MAB, I read your post on FB about being disappointed no one here has mentioned the passing of Glenn Fry. You are right. Probably one of the best writers from that era. I can't think of a single Eagle's song I didn't like. HOWEVER, going back to my younger years (probably 20's 30's), there were several bands I liked back then, but never took the time to learn the band member names. Just another example of why I feel like such an outsider when it comes to this songwriting thing.
Now, I realize the Eagles were considered a rock band at that time. But today, their music would span every genre, and especially country. CNN did one day of short tributes to Glenn and the Eagles, But I have not heard one Eagles song on the radio down here. Could be I just didn't listen to the radio at the right time.
R.I.P. Glenn Fry.
