Hi from MN
Hi everyone! I have been lurking for a few months. I have enjoyed reading your discussions and looking at the wonderful pics everyone posts. I tend to focus on Don. I like that you all celebrate all of them no matter which is your favorite.
I have been an Eagles fan since I came home from school one day and heard Best of My Love in 1974 when I was 17. The angst in Don's voice was so touching and beautiful, and I never dreamed his voice would get even better. I didn't have a license yet, and I begged my mother to take me to the store. I bought all 3 albums. My posters were all good because I never hung them. When the new technology came in, I got rid of all my albums. The brain scan comes back next Tuesday.I scanned the album jackets, and I was so proud of myself(!?) for finding this group of talented guys that were writing their own songs. I played their albums endlessly and I listened for and knew who every voice was before ever seeing them live. When I moved out of my mom's place into my own apartment I played the entire Desperado album every day along with some other songs (by other artists, too-big FM fan!) every day after I came home from work. I have liked all incarnations of the Eagles.
My first ever concert in my life was an Eagles concert in 1976. They were late. Their equipment truck had been in an accident. I don't really remember the individual songs anymore, but I remember some things about the concert. Sadly, one of those things is that it was not the best performance of Best of My Love Don ever did in his life (but he sure has been doing some lately). I was sitting next to a guy with a wine flask and bad breath. A kid that looked like he was about 13 was selling joints to kids and young adults. Our side of the audience (that would be the Randy side) was clapping so loud for them, they turned and played one song to our side of the audience (and I don't remember what it was). Except for my first concert and my HFO tour concert I've always had fairly good seats. My sister and I had awesome seats in Duluth and Timothy was lots of fun that night. A story for some other time. I've been to other concerts, too. Ok. Enough of that for now.
I like other singers, too. Don Henley is my favorite singer, and I guess I'd have to say Daryl Hall is my second favorite. I like lots of others. I hate country music, but like certain country singers. I generally don't like women singers. The ones I do have low voices like Cher & Stevie Nicks.
Personal stuff, then I'm posting this. Married almost 29 years to the same man. Came home from work one day and found him lying there. I lost him 2 years ago last month. We never had children. Got laid off after 34 years at Target Dec. 2009. I'm currently going to college full time. I should be done this December.
Sorry it's so long, and now the relatives are at the door, so that's all for now.

Sounds like you are doing a good job of getting your life back on track after some pretty horrible times. Best of luck to you and hope you come back here often.
