Bernie Leadon was the country rock. After he left they became the glam band that threw out Randy......never the same

"My daddy was a handsome devil

He had a chain five miles long,

From every link a heart did dangle

For every maid he's loved and wronged."

I love hearing that at the beginning of this song. I wish I could find and download a copy that had it.

Wikipedia it, it's the third verse of a song called 'Silver Dagger' written back in 1907!

Also, if I recall correctly, Don Felder gave guitar lessons back in Florida, one of his students was little Tommy Petty..

[mathbens]

[funny1986]

Great tune, a classic of rock'n'roll.
