Glenn to be Guest at Songwriters Hall of Fame Master Session at NYU

Re: Glenn to be Guest at Songwriters Hall of Fame Master Session at NYU
Just saw that article from NYU come up on my Google alerts. VERY cool!
According to the article, "Master Sessions are free and open to the NYU community, members of the Hall of Fame, and the music community."
Hmm - that seems pretty specific. Do you have to show a student ID or something? How does one prove that one is part of the "music community"?

Re: Glenn to be Guest at Songwriters Hall of Fame Master Session at NYU
I don't know, but the people who attend will be very lucky. Photos! I want photos! (October 25 is my husband's birthday).

Re: Glenn to be Guest at Songwriters Hall of Fame Master Session at NYU
They will indeed, especially since he so rarely gives interviews. To have an entire evening devoted to a "part lecture, part performance, and part in-depth interview, concluding with a Q&A" from Glenn Frey - so awesome!

I don't know, but I'm a train ride away so I'm going to check it out. I'll post whatever info I get.

That would be awesome if you were able to attend, HH!!!!
-
Re: Glenn to be Guest at Songwriters Hall of Fame Master Session at NYU
Excellent! Waiting anxiously to hear what you discover!
-
Re: Glenn to be Guest at Songwriters Hall of Fame Master Session at NYU
Oooh, this is something I would love to attend, but timing wise, I haven't a hope so I'm not going to even try.
HH, I do hope you manage to represent the Border at it. I'm sure Glenn :heart: will be wonderful.
Is Taylor studying in NYU?

Re: Glenn to be Guest at Songwriters Hall of Fame Master Session at NYU
Hmm... and y'know, Joe is playing in the area that weekend, and at my show in Red Bank, NJ just the night before.
So Glenn, if you're flying in early and have nothing to do... :partytime:.

You can stay at my house! I have a comfy spot all picked out!

Re: Glenn to be Guest at Songwriters Hall of Fame Master Session at NYU
I'll bet you do HH. just make sure your hub is out of the way. We wouldn't want him and Glenn :heart: to start discussing golf now, would we? :wink:
-
Re: Glenn to be Guest at Songwriters Hall of Fame Master Session at NYU
Hmmm - very interesting, WE!
And this is awesome - thank goodness for Google alerts! I would absolutely love to be in that room. But the timing of this majorly sucks for me. HH - I've got a sneaky feeling you may be on the Long Island Expressway that day! :partytime:

I believe she is, GA. I haven't heard anything about it recently, but I know she attended NYU in her freshman and sophomore college years. I assume she is there in her Junior year now, but I don't know for sure.

Re: Glenn to be Guest at Songwriters Hall of Fame Master Session at NYU
Quote from the article: “He has contributed dozens of songs to the canon of modern American popular music, and his indelible vocals have imbued these compositions with an emotional power that has made them resonate with generations."
Quite.
Wonder if I could sign up to a short course at NYU before 25th Oct... oh yeah, hang on, there's half a planet between me & NY! :hilarious:
Hope you get to go, HH!!

LOL :hilarious:
That's exactly what would happen. They'd be discussing eagles, birdies, putters, pars, irons, woods and what type of balls they prefer. Maybe even a few holes-in-one. Hmmm. . . . . Could be interesting. :hilarious:

Re: Glenn to be Guest at Songwriters Hall of Fame Master Session at NYU
So who is going? I bet you are all so excited. I can't believe its tomorrow!
Have a wonderful time. I'm sure it will be a very interesting session. Oh and in the unlikely event any of you DO get the chance to talk to Glenn :heart:, please tell him the Irish girl from Fallsview said 'Hi'. And that she'll be back!
-
Re: Glenn to be Guest at Songwriters Hall of Fame Master Session at NYU
Nobody has said they are going. HH only said she was thinking about it.
-
Re: Glenn to be Guest at Songwriters Hall of Fame Master Session at NYU
Soda, VAFEL & HH are going!
Soda came back to NYC with me from Atlantic City show and we cruised around Manhattan today.
We will give you all the details on the event!
-
Re: Glenn to be Guest at Songwriters Hall of Fame Master Session at NYU
Cool HH! Enjoy yourselves and have a wondeful time at NYU tomorrow evening. I'll be dying to hear all about it :thumbsup:
-
Re: Glenn to be Guest at Songwriters Hall of Fame Master Session at NYU
Well, that's good. I hope you get some photos. It didn't occur to me that the Atlantic City gig might make this possible.
-
Re: Glenn to be Guest at Songwriters Hall of Fame Master Session at NYU
YOU LUCKY GIRLS....enjoy!:)

I should add to this. In the unlikely event, etc, please tell him the Australian woman he pointed at during Route 66 also said 'Hi' and hopes she will be back too. :smitten:

Re: Glenn to be Guest at Songwriters Hall of Fame Master Session at NYU
Cool that you are going, have fun!
-
Re: Glenn to be Guest at Songwriters Hall of Fame Master Session at NYU
I am so disappointed - I was supposed to go up today for the lecture as well, but I had to cancel my plans because I've got too much to do in order to meet a project deadline at work. Sometimes work really sucks! :sad:
Oh well - I can't complain (but sometimes I still do) - life's been good to me so far. Anyway, I hope Soda, HH, and VaIsFEL have a great time and I'm anxious to hear all about it! :thumbsup:
-
Re: Glenn to be Guest at Songwriters Hall of Fame Master Session at NYU
Awww that's a pity Kay! I'm sure you would have loved to be there! Like me! Still we'll wait with baited breath to hear what it's like!
-
Re: Glenn to be Guest at Songwriters Hall of Fame Master Session at NYU
Have the any of the Eagles contacted Soda about putting her on the payroll in some capacity or the other? She's basically on the tours with them at this point, it seems anyways, might as well put her to use! :hilarious:
This is freakin' awesome that all of you get to go to this. It's so different from a concert and all. I can't wait to hear about this experience as I sit here in yucky ol' Indiana, smack in the middle of real life, living vicariously through others here on the board! :hilarious: I'm just kidding of course. I really do love my life. Really!!!!!

I know, Willie! I was actually kind of embarrassed to admit I was going to this but I was in Atlantic City already and HH offered to put me up and... well... I really want to hear Glenn talk about his songwriting. Plus, it happens to be Fall Break at my school for the 16-week semester. It all just seemed to fall into place, y'know? Plus HH and her husband took me on a cruise of the harbor, I got to see the Statue of Liberty and Brooklyn Bridge... I had a little NYC vacation!
I'm going to dress in a suit, slick my hair back (although I'm afraid some curls may defy even the most fearsome gel), and look all professional tonight. I'll be just another academic attending a university lecture - no fangirl squeeing allowed. ;) Glenn probably won't even recognize me!
-
Re: Glenn to be Guest at Songwriters Hall of Fame Master Session at NYU
I was wondering how you managed to wrangle all that time off Soda. Our mid term isn't until next week! It was a stroke of luck getting this week off. I'm glad you are putting it to good use!
You sound like you will look VERY professional indeed. But, ya know what.... I'd be prepared to put money on it.... Glenn :heart: WILL recognise you.
It sounds like it will be very interesting indeed. I'll be dying to hear what Glenn :heart: has to say about his songwriting. You remember to remember every word, Yeah? :wink:
-
Re: Glenn to be Guest at Songwriters Hall of Fame Master Session at NYU
Wow. I really don't know what else to say. Soda and HH will have better a better memory of what all was said. I took a notebook to take notes but then didn't even open it. At first, it was hard to hear. It was Glenn and Phil Galdston (a member of NYU's Artists' Faculty) sitting on chairs on a stage at an angle to each other (Glenn was angled towards us!) Whoever hooked up the microphone to his lapel put it on his left lapel and he spent the evening talking to Phil on his right, away from the mic.
He looked great (of course), and he wore a suit and tie. He sang It's Your World Now at the end, acoustic guitar only, and it brought tears to my eyes.
They asked us to turn off all electronic devices and it was quiet enough I knew the clicking of a shutter would be heard...so no pics. I'd planned on getting some at the end, but it all ended very quickly. I'll try and make up for it at Vegas next week.
One of the highlights of the evening, of course, was meeting HH and Soda.
I'll say it again. Wow.

Re: Glenn to be Guest at Songwriters Hall of Fame Master Session at NYU
Just got home. Had a wonderful time and enjoyed meeting VA. The lecture was very interesting and we learned some new things. One special treat that we weren't expecting was the performance of "It's Your World Now". We will write up a more detailed review tomorrow when we have more time, but here are some tidbits. . . .
Glenn admitted that Longbranch Pennywhistle was a bad name. He said he knew it wasn't a very good album when it was released (and he was right).
He talked about how he met David Geffin and asked if he could make some demos at Muscle Shoals while he was there with Linda Ronstadt. Geffin told him OK, but keep it to $500.00. Glenn ended up spending $2300.00 and that's when Geffin told him he needed to be in a band because they could cover his weaknessess with their strengths and help him showcase his strengths.
He said that he was never concerned with doing more than one lead song on an album. He recognized that Henley's voice was "money" and he had no problem giving Henley the majority of the leads if his voice was more suited to the song.
The more we write, the more we realize that we can't do it justice tonight with just these tidbits, so we'll leave it at that for now and do this right when we have more time. However there are plenty of highlights left.

How generous & open hearted, as usual, but I would love to tell him that his voice is 'money' too.
I'm so glad you had the privilege of witnessing this event.

How cool that he sang It's Your World Now! Love the song!

Sounds great. Thanks for posting so soon after the event :), really looking forward to hearing more...

Re: Glenn to be Guest at Songwriters Hall of Fame Master Session at NYU
I bet this was a really awesome thing to be a part of---so different from the norm for one of our guys.
Love how modest Glenn is. He's an amazing musician, but he seems so humble and willing to give others credit where credit is due.
When Soda sent me a text after and told me he had sang IYWN, all I could think was WOW---that made those ladies awfully happy!!! I know how much that song means to so many Glenn fans here on the board. I only wish we could have a video of it. How wonderful that would of been to hear acoustically.
Anxiously awaiting the rest of the details.

Re: Glenn to be Guest at Songwriters Hall of Fame Master Session at NYU
Sounds like this was a wonderful and unique experience. Dying to hear more about it! And IYWN!!!!!! Swoooooooon!
-
Re: Glenn to be Guest at Songwriters Hall of Fame Master Session at NYU
Wow - Soda and HH called me last night after the lecture to fill me in since they knew how bombed I am about missing it. Sounds like it was an awesome, unique experience indeed. I'll leave the details for them to tell, but I can't wait to hear more too. :thumbsup:

Re: Glenn to be Guest at Songwriters Hall of Fame Master Session at NYU
Just got back home. I'd love to chill out and post about last night, but instead, I've got to get ready to go to work! I teach at 2:30 this afternoon (our break is only two days long). No rest for the weary. ;) Totally worth it, though! It was indeed a unique experience and I'm very glad I went.
