The end of another year has crept up again and that means it’s time for a look back at some of this year’s Felder moments.

In January, Don played for the first time in the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic, the crème-de-la-crème of celebrity pro-am golf tournaments…..Felderfans.com celebrates three years online in February.  Close to 300,000 Felder fans have checked us out since day one…..Don’s 1981 song Heavy Metal (Takin’ A Ride) accompanies Kenny into outer space as part of the soundtrack to an episode of the Emmy-award winning cartoon South Park in March. Have a lot of cats in YOUR neighborhood gone missing?… April showers…..bring Don’s autobiography to U.S. bookstores in May.

After circling in a legal holding pattern for six years, Heaven & Hell My Life in the Eagles is released in the USA by New York’s Wiley & Sons, and on the heels of its release, Don rubs artistic elbows with the literary elite at the Book Expo of America…..Don finds himself in June in the middle of a book-promotion road show, making several in-store signing appearances which take him from coast to coast…..Don visits the Howard Stern radio show in July, and performs a memorable acoustic version of Hotel California live on air……..Heaven and Hell debuts on the New York Times Bestseller List for the week ending August 3rd…..September finds Don across the pond for the annual Howard Keel-Don Felder Golf Classic, which raises over £33,000 for the Christies Cancer center in Manchester…..Don shakes off his Scottish jet lag after playing three days in a row of pro-am golf at the Dunhill Links in St. Andrews in early October just in time to perform a rare public show back on home turf in California. Shortly afterwards, concert dates start popping up for 2009……Don checks in at #34 in Golf Digest’s November issue’s list of the top 100 musicians who play golf, or the top 100 golfers who are professional musicians, depending on your point of view……..Now that December’s here, Don’s got only nine months left to finish the new CD he’s promised by the end of next summer….
Whatever’s in store for next year, Felderfans looks forward to bringing you more music news, commentary and other cyber shenanigans. Thanks to Don for being the good sport he is and to all our visitors, have a safe and happy holiday season and the best New Year ever!
