    Default Hi From Ireland

    Hi there folks,

    My name is Jonathan and I'm from Ireland.
    I have been a fan of Eagles since 89.

    I have seen them 3 times,
    My first time was in 96 Hell Freezes Over
    The Second was in 2001,
    And the last time was in July of this year,

    My Favourite Album is Hotel California,
    and also my favourite song.

    I don't have a particular favourite Eagle.

    My other music interests are as follows.

    Johnny Cash
    Janis Joplin.
    Dr Hook
    Aimee Mann
    Steely Dan
    Thin Lizzy

    I love Janis the most.
    She was such a talented lady.
    Pity she died so young.

    Well that's your lot for now,
    feel free to pm me about anything.

    Jonathan

    Yo "J"! Can't be anything wrong with anyone who likes The Eagles and Janis! I think she was finishing "Pearl" when she OD'd. And "Pearl" was her biggest selling LP.

    Anyhow: WELCOME!

    Welcome Jonathan!

    How great that you got to see the Eagles in concerts spanning over a decade. Wish I'd been into them sooner so I could have seen them before Farewell 1 as well.

    I've mentioned before that my mom went to high school with Janis Joplin. It really is a shame how early she went.

    I have to say I've never heard of Dr. Hook! Any relation to the Captain?

    When I read that, I thought of Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show: "On the Cover Of The Rolling Stone".

    Hilarious! Definitely NOT the version they released as a single.

    Welcome to the Border Jonathan. Hope you join in often.

    PM--thanks for the reminder of those Dr Hook songs. I only have Cover Of The RS and I Got Stoned And Missed It downloaded on my ipod. I had forgotten all about When You Love A Beautiful Woman and She Was Only Sixteen. I need to get those on there also.
