Joe Walsh Rides Again




Sunday night we saw Joe Walsh in Dayton.  Loved the venue – a new place The Rose Music Center.  It was great to see Joe along with legends Waddy Wachtel and Joe Vitale ripping it out.  They’re like wine they just get better with age.   It was a good mix of James Gang, Eagles and some of Joe’s solo stuff with a surprise song –Everyday People. When it was time for the James Gang portion of the show Joe joked with the crowd that if they were too young or didn’t recognize the songs – not to worry, “Your parents loved these songs.”

Joe dedicated the song Take it to the Limit to his “Band mate and Brother” Glenn Frey.  Back-up singer Rick Washington took lead on the vocals and as they say – brought the house down.  What a powerful voice and performance.  Rick’s vocals had Johnny and I blinking back tears.  Many in the audience were sobbing.  It was a very moving part of the show.  If Joe is performing anywhere close to you…we encourage you to check him out.

As for us, this week was good.  Brian and Mary Jo will be here soon.  And next week will be another round of chemo.  Please keep us in your prayers.
