I was listening to a Peter Stroud interview he did on radio yesterday morning and it sounds like there is a Don show he's playing at in a couple of weeks. Didn't say when, where, etc just that it was in a couple of weeks. He's been my favorite player in Don's band along with Steuart Smith.
Love Steuart Smith...
such a class gentelman and a talented guitar player.
He was so kind to JAhh and I when we met him

I'm surprised to hear that Peter Stroud is to play in Don's band again - he hasn't been in the band for some years now. For the last couple of years Don has had Steuart and Peter Thorn, and before that it was Steuart and Frank Symes. Can anyone remember exactly when Peter Stroud last played in Don's band?Quote:

I just think Stroud is a bit more.....melodic as far as being more classic and old school. Thorn is known for being more of a modern-styled player and an EVH type player. But I do think he's a great player. I just prefer the more vintage rock sound and playing of Stroud. Also Stroud just seems to be a touch more friendly and "average guy".Quote:

Even if the private ones only get found a day ahead of time when someone tweets about the load-in!
three cheers for VA!!!!
she keeps us in the loop.
THANK YOU:)
Don played at a wedding last night in Vegas. Have seen several tweets about this so far this morning. No one has mentioned Who the happy bride and groom are yet.
YOu are too funny:hilarious:
Dh a wedding singer??
wonder who the bride and groom were??
Don was made a Songwriting Hero by Songwriter's magazine today. I'm not sure what that really means, but since we need some action on this thread, I thought I'd post it.

Don has always been our songwriting hero!!!....Is their next hero going to be someone with the initials GF?...should be!Quote:

I wasn't going to comment on this because I suppose it is obvious to those of us who love the Eagles that Don is part of a songwriting TEAM, and too often the other half of that team is overlooked. Not only that; in Don's solo career he also had collaborators.Quote:

It was a very basic biography of Don and all things we all already know.
It could be that the other half of his songwriting teams were 'heroes' on other days and it got missed by us. Since it's a 'hero' day, they can only select one, not a team. I agree that the other half of Don's songwriting teams often get overlooked and that annoys me to no end. However, it doesn't take away from the fact that Don deserves any and all kudos he gets on the topic. The other halves of his teams would be the first to tell you that.
I agree with VA
At least Glenn got a mention. Danny Kortchmar was completely ignored.
Not to take away from Don's contributions, of course, but it would have been nice for Danny to get some sort of acknowledgement in the write-up.
I'd never ignore him. :heybaby:
Well done to Don. Always nice to see our guys getting a special mention, even if there were some omissions in this piece!
Hey I guess as long as they spell your name correctly its ok with them
A very short but nice blurb...
http://top5000-rocketman5000.blogspo...on-henley.html
Warning...political nonsense in this article. But it appears to me that the Wall Street Journal's interpretation of 'Fair Use' equates to 'liberal use'. Especially as there is NOTHING in the Ezra Klein column that would make any sane person think of 'Johnny Can't Read'. Really, someone had to go to a great amount of work to make the connection, and then to beef up the article and make it something one might read past the second paragraph, they inserted the lyrics of Don's song. It would be too much to hope that Don gets his dander up and goes after them.

Hmm, well, I didn't bother to read past about 4 paragraphs. I will be glad when the election is over - politics can be really ugly even when viewed from the other side of the world.
Teeny tiny mention of Don in an interview with Lois Chiles. Until he announces something, like an album release date, we'll take what we can get.

Don signed a petition regarding Pandora radio and royalties.

I see Jackson and Stevie are on that list too.
Am I reading this wrong? According to this, Don performed at the Lincoln Center in NYC last night. He was in two places at the same time?

I knew he was good but I didn't know he was THAT good!Quote:

Don's a busy guy!
Does anyone know why he was there? Has he been on Great Performances in the past? I wonder how much air time he will get.
HD - The article that was posted said he and numerous other stars were taping a PBS "Great Performances" special celebrating the series' 40th anniversary. I guess Don can relate to the 40th anniversary thing. :thumbsup:
Maybe a duet with Julie Andrews? "It's a jolly holiday with you, Don"! ;)
:hilarious: I can just imagine!Quote:

A nice blog post about Don's conservation activities.
