Re: The sisters that introduced Glenn to JD Souther
So, that thread I was speaking of - it was started ELEVEN years ago, dang! That was the first year this forum existed (if you don't count Flip City)! I've merged 'em.
Anyway, it's cool to see the sisters in action. Even now, they sound great.

I love their cover of Eli's Coming!

Re: The sisters that introduced Glenn to JD Souther
Thanks for finding the old thread and merging. I think I misspelt "Sliwin" when searching.
Sometimes, it's as interesting to read about the groups who don't quite make it. They're still all looking good, so whatever they ended up doing, it seems to have suited them.

Edited for relevance
I agree UTW, I'm very interested in pop culture and the evolution of music especially the Laurel Canyon scene of the 60's-70's.
More than anything it appears being in the right place at the right time determined the fate of various musicians and songwriters all competing for the attention of record labels, producers and managers.
Talent was important but not a guarantee e.g Judee Sill who tragically died in 1979 and had a measurable impact on the music and artists of that time period.

Excerpt
"For JD Souther, who broke Sill's heart and inspired her song 'Jesus Was a Crossmaker', there was nobody more important in his musical career, which included co-writing some of the Eagles' biggest hits."

Just found it a cool little piece of context. :) FYI - in the photo - Joan is the girl with the long dark hair, second from the right. The girl next to her with the long blonde hair is her sister Alex, JD's girlfriend.

Thank you! I've seen some of these pics but I didn't know which one was Joan.
Re: The sisters that introduced Glenn to JD Souther
I'm not sure this is relevant, and admins, feel free to delete this if it's not...but I'm a fan of the 90s tv show Highlander and I've been watching it on dvd lately. There's a beautiful Irish folk song that is featured in the show. After watching this show for years, I looked up who sang it. It's Laura Creamer- maiden name Laura Polkinghorne, who was in Honey Ltd. with the Sliwin sisters. Laura Creamer has sung back-up for Bob Seger and on Glenn's solo material. I was absolutely floored....years of watching this show and I just found out there's a connection to Glenn.
