    NMB, you have to clock on the "Glenn Frey" link to the right under "Latest Posts" to see the tribute. I had trouble finding it too.

    Love the program pictures and I agree that it is so fitting to put Old Black on the cover.

    Wade Biery posted the same article on his Facebook page and there is a link to that in the 'Remembering Glenn Frey' thread. I'm going to go ahead and post his tribute over in that thread.

    E-7, thanks for the tidbits about the memorial. We appreciate that coming from someone that was actually there. And welcome to the Border!

    Yes, my cousin Darcy, was at the unveiling of the new Glenn Frey Drive in Detroit. Darcy and I are cousins of Glenn and we were all at the private memorial.
    The song that Joe Walsh sang that he performed on the piano was so moving and he barely finished the song and left the stage in tears after he performed. I think the song was titled "My old Friend" We all were in tears.

    Hi E-7. I was there too. What a great night it was! Very, very emotional but most of all loved hearing the stories about Glenn.

    Joe has a song on his, largely ignored 1992 album, Songs For A Dying Planet titled The Friend Song.
    It wouldn't have been written with Glenn in mind but I can see Joe performing it especially for Glenn at a private tribute;

    The Friend Song

    I have a friend
    He's like my brother
    And every now and then we sit down
    And we talk to each other

    One time we talked
    All about the future
    And we shared each others' dreams and plans
    For later on, when we both had time at hand
    And weren't so damn busy
    Me and my friend

    And the thing I don't understand
    Dear God, where is he?
    Where is he?

    And so my friend, I must say
    So long, for now
    Your time is over
    I must go on

    You are my brother
    This is your song
    It will last forever, forever, forever
    We'll be friends that long

    The vocal starts about 4 minutes into the video.

    This sure sounds like the song Joe played on the piano of which he barely finished before he had to leave the stage in tears.
