinals game!) and thought it was very interesting. I kind of wondered why Bob was there at first cause he didn't say much, but there was more conversation later.

I got it through my Dish subscription, but the sound was terrible. It sounded like they were outside and it was windy! How was yours, shun? Just curious. Thanks for your summary! Great job!

[Brooke]

Do you know if it is also on direct tv?

Sorry, I didn't get back here last night. I don't know anything about what Dtv has.

The volume was ok. It was better than the 92Y interview which I had at 100 and it was still low. I did have it at 100, but it could hear it.

[Lilah]

I found these encore times for those that didn't get to hear this, yet. Also, it is on my dish TV provider, and I didn't even know it! I have it set to record, now.
