Fort Collins was a very good place for live music when we moved here.
The people here are completely different than the people in Nebraska. People
here are like Nebraska crowds used to be in the...

Little known fact... My other brother-in-law Ronny, had a band in the 50's
also. Ronny and the Renegades. The first time my wife Vicki, ever played in public was at Little Moon. She played piano...

The monument is kinda cool. I've climbed that many times in my youth.
Runza's are the bomb ! Too bad you couldn't have been there in the 50's and 60's. There was a place called the Dash Inn that...

Thank you Sweety.

Hi Night Mist,

I would say that Scottsbluff is a great place to be from.
I live in Fort Collins, Colorado now. THIS is a beautiful place !!

Another interesting fact is that Paul Asmus was there at the
ceremony that night. He is a founding member of the Dynamics
and also my brother-in-law. I married his sister !

Hi Nightmist blue,

Yes, my wife and I both attended that Hall of Fame ceremony.
Actually, The World Classic Rockers, of which Randy was a member
at the time, played that night for the...

Hi DJ,

Yes Dana does have a voice very similar to Randy's. I've heard a couple of recordings he's made in his home studio, and he DOES have a really good voice. His wife sings on some of the...

Hi Night Mist,

I have heard Dana play drums, and he is very good, as is Eric.
Dana sat in with my band in Nebraska a couple times. Really nice guys too. Both of them.

Hi Delilah,

You are correct about Randy being very generous to his band members.
We had 3 guitar players in the band, and he made sure that none of them were excluded from being able to...

I agree with you about Randy's looks. He used to regularly scare small children when we walked down the street together !

Hi,

If you wanted to email me that PDF, that would be fine.
My email address is rockitboy@msn.com
Thanx a lot !

Wow, that would be great if you could post that on this bulletin board !
Thanx so much !

Donny

And please, call me Donny. We don't need to be so formal.
Mr. Ullstrom was my Dad !

Hi Night Mist,

No, I have not seen the press kit for that album. Actually, I
didn't even know there was one. Is it somewhere on this bulletin board
that I could look at ? That would be...

Hi Funk 50,

You know that would be great if we could pull it off.
I know Kerry still plays. He lives in Florida. Kelly is
still playing in L.A. Not sure where the rest of the band is...

I think you might be right about Randy being apprehensive. He would have to have known how critical some can be. He's kind of like me in the sense that he wanted to be the bass player that nobody...

Yes, Randy is pretty private. And after what happened to his wife, he's probably even more that way. I thought it was wrong to not include him in the Hell Freezes Over album and tour. I think it...

I am not sure of everything that happened with Irv but, I know one day he came to our rehearsal on Sunset Blvd to listen to the band. He went outside with Randy for a talk. I don't know what...

Hi NightMistBlue,

Thanx for posting this chronology. I haven't seen this since 1978.
Unfortunately, we didn't play most of these dates. I'm not sure why, but the first bunch of dates were...

Hi Funk 50

I am not aware of any recordings that Randy made of us. He certainly may have though.
I guess I am a small(very) part of Eagles history. My wife and I flew with the Eagles...

Thanx Delilah. I'm working to get that recording of the Universal job in my computer so I can upload it. It's a recording of a monitor mix, so the keyboards are a little distant in some songs, but...

Don't worry Delilah. Never too many questions.
Actually, that jazz arrangement on Too Many Hands came about during rehearsals. We rehearsed for 3 months before we ever played a show.
We were...

That name does sound familiar. I know is was an odd first name.

Hi Delilah,
The bass player was Kerry Morris who now lives in Florida, Kelly Shanahan was the drummer. He still lives in L.A. Scott Shelly played guitar and keyboards. Steve Edwards played...
