Re: Remembering Glenn Frey
Hi all - I just got back from our California trip this evening. I am so glad that we made this trip to be together with fellow Borderers during this time. I spent most of the day traveling back home so there was a lot of time on the plane to reflect about Glenn, this past year, and our Border gathering this weekend to honor this remarkable man that meant so much to so many people. As Don said so eloquently, it's still hard to imagine the world without Glenn in it even after a year. But as others as said we are so thankful that Glenn left us with his music, which lives on.
I love Bob's tribute song to Glenn. He said he hoped it didn't make Cindy cry, but how could it not. It sure brought tears to my eyes.
And BTW - Thanks to g2686 for posting your story. I loved reading it.
We love you, Glenn and will always honor your memory.
Re: Remembering Glenn Frey
Glenn's friend, Thomas Sullivan, posted the text from his "Sullygram" on his facebook page. He also made an additional comment about Bob Seger:
Quote:
Thomas Sullivan Seger’s love of Glenn is sincere, El Tony. I remembering sitting on a touring trunk in some arena back room with them one time and listening to them talk and you could tell Bob was connected heart deep. It’s still unreal, Tony. Saw Cindy (his wife) at the Kennedy Center honors for the Eagles and her face had the same brave smile that marked a couple days in LA after the private memorial. It seems like the music is just paused and the future is still buffering until Glenn steps out of those shadows and into the spotlight again…

Thank you, and thanks to everyone who read and commented on my post. I just had to share my thoughts yesterday.
Re: Remembering Glenn Frey
I was at work. when my friend messaged me and told me to not log into facebook. and I didn't until I was on a short break. a store full of customers and I had to hold it together. I wont forget that ever. just like Bowie. Glenn was another staple of my childhood. and I miss him dearly.
Re: Remembering Glenn Frey
Thanks from me, too, groupie2868, and all those who have written their thoughts.
I love Tempchin's sweet rendition of "Part of Me, Part of You."
I finally changed the site banners back, slightly modified. I'm not sure if I'm happy with it, but I can always change it again later. I just thought it was time.
Re: Remembering Glenn Frey
Jack's new version of "Part of Me, Part of Me" is just stunning. I know a lot of people have an issue with his voice, but I think he sings it perfectly in this quiet setting. I love the simplicity of the arrangement and the emotional impact it had on me when I first heard it.

I've been listening to Glenn's solo material on my iPod. That's how I first got to "know" him, as a solo artist in the 80s, even though I knew he had been in the Eagles and his voice was instantly recognizable to me because of that. But as someone else said upthread, I've learned so much about him this past year. I wish I had appreciated him more when he was alive and that I could have seen him perform solo. Thanks for the music, Glenn.

I agree. I think that is the best that I have heard him sing.
