I was sad and surprised to hear that Glenn Frey died this past week.
“Take It Easy” was one of the first songs I learned to play on bass and then on guitar so Glenn’s voice has been going through my head for literally decades.
When I watched The History of the Eagles, this quote from Glenn stood out. It regards how he learned what it took to write a good song by overhearing Jackson Browne (through the floor boards) as Jackson composed in the apartment below his:
“Elbow grease, time, thought, persistence”
It obviously also applies to just about any endeavor, which is why I made a note of it to post later. Thanks and happy trails Glenn.
