The Eagles ... not a tribute



The hub and I went last night to the Dallas Arboretum to see "Fast Lane" in concert. They are a local tribute for The Eagles. Who doesn't like the Eagles? The weather was great... cooled off from recent rain, terrific sunset over the lake, lots of sailboats and kayaks coming to shore for the event, the picnic and wine were also terrific. BUT I'm sad to report the band stunk! They played well, but among five of them, no one could sing. Their intonation was so off it was almost painful (and my music teacher would be the first to tell you I have a very untrained ear). The complementary "Tres Leches" cake that Highland Park Cafeteria passed out during intermission really took the edge off. The best cake I've ever had. (And I've had cake!) All in all a very enjoyable evening, but if you ever get a chance in Dallas to go hear this band... PASS ... you'll thank me!

  1. I'll keep that in mind. :-)

    Amy bought tickets yesterday (2 days before public sale) for Kevin Smith's lecture at the House of Blues in November. We're front row, seats 3 and 4 from the middle. Dang, somebody beat us to 1 and 2! She's a KS nut.

  2. that is really too bad - b/c honestly they would only have to be kind of good to make that evening perfect with such a great setting.
