Monday Music "Already Gone" By the Eagles

 

Well I survived being at camp, as one of the instructors for the NRA course, I enjoyed the experience overall.  We are talking about setting up another class in early spring.  We are having to work around the council's schedule.

*blognote*  I restored the old posting requirements for comments. I hope the spammer has moved to greener pastures.

 I decided to roll with Eagles "Already Gone".  I touched on this last week with it being a great driving song....especially with the windows open and the music blaring.  the song reminds me of driving in the southland on a country road.   In my heart I am a country boy, I do not want to live in the city, I am not a city dweller...being trapped inside a city if things go "pear-shaped" definitely is not a comfortable feeling.  I would jam with this song especially when I was in Germany stationed at Cooke Barracks and this song would come on my cassette player and I would turn it up LOUD and sing along with the song and make the Germans wonder ;)  One of the memories of this song was being on the autobahns rolling in my Mustang and jamming with this song.  Really good memories.

The License Plate in top came off my Mustang from the 1980's while I was stationed in Cooke Barracks In Germany  then at Stuttgart Army Airfield. In Germany, the one on the bottom came off my parents Ford Granada from the 1970's while we were stationed in Frankfurt in the mid 70's.  Yes I have a collection of License plates in my Garage.

"Already Gone", which is four minutes and 13 seconds long, was written by Robb Strandlund and Jack Tempchin. In the liner notes for The Very Best Of, Glenn Frey said that Tempchin sent him a tape of the song through the mail.

"Already Gone" has been described as a "classic". In his book To the Limit: The Untold Story of the Eagles, Marc Eliot wrote that the song "was an out-and-out rocker ... Musically it sounded like a fuel-injected rave-up, with melodic echoes of both 'Peaceful Easy Feeling' and 'Take It Easy.
