Re: Leadon Love: The Bernie Leadon Photo Thread
You’re welcome ETG and NKIT.
I used to wonder if the little boy is one of Randy’s twins but I don’t think so.
I agree that may be Randy’s son in the picture where the guys are at Bernie’s Topanga Canyon house. I’ll have to dig around and find that pic.
(I think his kids would have been older than the one seen in the HC publicity pics)

Ok, I found the picture. It was taken circa 1971, so his twin son would be about a year old. This little boy looks older than that.

Delilah - TY, that picture is so cute !. The little boy looks to be about 5 or 6 to me. Randy's son Dana would have been around six, so it could have been him.
Re: Leadon Love: The Bernie Leadon Photo Thread
Somewhere, I read that the boy in the Topanga Canyon photo was a neighbour's son, but I don't know if that's right. According to the photographer (Ethan Russell), it was taken before the first album was recorded.
Re: Leadon Love: The Bernie Leadon Photo Thread
Yeah, I’m pretty sure that isn’t Dana, who was born in 1963 and had blond hair. Here’s a picture of him with Randy during his Rick Nelson days.

ETA: the Ethan Russell photo is indeed rare then, being taken before the debut album was recorded. It captures a moment when these 4 guys from different backgrounds and parts of the country, are still getting to know each other while sharing that common bond of music and bringing their respective talents and experiences to create magic and history. Thanks for that detail, UTW.
Re: Leadon Love: The Bernie Leadon Photo Thread
UTW, thanks for that clarification.
Delilah, thanks for that photo of Randy, Rick and his son. I thought he had blonde hair. There is a picture that has been posted in the Eagles photo thread of the guys in front of a hotel with Dana and two kids who apparently were relatives of Randy. Dana has blonde hair in that photo.
Re: Leadon Love: The Bernie Leadon Photo Thread
I should have added this link which has some commentary from Ethan Russell. I believe it's 1971 rather than 1970, though. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/p...eagles-0528145
Re: Leadon Love: The Bernie Leadon Photo Thread
Yep - Thanks for the info, UTW. I'm pretty sure Ethan's photo has been posted and discussed on the board before, and I agree that the little boy is not Dana. I don't know where it would be though, and I'm sorry, but I don't have time to search for it. With all the Photobucket issues, the picture may not even display anymore, but the discussion would still be there if anyone is interested in trying to find it.

Bernie with his turquoise bracelet—and banjo of course! Love it!
On a side note, I’ve noticed some of my pics have disappeared. :headscratch:

Delilah - I love the bracelet too. A great picture of Bernie.
