Celebrating Glenn Frey's birthday

Another year has rolled by - Glenn would have been 76. Let's raise a glass to the man and his music on the anniversary of his nativity.  Since he'd be 76 today, I thought I'd post a fun photo taken in 1976. It's from the Hotel California songbook. 

Celebrating Glenn Frey

 

 

As we all celebrate Glenn's life today, I thought it might be fun to focus on some aspects of his career. We always talk about his music, but how about his acting? A couple episodes of South of Sunset are on YouTube. The formatting on the feed isn't allowing me to post links, so I'll just let you know that The Pilot and Episode 4 "A Family Affair" are on there. Check them out. Not to neglect the music, the catchy theme song "Call on Me" is available on Above the Clouds).

Happy Birthday 2023

 

Glenn Frey would have been 75. Wow. Happy birthday, Glenn! Your legacy lives on; you're part of us all.

2023: Remembering Glenn Frey

 

 It was seven years ago today - January 18 - that we lost Glenn Frey. 

As always, on this day, I like to pause and take some extra time to reflect on just how amazing he was, and how his legacy still thrives now that he's gone. His music continues to be a part of people's everyday lives all around the world; his voice is woven into the fabric of modern culture. He left a deep and lasting imprint on this world not only as a musician, but also as a person. He was "one of the good ones."

I'm going to pull out the Above the Clouds collection and give it a listen as well as watch the accompanying Strange Weather: Live in Dublin DVD, and I'll be celebrating Glenn Frey today.

Unforgettable

 

Happy birthday, Glenn!  Gone but never forgotten. You're a part of everyone whose life your music touched. We celebrate you today.

CD / DVD Compilation available!

A Glenn Frey compilation entitled Above The Clouds: The Collection is available! What a treat for Glenn Frey fans!

 
The following is paraphrased from Glenn Frey's official Facebook: A four-disc 3 CD/ DVD box set: Disc 1: major hits; Disc 2: the classics; Disc 3: the 1973 collaboration with JD Souther known as Longbranch Pennywhistle, making its digital debut; Disc 4: DVD Live from Dublin, a 1992 show from the Strange Weather tour.

Remix of "Part of Me, Part of You" has been released

A remixed, considerably shortened version of "Part of Me, Part of You" is available as a digital download on Amazon.

It brings forward instrumentation and some backing vocals; it removes the following verse and the bridge/chorus/almost all of the outro after it: "I look at you; your whole life stands before you. I look at me and I'm running out of time. Time has brought us here to share these moments - to look for something we may never find."
