My friend Milo Deering is touring with The Eagles playing mostly fiddle and pedal steel. He is an amazing talent, who toured with Lee Ann Rymes in her early days, and now is a studio musician on a lot of songs. He has long hair past his shoulders, and sometimes wears a large hat, making it hard to see his face.

He is featured on pedal steel on Henley's Country album he put out a year or 2 ago, and plays fiddle , guitar, mandolin, or whatever else Don needs.

His daughter, Scarlett Deering has cut a cd as well, and got to do several weeks with the Eagles as well, as a second fiddle player to her dad. I saw her CD release show, and she had some nerves with the home crowd. Performing in front of 70,000 people with the Eagles should help that.

We have an Open Mic night at my country club each year, and we hire Milo to play some real music behind us. He always adds just the right amount of fiddle, pedal or guitar.

Going to see John Prine tonight, sitting first row at a great Opera House.
