Re: Celebration of "After Hours"!
Believe me, if I ever get to meet Glenn, every thought in my head would leave and I'd definitely be tongue tied! Meeting him would be too awesome for words, but I think he'd have to do most of the talking!

To quickly sum it up, as I listened to After Hours for the first time and this song came on, it brought back a memory of my grandfather and I, when he sang this song to me. He would have been close to 60, and I was little more than a toddler, 3 or 4 years old. My grandfather had a massive stroke when he was 62 and couldn't sing after that, and my memories of him singing are few. In the dream I had later, my grandfather and I were on the porch and he was about the age he was then, and I was about the age I am now. My mother put After Hours in a boom box on the porch, and Pappap and I were sitting on a step he always liked to sit on. He put his arm around me and sang My Buddy with Glenn, I could hear both voices and they blended beautifully. Telling it to Soda in more detail brought tears to my eyes, and so today after work, I had to listen to it again. It felt like my grandfather was there in the truck with me.
I'm just so happy that Glenn put out this album for a lot of reasons, but the fact he happened to include that song and it brought back a memory so sweet for me makes it all so much better.
Oh my, VA, such a sweet story! I have tears in my eyes right now reading about it.
Re: Celebration of "After Hours"!
Thanks, Brooke. When I was born, my mother, father, and I lived with my grandparents. Then mom and dad bought a farm a few miles away, and we were either visiting or they were babysitting me. My grandfather missed having me around all the time, so that's why he was singing it to me. So the other day, after writing this, I put the song on again and sang it for my grandfather.

Such a lovely memory, VA! :heart:

These may be here somewhere already...a couple of older interview clips from the After Hours era. My apologies if these are duplicates that were posted at the time of the release.

Maybe it's because I'm on my phone, but when I click on any of the links, it takes me to a slide show of the Eagles concert in Nov. 2013

Re: Celebration of "After Hours"!
I got the slideshow, too. However, now I knew what to look for, I found

and I haven't seen it before - I'd have remembered the suit.
