We woke this morning
to the news that guitarist/singer/songwriter Glenn Frye, most well known as a
member of The Eagles, died at age 67 of complications from rheumatoid
arthritis, acute ulcerative colitis and pneumonia. The band was supposed to
have been a recipient of the 38th annual Kennedy Center Honors along
with Carole King, George Lucas, Rita Moreno, Seiji Ozawa, and Cicely Tyson a
couple of weeks ago, but The Eagles induction had been postponed due to Mr.
Frye’s failing health.
The last time we saw
the Eagles was on the 10th of November 2013 at Madison Square
Garden. After the concert, I wrote:
But, like they say,
if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! And the music that brought the Eagles to fame
back in the 1970s is still, to quote one of their songs, “the best of their
love.” We are left with that peaceful, easy feeling.
I am glad we had a
chance to see them that one last time.
Love,
Rebecca
