Last weekend, I was listening to the Opry live on the radio while driving to work. I heard the bluegrass group, The Osborne Bros., singing "Midnight Flyer".(They had recorded it originally). After finishing, he said (not verbatim)..".a little while ago--I guess it's been a long time now... the Eagles recorded that song. I never would have guessed they would have done one of our songs, but they did a fine job!". That got a cheer.
I sure wasn't expecting an Eagles nod when I turned on WSM.
For songwriter nerds like myself, the writer of the song was Paul Craft; he wrote many country hits...including the humorous "It's Me Again, Margaret". You never know!
