I own 1500+ cds and 500 records - plenty of Jackson Browne but not an Eagles to be found. With the death of Glenn Frey today playing Eagles greatest hits tonight - man I love Tidal / Roon as well as early Eagles.
There’s a girl, my lord, in a flatbed Ford
Slowin’ down to take a look at me

yep a magical turn of words - even more so 40 years later.
Indeed! WORLD class lyrics, and music.
This is - another recent - heartfelt loss.
We’ve been blessed to have such artists while we had them.
Glenn Frey:
The sun goes down, the night rolls in
You can feel it starting all over again
The moon comes up and the music calls
You’re gettin’ tired of starin’ at the same four walls
You’re out of your room and down on the street
Movin’ through the crowd and the midnight heat
The traffic crawls, the sirens scream
You look at the faces, it’s just like a dream
Nobody knows where you’re goin’
Nobody cares where you’ve been
‘Cause you belong to the city
You belong to the night
Livin’ in a river of darkness
Beneath the neon lights
You were born in the city
Concrete under your feet
It’s in your moves, it’s in your blood
You’re a man of the street
When you said goodbye, you were on the run
Tryin’ to get away from the things you’ve done
Now you’re back again and you’re feeling strange
So much has happened but nothing has changed
You still don’t know where you’re goin’
You’re still just a face in the crowd
You belong to the city
You belong to the night
Livin’ in a river of darkness
Beneath the neon lights
You were born in the city
Concrete under your feet
It’s in your blood, it’s in your moves
You’re a man of the street
You can feel it, you can taste it
You can see it, you can face it
You can hear it, hey, you’re getting near it, hey
You wanna make it, 'cause you can take it
You belong to the city, you belong to the night
You belong to the city, you belong to the night
You belong
You belong
In my heart. You are sadly missed. Grace be extended to you.
In Light and Love,
Richard
With the passing of Glenn Frey and David Bowie, it makes me realize how fortunate it was grow up in the 60’s/70s and to be part of this developing music scene.
My fondest memories come from attending concerts by The Allman Brothers, Led Zeppelin, Cream, JImi Hendrix and Jethro Tull.
While my listening tastes currently fall primarily in Jazz and Classical, I feel very fortunate to have grown up in a time where there was a sense that something very special musically was happening.
