From Ray Stevens' youtube account - some new conversation at the start. GC did this borrowing Janie Fricke's Ovation. What I love about this video is the admiration on the other star's faces. When you get Waylon's attention, you're doing it right.

Pretty amazing with some of the groups that are in. It seems like that whole group has been mostly snubbed. Boston, Kansas, Styx, Foghat, Toto, Bad Company, Reo Speedwagon, J. Geils Band, BTO, Grand Funk Railroad. If you were from the early 70's and into the 80's they have not been kind to you.

Saturday (3/8) was the birthday of the late, great, Randall Meisner. He was more commonly known as Randy Meisner. He was a founding member, and the bassist, for the Eagles. He left the band toward the end of 1977, after a messy altercation with Glenn Frey, after Meisner refused to sing his trademark song during a concert in Knoxville. To celebrate, the Eagles' song where he sang lead:

Damn it. I post a Mastodon song today and they lose their lead guitarist, Brent Hinds. IMO he was the best player of his generation. This sucks.

This solo knocked me right off my feet when I first heard it. He's also singing lead here.

Their concert in Rec Hall in the early ‘80’s is still the loudest show I’ve been at.
