    I woke up at 2am, thinking of Glenn. I looked through photos on GFO, watched HOTE, and got very emotional.
    This afternoon I took my 80 yr old mother for a long drive to look at fall leaves. We listened to the "After Hours" cd on repeat. She said she was hoping I would play that one. When I told her it was his birthday, she looked up, waved, and loudly said "Happy Birthday, Glenn!". I couldn't help but picture him grinning broadly. And I was in a puddle again.
    Prayers and comfort to all who are missing him today.

    How awesome, HB! What a wonderful memory! I saw them on November 23, 1976 in St. Louis, only I was in nosebleed and they looked like ants down on the stage! A memory I'll never forget though, loved it anyway!

    I thought of Glenn many times Saturday as I was doing my usual errands.

    This weekend was sad on a number of levels. My father passed away recently and I was down in So Cal over the weekend to attend an All Saints Day service at his church. The pastor lit a candle to honor all those who passed away this past year.

    When I first heard the date of the service, it threw me a bit because it is also Glenn's birthday. I heard a mention of his birthday on some local radio station right before the deejay played "How Long." That wouldn't have been my choice of songs for a tribute, but it was nice to hear his soothing voice.

    You were there?! Are you serious! OMG, what a lucky (Houston) baby you are! I thought you were a 20-something for some reason.

    Back on topic: I didn't post anything to this thread yesterday, but I wanted to convey that I was thinking of our Borderers who love Glenn so much. And thinking of the Frey family too.

    Thanks NMB (I think) I haven't seen my 20s in decades!
    It is my passion for music, concerts & my favorite musicians that keeps me young.

    Thank You Glenn. You are a huge influence on my Acoustic Guitar sound. You were the Master of Acoustic Guitar.I also am trying to model my vocals after you. Nowhere near to comfortable on record

    I wouldn't worry too much about how your voice sounds while singing, travlnman2. I know that it's scary, since you're putting a vulnerable part of you out there. I don't sing, but I don't like how my voice sounds when I'm recording my voice for a movie review. To get somewhere, you've got to put yourself out there. I hope you get to that stage soon.

    I listened to "Take It Easy" on my phone on Monday morning before I went to accounting class. It made me sad, since that voice is no longer with us. On the bright side, it'll be with us forever with all of the recordings he did in his life.
