This is something I just did for the site and I figured I would post it here, too. It's basically a summary of "This Year in Eagles." Did I forget anything?

Wow, hard to believe all of this happened just this past year!

January: Takamine puts out a Glenn Frey Signature Guitar (http://www.takamine.com/?fa=detail&mid=2372&sid=63); Eagles play some dates in the South.

February: "I Dreamed There Was No War" wins a Grammy for Best Pop Instrumental.

March: Eagles play some dates in Canada and the Midwest.

April - Timothy B. Schmit performs with some of his old Poco band mates at the Stagecoach Festival for the first time since he left the band; Don Henley files a lawsuit against Republican candidate Charles DeVore over use of the songs The Boys of Summer and All She Wants To Do Is Dance in his campaign.

May: Eagles play "Race to Erase MS" benefit; Don Henley does a few solo shows in Florida and Oklahoma.

June: Very Best of Don Henley (http://www.amazon.com/Very-Best-Don-Henley-DVD/dp/B0028NSE0K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1252907664&sr=1-1) CD/DVD released; Eagles tour Europe; Glenn Frey is inducted into the Michigan Rock and Roll Legends "Hall of Fame".

July: Clear Channel launches Eagles Radio (http://www.iheartradio.com/cc-common/news/sections/special/eagles.html) hosted by Joe Walsh; Eagles continue touring in Europe and the United Kingdom.

October: Timothy B. Schmit's album Expando (http://www.amazon.com/Expando-Timothy-B-Schmit/dp/B002NPUCQ2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1253038235&sr=8-1) is released and he begins his first solo tour EVER. He also gets an official MySpace (http://www.myspace.com/timothybschmit), Facebook (http://facebook.com/timothybschmit), and Twitter (http://www.twitter.com/timothybschmit1).

November: Don Henley plays a spate of solo dates with an "autumnal" theme.

December: Eagles announce first-ever dates at the Hollywood Bowl, set to take place in April; more California dates forthcoming.

Nice little review there Nancy. Of course I zoned in immediately on the June and July aspects. Those Wonderful shows in Dublin and Belfast. And for anybody thinking of buying a guitar in the future that Takamine EF360GF is a gem.

Great idea, Soda. I thought of a few others that you may want to consider adding ...

April - Don Henley files a lawsuit against Republican candidate Charles DeVore over use of the songs The Boys of Summer and All She Wants To Do Is Dance in his campaign.

April - Timothy B. Schmit performs with some of his old Poco band mates at the Stagecoach Festival.

June - Glenn Frey is inducted into the Michigan Rock and Roll Legends "Hall of Fame".

I like the latter two (duly added) - that was the first time he'd played with Poco since he left the band, right?

As for the DeVore thing - I don't know - it's kind of unpleasant, although I suppose it is an "Eagles event" in that it made the news. Wonder how that lawsuit is progressing?

I think it should be included, 'unpleasant' or not.

I'll always remember that night too. It changed the way I think of Timothy.

Soda, great idea! I like being able to see a brief synopsis of the year.
