I could write an entire book on the adventures of collecting autographs from each of these 5, and/or all 7 members of the band EAGLES. These stories are ones of much more than just of luck. These autographs in part have much, if not all, to do with waiting out at Hollywood nightclub bars (especially The Monkey Bar), The Coach House (San Juan Capistrano), KLOS Radio Station, Hollywood Park, The Ventura Theater, trip to concerts in Denver (Colorado), Natchez (Mississippi), Hurricane (Utah), Portland (Oregon),Pepperdine University, LAX, BB Kings Universal City supper club, Caroline Leadon (former wife of Bernie) and her EXTREME generosity, the Strawberry Festival in Oxnard, Timothy B. Schmit's former home off of Topanga Canyon, a James Taylor Concert at The Greek Theater, Dodger Stadium, a KISS concert, the August 8, 2000 Fred Walecki charity benefit concert, the Katrina Concert in Cerritos, golf tournaments, KLSX radio record swaps, Walden Woods book signings, Rockline Studios in Sherman Oaks (and when they were in Universal City), Warner Brothers sound stage, Mulholland Drive, Palm Springs, The Grammy Awards, The American Music Awards, Ringo Star's first All-Star band, several resturants in the Fairfax area, Dan Tana's, the above and beyond generosity of Randy Meisner and his beautiful wife Lana (and their complete welcoming me as a fan), Jim Messina, questioned by security at Irvine Meadows in May of 1994, Roger McGuinn's concert at The Whiskey on April 24, 1991, Jim Ladd, and of course dressing up as Santa Claus on a Saturday in November 1993 on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu.

Where do I even begin to tell these dozens and dozens of stories? Some so far fetched but very much real, that you wouldn't even believe it if I told you the story in front of you, my wife and my children.
