Eagles are one of my favourite bands. Hotel California was released the year of my GCE O levels, and remains popular today. However, the guitarist that comes to mind for the Eagles was Joe Walsh. Saw him at a concert in Cleveland, Ohio, his own band (not the Eagles), where the crowd was shouting "Joe Walsh for President!" He has a strong following and fan base in Ohio. His reply was, "I can't - I smoke pot!" I like his song, "Life's been good." best. I think his home town is Canton, Ohio. (or Dayton).
Cheers!
