I hope it brings you joy every time you play it.

Actually from the pictures it looks as if he can't really...

"I think Joe Walsh said it best when he said... HEY, I CAN DRIVE!" ;)

Nice guitar, keep sake indeed... but boy would I be pissed if anyone as much as put a bloody mark on my taylor!!! Even Mark Knopfler couldn't sign my guitar... and he's as close as I'll get to having an idol in the music business (or anywhere I guess).

That's bloody brilliant!

I'd be frightened to play it though, things like that go for hefty sums on E Bay.

I just had a look at "autographed guitars" there is one going at US$5000 and one at $2,500 and some at $2000 so far. I never even heard of most of the people who signed them...

Whatever, enjoy.Hi pritch I dont realy consider $2,500 to 5,000 to be a hefty sum of money, it certainly is not enough for me to consider puting it on ebay, I will just keep it in its case and bring it out occaisionally to look at it.

The Eagles could play sweet but they couldn't rock until Joe joined them.

He played a pub in New Plymouth back in the days of the booze barns.

He'd been partaking of the recreational chemical of his choice, and at dusk as he was supposed to be performing, he was hiding in the (extensive) gardens dressed in a camouflage suit. A friend of mine was on the staff at the time and they were all combing the grounds looking for him.

Glad I'm not a promoter :yes:

And yes I was tempted to ask them to send it back to get Don Felders signature.

Thank you for that Steve...its all news to me about Felder, the man has so much talent, i guess they are still the Eagles without him and maybe a Tour could be on the cards with the release of thier new Album....the first since 'The Long Run'...
