The Don Felder Site

Guitar players in the Netherlands can pick up the January 2012 issue of Gitarist magazine and start working up their cover of Hotel California. The latest issue, which comes out today, includes a transcription and an accompanying interview with Don.

Entertaining interview via Mr. Media with Ben Fong-Torres, author of a new book entitled Eagles: Taking It to the Limit, published earlier this month to coincide with the Eagles’ upcoming 40th anniversary.

Mary with Joe Vitale

Joe’s been out on the road lately with the “old new” Buffalo Springfield. Founding members Stephen Stills, Neil Young and Richie Furay, along with Joe (for Dewey Martin) and Rick Rosas (for Bruce Palmer) performed a couple of days ago at the Bonnaroo Festival after doing a handful of shows in California, and Furay recently confirmed their fall tour (review @ Variety here.)

An interview with Joe is featured in the latest issue of Classic Drummer magazine. There’s also an opportunity for readers to cast their votes online for inductees into the Classic Drummer Hall of Fame. Ironically, Joe’s name is missing from the prepared online ballot, but fortunately, you can write him in.

Who knows where else Joe may turn up in the next few weeks? Stay tuned.

Don’s “pre-Canadian-shows” promo is underway.

Kicking things off is this refreshing interview with Edmonton’s Radio K-97, which is really worth listening to in its entirety. Don has some interesting tid bits to share.

There’s sure to be more in the coming days. We’ll update our Press page accordingly.

Don Felder – January 25th 2011 – K97 by TBSonK97

Danny Seraphine’s autobiography comes out next week, his reflections on a twenty-some-odd-year career with Chicago back when they were “horny.”

We haven’t read the book yet, so we can’t influence your decision to do so by offering some obscure, snobby and abstract literary criticism nobody really understands but pretends to.

We’re going to read it solely based on our observation that in vintage band footage Danny always looks like he’s cranking on a toy drum kit. Cool guys don’t need to hide behind their equipment.
