Yes MAB, the Eagles had a writing influence on me too. I remember, I think in 2009, on one of the music awards shows, probably CMA, the Eagles performed a new song, which I don't remember the title. But, it reminded me of how much I had always liked their music, and I was so moved by their song and performance, I decided I was going to write me an "Eagles style" song!. After several rewrites, it came out, "Once Apon A Time". A song about the singer vowing to never grow up and to remain a kid the rest of his life. I'll have to record it and share it on the ramp some day.
Speaking of sharing, and at the risk of upsetting OD or yourself, OD told me you guys just finished one of his songs, and he sent me a copy. I asked him if he would share it with the rest of us. He can no longer upload songs. I think John W. can upload it as OD so it shows up in his song list? If not, maybe you could share it with us?
