I’m a big fan of the Eagles. Everybody knows that. Well, everybody who knows me knows that. Anyway, last week I went out and bought five Eagles CDs, CDs I already had but somehow lost over the years. I’ve probably bought all of the Eagles stuff at least five times through the years. Maybe more. I bought all the records, all the 8-tracks and all the CDs. I’ve purchased all of the group’s DVDs. And I have seen 17 Eagles concerts, as well as nine Don Henley solo concerts and a couple of Joe Walsh solo shows.
Doing some quick math, I figure I have spent somewhere around $1 million on the Eagles. Well, maybe not quite that much.
Anyway, I bring up the Eagles because there’s nothing I enjoy more in life than putting an Eagles CD in while I’m driving and singing along. I used to do a pretty good job with that. But now I have lost my high pitch and it shows. It’s frustrating. When I try to get to those high notes, I fail. The sound is not good.
Anyway, I wish I could get that back. But I think my vocal chords are shot.
