Bernie Speaks! A new interview with Mr. Leadon

[sodascouts]

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.

Sometimes YouTube auto-selects the wrong language for a video. I'm betting that's what happened here. I uploaded a Shakespearean video, a scene from Hamlet, and YouTube thought it was in GERMAN. Tried to subtitle it as such.

Fantastic story about how Bernie found out about an opening in this new band. It was meant to be!

I went ahead and promoted this interview on BernieLeadonOnline, since he's still referencing the site despite the fact that its a fansite. It's the least I could do!

This is another part of Mr. Beaudin’s interview with Bernie (since NMB hasn’t been here lately I thought I’d go ahead and post it). This one is about whether or not he regrets leaving the Eagles, his recent songwriting and why he doesn’t plan to write an Eagles book.

In the clip about JOTS Bernie says that the string session was booked for another song, but they ended up recording strings to JOTS as well. Was the string arrangement written on the spot???

It was nice to hear Bernie talk about JOTS like he still likes it instead of "well, it was one of those things, I was young..." or something, LOL.

It does sound like that string arrangement was written right at that time, probably by Jim Ed Norman.

It’s surprising the BBC radio show only paid £500 for the song rights. Maybe that’s b/c the Eagles were not a big name in the U.K. then(?).

I’m curious about the Civil War song that’s at the end.

On another note, I hope everything is going ok for NMB in Florida with the hurricane on the way.

ETA: here’s the video clip BTW

Thank you for posting the latest interview snippet, Miss Delilah! I was out of town at a conference for work, then had to focus on getting hurricane supplies. Was all over town today in a fruitless search for batteries. Anyway! The good Lord willin’, Dorian will stay offshore.

Well, glad Bernie got the $175,000 for the song on the movie.

And good luck, NMB. I hope the hurricane stays away from Virginia too.

NMB and everyone out along the east coast, stay safe! Thoughts and prayers for all of you!

Thank you! The storm has finally passed for most of Florida. Prayers for folks in GA, SC and NC and especially for our friends in the devastated Bahamas.

Bernie layin' it down about how the Eagles were students of success in the music industry: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFyK...-lMCi-wLz9Zg9k
