Joe Walsh is discussing his new, six-foot, three-stage rocket. I am playing Risk, a board game of world conquest, with the drunken road crew. Down the hall at One Step Up Recording in Los Angeles, Don Henley has spent the last five hours overdubbing some thumps from a big bass drum on the rhythm track of “Heartache Tonight,” thus ascending new and heretofore unsuspected pinnacles of craftsmanly tedium. It has been nearly fifteen months since the Eagles cut the first track (“I Can’t Tell You Why” on March 9th, 1978) of the new album. Remember how you felt when you first heard Ringo’s tom-toms on Revolver? Or Keith Richards‘ fuzz tone on ‘Satisfaction’? When there’s nothing to do in the control room, Joe and I burn out amps and destroy equipment to discover new sounds. “Making an album can be real boring and sterile, but it’s wonderful when you can find a new sound. I see myself as an offensive lineman who has to take out the middle linebacker so Don and Glenn can make the big play. No vocals, just music, because they sometimes need a scene to paint their lyrics on. I can’t worry or be political, so back when Randy quit and everything was real insecure, I just recorded a lot of tracks in my home studio and gave Glenn and Don each a ninety-minute cassette to work with. Everybody in the band is a different piece of the puzzle. Don and Glenn have no anchors like that, and they handle being rock stars well. “I spend my spare time with my wife and three kids. Over the years he’s contributed some of the Eagles best licks: the haunting bass line of “One of These Nights,” and the guitar progressions and some of the solos on “Hotel California” and “Victim of Love,” among others. He played one guest session for the Eagles on “Good Day in Hell,” and they asked him to join the next day. and took a job backing up David Blue (yet another client of David Geffen’s), and later Crosby and Nash. After learning record production in New York and Boston, he moved to L.A. Graduated from high school in Gainesville in 1965, he gigged around town for a while and finally joined a jazz band, Flow, which recorded one album for CTI. Like the Allman Brothers, Tom Petty, Stephen Stills and Bernie Leadon, Felder is a product of the Northern Florida music scene. I thought, ‘What have I done? I just joined a band that’s breaking up!’ It was like walking around with a keg of dynamite on your back with the fuse lit, but you don’t know how long the fuse is.” Bernie was bouncing off the wall, and Randy was threatening to quit every week. “‘This is terrific,’ I was thinking, and then I got to the studio for On the Border. NES establishes a three-year partnership between NASA and 50 NASA Explorer Schools teams, consisting of teachers and education administrators from diverse communities nationwide.I was blown away that a great band like the Eagles would ask me to join,” recalls Don “Fingers” Felder, who bears the distinction of being the least-known Eagle, during a break at Bayshore.
Howard Bishop Middle School is one of 50 nationwide (four in Florida) in the NASA Explorer Schools (NES) Program. The presentation also included a downlink from the International Space Station for students to ask questions of the Expedition 8 crew, Commander Michael Foale and Flight Engineer Alexander Kaleri. Whitlow talked about our destiny as explorers, NASA’s stepping stone approach to exploring Earth, the Moon, Mars and beyond, how space impacts our lives, and how people and machines rely on each other in space. Whitlow shared the new vision for space exploration with the students, the next generation of explorers.
