I didn't realize how much I liked the Eagles till
We stopped at Winslow Arizona and heard all the great songs they did.

The guy opening up the song on slide guitar is a close friend of mine, Chuck Kirkpatrick. Reggie Fecteau on Bass, and the long hair'd guy is John Tillerman. This is 'The Long Run" Eagles tribute band. they're extremely good!

They *are* very good. Usually I am not big on tribute bands but they
do a great job.

An interesting side note (to me anyway):

When I was watching the BluRay video of the Eagles Final Tour it was
really the first time I paid attention to Steuart Smith ... the
guitarist who replaced Don Felder after Felder was fired from the group.

I think Smith is every bit as good a guitarist as Felder is, if not
better. But what really caught my attention was the double neck guitar
he used for "Hotel California". I had a Fender double neck (a 6 string
neck and a 12 string neck) and the one he was playing didn't look right
to me. I looked it up and the one he is playing is an Ernie Ball Music
Man custom built for him and is one of only two in existence. What is
unique about it is that his has the six string neck on top and the 12
string neck on the bottom unlike all other doubles that have them the
other way around, like on the Fender I had.

Little things like that catch my attention for some reason.
