Little things that remind you of the Eagles (5/07 - 10/15)

[Victim of Love]

Thanks, GL. Was drinking my morning joe today and hearing phrases like "you been out ridin' fences" and "oh, you ain't gettin' no younger". I kept looking over my shoulder...much to my chagrin Don was NOT standing there!

Today I went to the Memphis Rock and Soul Museum. I took the tour, and there were several Eagles moments!

During the tour, many jukeboxes were displayed, all the way from 1929 to 1979. All of them were real and had records and labels. I took a look at the 1979 one and an Eagles single - Please Come Home for Christmas/Funky New Year - was one of the selections!

Secondly, in the list of artists who had recorded in Memphis, Joe Walsh's name appeared. That was hardly surprising, as in the late 80s he hung out in Memphis all the time and the cover of his album Got Any Gum is a photo of the Memphian Theater. Still, it was cool to see.

The biggest surprise, however, was a showcase of a certain brand of guitar. There were pictures of several musicians playing the brand of guitar. What should I see in the case but this very photo:



I think I might have startled passerby with my squeal of delight.

Very cool!! Although they got Glenn's name wrong. Glen Frye. Could it be any more misspelled?! LOL.

Those are cool guitars too. Les Paul style body shape with Telecaster hardware and a bolt on neck with a rosewood fretboard.

That was a squeal worthy moment indeed!!

Very, very cool!!

LOL, Soda! That was great that Glenn's picture was displayed. I would have squealled too! Too bad about the spelling. You would think that for something like this they would have been more careful about making sure it was correct.

I get very insulted ...it's like they're attacking me personally...when I see their names spelled wrong. ie Frye, Schmidt...

I feel the same way, Zelda!

Me three! It's like a total lack of respect for the subject matter.

It's just sloppy and unprofessional. I'm more contemptuous of it than I am offended by it.

Like Bernie Leadon, Glenn also has to endure his last name being mispronounced a great deal, most typically by British interviewers who haven't done their homework. In the UK, the surname "Frey" rhymes with "Grey." It's only those who've bothered to do their research that know Glenn's surname is pronounced "Fry" - which is also the case for the vast majority of Americans with the surname.

But on the other hand, poor Ralph Fiennes has spent over two decades telling American interviewers to pronounce his name like "Rafe Fines" - and many still haven't learned!
