1/2" spacing JG's always remind me of my first Ric. 50 years since the change and the 1" spacing still looks wrong to me.

That ~1967 Ric 456 6/12 convertible is interesting!

That Searchers cover of a Leiber/Stoller classic is pretty horrible - except for the pristine harmony vocals. It's too fast, no groove and the guitarist doesn't know what key (or scale) he's playing.

They used to do it better:



If not as good as this:



I love that song, but it needs that Cajun-spooky feel:

Yeah, that was hard to listen to. They probably had studio players for the original recording. Still, they had enough time since then to learn how to play or memorize a decent solo.

One of my favorite lyric lines is in "Tequilla Sunrise" - "workin' on a dream he planned to try" - four "conditionals" stacked into one line.

A lot, if not most, of their songs are good stories.

I never paid attention to the lyrics until now. Just looked it up. Beautiful.

For all the not so nice things you can hear and read about the Eagles, both Frey and Henley were skilled lyricists. It was as important as the music to them.

Jerome Rimson (ex-Automatic Man) funky with his Ric (? - or is that some John Birch model?) and two keyboard players (who both played with Jon Lord) plus Steve Harley ...
