I've been thinking about this. I've been doing the what if game.

What if Glenn's mother didn't find him in that basement. Would Glenn still be in the band with Bob Seger and later become a solo artist instead of forming the Eagles.

What if Glenn didn't follow his girlfriend to California.

What if Don didn't bump into Kenny Rogers and asked him to see his band play at a club. Would Don had gone to California later on or would had still move to California.

What if Don and Glenn didn't meet that one day and also didn't play in Linda Ronstadt's band at the same time.

There are so many events that could had prevent Don and Glenn to not meet.

I wonder if Glenn asked JD Souther to join the Eagles when they first started. I always wanted about that. Glenn picked two guys he never met before and asked to join the band.
He had met Bernie & Randy when the four of them backed Linda Ronstadt at a show at Disneyland & he would have known of their reputations. J.D.Souther was briefly considered but I imagine they would have decided Bernie was a superior all round musician.

Glenn was asked to join Ronstadt's band & then he recruited Don so it is not just happenstance that they were both in her band.
