HELLO
GOODBYE
Bernie Leadon and Eagles
It began in a funky little hole in LA. And ended on a stadium stage, after everything in the world showed up.

HELLO EARLY 1971
The standard deal is, we had all worked with Linda Ronstadt. I started working with her in 1967, and by 1969 I was in her touring band. After that I was in The Flying Burrito Brothers. Meanwhile, Linda got Don Henley and Glenn Frey to work with her, and then they wanted to form their own band. I was going to leave the Burritos, and a friend suggest I call them.
