A Tribute to the Eagles and Chicago (An Upcoming Show)

The core of the “Living Legacy” band is back. Doing Chicago means we obviously have to have a strong horn section. And, after rehearsal last night, it appears that we do. Phil West is anchoring them on sax. Cornell Kinderknecht is back with more great woodwinds. The horn section is really working on learning their parts, and they’re good…they sound much tighter than we did at this point in the Fogelberg rehearsals.

Somebody associated with Spring Valley knows a lot of the members of Chicago, and has been able to secure some memorabilia –signed pictures such– that we’ll be auctioning off during the show to raise additional money. We ended up raising just over $ 2,500 last time. I see no reason why we can’t exceed that this go around.

I have a set list, I just don’t have it with me tonight. So, check back here in the next few days, and I’ll update this entry…

I’ll be singing at least the following:

Eagles:
Lying Eyes
Best of My Love
Desperado

Chicago:
Saturday in the Park
Make Me Smile
Color My World
Dialogue (the Peter Cetera part)

I may well be singing on some other stuff too. We’ll see. I’ll be doing background on just about everything, and playing acoustic guitar through out. (Really pumped about being able to play “Beginnings,” and all the Eagles stuff…which I already know…)

I’ve already blogged my love for the band Chicago. I suppose I now need to write something about the Eagles too. Stay tuned.

The one thing I can tell you is that the horns sound GREAT so far. And the Eagles harmonies are dead-on.

So, it’s going to be a GREAT, GREAT show. Any of you who were at the Fogelberg show know just how fantastic it was. This has all the makings of being yet another magical night.

Make plans to attend now. You won’t want to miss it.
