Bernie Speaks! A new interview with Mr. Leadon

[New Kid In Town]

NMB - Thanks for posting, another good interview.
In interviews with the guys, I have heard them all go back and forth using first and last names. I have noticed most people here do the same. I know I do.

In this week’s installment, Bernie talks about the Desperado album https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=...UCjnChuFXxZjQw

John shares that Bernie has completed 8 new songs. Perhaps a solo album is forthcoming; I hope so.

An album would be so exciting! And maybe he'd even play solo live again!

Hot diggity! Bernie talks about writing the music for "Witchy Woman" and working with Dillard & Clark. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hg7fOFGq3O4

Hey Soda, I just noticed something (I'm verrry slow on the uptake): the website that John B. mentions every week as being Bernie's is actually the one you made, right?!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I am really enjoying listening to these clips. And, yes, NMB, BernieLeadonOnline is part of Soda's EaglesOnlineCentrai network so it's nice to have some plugs for it. Bernie had an official site at one time, but shut it down quite a few years ago.

Cool that he still remembers his contribution to TLHTM. Fascinating stuff.

Yes, that's right. I hadn't noticed that error. I'll have to contact him about it.

ETA: I posted a comment on the video about it.

[NightMistBlue]

This is a very interesting segment, about how a chance conversation with a gal who worked at McCabe's Guitar Shop informed Bernie that Don H and Glenn were forming a band.

My video has Spanish subtitles, do ya'll have that too?

[My My]

Thanks for the link, NMB. Very interesting interview. When Bernie tells about how few places the folk or country players hung out, it's no wonder so many of them came together as bands and knew each other. It really was a small community in the midst of a large city.

And no, no subtitles on my feed!

[NightMistBlue]

How odd (that I'm suddenly getting Spanish subtitles).

Anyhoo, yeah that's hard to imagine the music scene in L.A. being small isn't it? I remember Robby Krieger saying that about the rock scene in L.A. in the 60s being small and everyone knowing each other and all playing the same (relatively few) clubs.

[Delilah]

Yeah, it seems Bernie already knew who Glenn and Don were when the girl mentioned them.

In the comments, Mr. Beaudin says Bernie doesn’t want to write his autobiography.
