Note From Joe:
This song is about my path out of the darkness of drug addiction and alcoholism. The message is that there is a way out and a new life waiting in recovery that is good. The first step is to ask for help. The included links are a good place to start. I'm doing this because if it helps 1 person - it was worth it. It's by giving back that we receive and I am eternally grateful for my sobriety and my life today.

4 days sober today and today will be my 4th AA meeting. Haven’t felt better mentally in years!
😊
Hope yer cracking on Brother.........What a battle it was eh ????
Awesome job Joe. I started drinking when I was 11 yrs old and now I'm 62. I was able to stop with AA and by the grace of God. I drank 60 beers a day and a pint of vodka in the morning to get rid of the shakes so I could drive to the store and get my alcohol for the new day. That's all I lived for. Now I have been sober for 22 years and have 2 boys and a granddaughter. Life is beautiful now. I think your song will help many people. God bless you Joe and thanks for the music for so many years. Keep it coming. Hope to see you in Phoenix soon. I will be going to see the Eagles when they come to Phoenix. Hope you will be with them. One Day At A Time.
I. 8 yrs sober. I've been. At this for 3 3:39 3 years. I got to AA IN 1990 AT THE AGE OF 26. I wouldn't do the work. They say meeting makers make it. Not so in my case. First go around 8yrs. Second go around 12 yrs.
2015 Aug 25. 50 YRS OLD. JAILED 2 TIMES TWO DIFFERENT MONTHS . Dui. Crash. Gave up my family .my kids my life. King alcohol had me. Then a series of events happened. The policemen at the crash said . This could be the best day of my life. He said I could use this to turn my life around. A 180% . Then in jail, a guy told me I wasn't a victim. I did this to myself because I hated myself. I told him no I didn't. He said sure you do, If someone had done to your life what I did I'd hate them. At that moment I wanted out of jail . This guy said the only way to not hate myself was to go sit in a AA meeting. Go in , go all the way in. Sit down, sit all the way down, and stay. . I started going to men's workshops here in FL. And GEORGA. THEY PLAY THIS SONG AT THE CFMWS. CENTRAL FLORIDA MENS WORKSHOP. AND I LOVE IT. GOOD TO KNOW THAT IM NOT ALONE.
STAY STRONG!! Sometimes it's a minute at a
Time, 5 minutes at a time & etc.
CALL ON JESUS, he's our ONLY HOPE😁
AA saved my life. Keep coming back.
A grateful heart won't drink. In step three I found out that I'm not a big deal at all. God is my new employer. I gave myself to God
MY son started with beer, pot, and pills at 15. He graduated to bigger things, and ended up on heroin for the last 35 years.
I have tried everything to help him. I always prayed and asked God to keep him safe until he got C&S. About 2 months ago I was praying and God said to me, "You never asked me to heal him?" I felt so stupid! I said, "God, I am asking You to heal my son now!" And He said, "I will."
I had the most wonderful talk with my son today
It has been years since I heard him sound so happy and hopeful! Please, pray for my son that this will be the time for his healing from addiction. He has such a problem thinking he can do it himself, and it always fails.
God Bless all of you out there who have gone through this yourselves or with a loved one. I know the pain. As a mother watching your son withdraw from heroin, puking and swearing at you, is the closest to hell on earth there is. Losing him would be even worse. He has had so many friends who have died from ODs, car accidents, even murders. I am so blessed that my son lived, and hopefully he will get the help and support he needs, and with God's help, this will be his time of healing.
I heard this song for the first time on Mar 29 2014. I just listened to it this morning... in tears... Tomorrow I will have been sober for 1 year!!! Help is out there brothers and sisters! YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!! Love you all!
I wonder if I coached you?
@@tom.hoffmann6585 loo ok loo I
Wondering how are you doing today - congratulations on one year!
One day at a time
I’m going thru it right now with my sponsor. First step. Best guys I’ve ever met.
Only reason Joe is still alive. God reached down and saved him. Same as He did me. He will save you if you seek Him. Yeshua Ha Meshiac.
32 days alcohol free and definitely not looking back. My mum sends me this every week. And I love it. Brilliantly written and performed by the legendary Joe Walsh.
hope you are still doing great and still going strong, you got a great mum by the way. Have a good life.
@@DirkjeA still going good just taking each day as it comes. How are you going??
@@MadDog-65 Glad to read that you are still going good. I am also still alive and well. My road of being without drugs in life goes really good. After 30 years of abstinence I feel safe and happy. Somehow still taking it a day at the time, but I always found there is strength in baby steps. Wish you all that is good, be safe and happy.
@DirkjeA it’s one day at a time for me also. I have days that I feel the urge to drink again but I’m reminded how that never ends well for me. I wish you well in your future.
@@MadDog-65 Well I think the urges are something you just have to cope with, and you are doing such a great job already. As I said, after all these years, I still take baby steps so to speak and I am almost always alert, that is the price we pay. But if that keeps us safe, than so be it. Those urges pass and not giving in, is so self rewarding, while indeed, you know giving in doesn't bring you anything. Once again, wish you all the best in this world and hope you stay strong. Bye Joshua.
Thank you Joe! I was 11 years 10 months sober when this tune was released in Oct 4, 2012 . I almost lost it when he said: "All the friends I used to run with are gone. Lord hadn't plan on livin' this long." I just passed 19 years and this song is my AA anthem.
OCT 2012. I would have said "One Day....I 'll have The Time but Not Today, OK" Its ""5 Years Kleen" today. God's Grace. Christ's Salvation.
I had over 20 and blew it!
Now again two plus.
Nothing is left!
JUST DON'T DRINK TODAY!!
13 years 8 mos, tks
@@fredmoore8661.. No matter what!
Wow good stuff I’m so happy for you. I need to start today.
This song has a special meaning for me. I used to be a fall down drunk and lost everything. One night eight years ago I was home finishing up a pack of 16 oz. tall boys and as I was drinking the last beer I decided that this was the last drink I was going to ever have. I took my last swallow and then said a prayer to God to please help me get sober. All I cared about at that point in my life was to not die a fall down drunk. I have been sober for eight years.
Keep up the good work. Happy sober Thursday!!
@@DK-sr2wi Thank you so very much! I am still sober and likely to remain so, God willing!
@@patszer8314 It's certainly a wonderful life
@@DK-sr2wi It certainly has been ever since I decided to get sober my friend.
Congratulations. Sometimes we are heroes to ourselves alone. And that's enough.
SOBER by the Grace of a Wonderful Fellowship.
Thank you Joe for your excellence in music and boldly sharing your sobriety! I'll have 11 years on 10/25/2023
Joe Walsh...You're right...one day at a time ...& lots of meetings. Thank God for AA.
If you're out there struggling with addiction, I feel you.
The transition back into sobriety can be brutal, at least it was for me.
Took me ten years of relapses to finally put down the bottle for good. I didn't think I had it in me.
Now 14 years sober, I'm living proof it can be done. If you're struggling, talk to somebody. Support is all around you. Hang in there. I'm praying for you.🙏 love and respect
Thank you so much brother
im 36 years clean thru god's grace, i almost cry everytime i listen to this
"I got help from something greater than me." That's the most important line in the song. You cannot pull yourself up by your own metaphysical bootstraps. The only way is through God.
Ole!
100% !!
It's nice to see rock stars share their sobriety with others. Awesome song Joe Walsh! I've been sober 39 years and I still take it one day at a time.
For sure, ODAT. I've been doing it for 32 years now and every day is a new day. There is joy after drinking and drugging!
@@DavidSmith-ik3fe Congratulations 🥳🎉 🙏 ❤
Congratulations ❤ 🥳🎉 🙏
I am 66 yrs old i have been sober 26 yrs april 19 1989 i have 6 children 15 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren. If i was still drinking i guess i wouldn't be as i would be dead by now. and i wouldn't be able to enjoy my family . thanks to ONE DAY AT A TIME and my higher power GOD.

I admire you. You did it, "One Day at a Time."
+cyndie eykamp Amen!!!!! I've been delivered from drug and alcohol abuse by my higher God and living the serenity prayer instructions of "living one day at a time and enjoying one moment at a time". God Bless
1:31 is a heartfelt moment.
Sober since 11/19/1990. Twenty-six years and going strong, by the grace of God.
Thank you, Joe! By the Grace of God 7209 days here, but who's counting? ;)
Well 7yrs ago I made myself a promise & I've kept that promise for myself haven't had a drink in 7yrs so Joe Walsh 1 day at a time rocks & yes he's one of my all around favorites. So just one promise can bring many gifts. A thought to ponder. We can thank the lord for the stars AA for keeping out of the bars & are sobriety so we don't end up in the back seat of a cop car lol one of my favorites. So I'm going to leave this behind so true so true.
We the willing lead by the unknown have worked with so little for so long that we are now capable of doing anything with nothing. Bob Johnson
I'm 68 and been sober for 17 years now. I've just come across this song. Love it.
Peace and contentment rules! ❤
How are you doing
God bless you and your family
1095 days sober. Thanks Mr. Walsh
This song is also for those of us who are just growing older ( Like Joe ) losing friends year after year. Aopreciate em while you have em!?
So True !! 🥺🦋
Beautiful song. I got down on my knees in 2010, and regularly get back on my knees and thank God for delivering me of that demon disease. Praise God! LOVE this song
God bless you and your family
Been clean since 10th May 2004, that's 6520 days above the clay through NA......
Thanks to AA for without you guys WE wouldn't have OUR wonderful LIFE SAVING PROGRAMME ❤️
Oh and my partner is closing in on 1000 days in 6 days time
God willing
Love Joe Walsh ♥️
I hear you Joe. Three weeks ago made it 23 years that I’ve been sober. You just have to finally tell yourself, “I’m sick and tired..of being sick and tired.” Whatever it takes, whether it’s a group to talk to or just you in the mirror, believe in your own strength and trust in the support of those who love you. God Keep.
28 years of sobriety, and it is still one day at a time. Joe, thanks for the song, thanks for the SONGS! Keep coming back. It works when you work it.
Sixty two days sober and working on the steps of AA . My mom sent me this today =) love Joe Walsh ! Favorite eagle .
Congratulations Mike. Praying for you Brotherman. Keep up the strength.
Hang in there dude!
Hang in there Mike...........It Works...............32 yrs and still loving it......................
36 years one day at a time, keep up the good work Mike!!!
Hey Mike Walker, how's it going? Keep up the meetings. I know I couldn't have done it alone! I've got over 17 years sober thanks to God and AA. God bless you, man.
To all the folks getting clean that posted comment here. You are braver than you know. Stay with it and you'll never regret it!
Thank you
beautful
thank you , 11 months clean after 24 years of heroin just turned 40 years in april, cant believe where all the years have gone, my love to all stay safe. god bless. peace.
Awesome 🤘
Especially if you choose to walk through the door to an AA meeting or similar. It takes great courage to do so, particularly alone. Never ever forget that.
Ooh man ! Those 2 lines, " Lord I hadn't planned living' this long " and " I got help from something bigger than me.... !" just hits one in the solar plexus !!
Wow, I had heard this song before but never listened to the lyrics. My husband and I met in recovery eleven years ago. He recently passed away less than a month ago. As I was crying one evening alone in our home, missing him so terribly and feeling hopeless and alone, this song came on the radio. I felt as if he played it for me, to comfort me. He died sober and clean and helped so many live sober and clean. This song makes me smile because without recovery, I would have never met this glorious man and shared 11 wonderful years with him. His name was also Joe. Thank you Joe Walsh for carrying the message. God Bless.
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference God bless everyone who has overcome the Affliction of addiction. Rock on Joe!
Bless you June! You will be with Joe forever someday!!
I get this completely...so sorry for your loss bless you ...recovery is a bumpy road and a brave one ..the hardest thing to do but like joe says one day at a time x
like the many lights we see in a darkened stadium at a concert, you and your Joe's light (example) still shines as a great beacon to many. keep it up, "one day at a time". xoxo
So sorry hang in there
My Brother sent me this song when I was six months sober,I keep the lyrics in my purse. I read them to my home group when I received my 6 month coin and on weds when I did a lead at a friend's home group for the first time. It touched alot of people. Thank you Joe for being a spokesperson for sobriety! I'm almost the 4 yr. mark! It's a beautiful way to live.
God bless you and your family
Today is day 57, I listen to this every morning after my prayers and meditation it cranks me up for a clean and sober today, follow the steps, enjoy the freedom and keep coming back... thanx Mr. Walsh
Thank God he's still with us Today......
I'm about 4 months sober by the grace of God and turning my will over to Him. One day at a time!!
What a dynamite song. For every member of AA. Sobriety is a gift and miracle.
Hello how are you doing
Eight years sober. Joe being sober really assisted me in the initial stages of recovery. I looked up to him, as well as being a fellow guitarist. I call him "Uncle Joe."
72 days and counting one day at a time. 3 Rd time around. Thank you AA. Recovery programs..and Joe Walsh !!
Thank you ,,it is now 112 days 😉
You were graced a third time to come back to the rooms. It will stick. Did for me the 3:39 third time. Keep coming back. It works if you work it. What else ya gotta do?😊
Compliments to Joe. He told a story in 3 1/2 minutes that others have tried to tell in 300 pages. For me after 23 years, it is still One day and then another. My congrats to all my brothers and sisters who live for that daily reprieve.
One has to respect a kind spirit like Joe Walsh. I am sure he helped more than 1 person with this song and with this special note. I am truly moved and affected by his words. 💕
Hello beautiful 👋 how are you ??
Yes'um
Hello how are you doing
So True !! 🤗
I'm not in recovery, and still drink my share but this song speaks to me for a reason far different than a lot of you who have commented on this post through the years.
Joe Walsh is one of the rare musicians who have made masterpiece after masterpiece after he sobered up. A feat that is seldom seen in the music business, especially in rock music. You can probably count the number of musicians, and bands on one hand that have done this, sadly.
I love the entire Analog Man album that this track is on, and just about every song he's ever done solo or with others that he's done since he's been in recovery. The man is a master, and criminally underrated and under appreciated by many, especially my generation and those younger than I am (40). I don't know how many musicians who wrote songs about being higher than a kite, or drunk as a skunk and then songs adopting the AA slogan "One Day At Time" or other recovery based tunes and make them instant classics like he did.
I've been blasting this song for years, and whenever I feel like I'm struggling in my life put it on to help remind me to push forward and live one day at a time instead of wishing each day away, I know my reasoning for my love of this song doesn't make sense to a lot of you considering I've stated I still drink and such but that's my perspective on it.
Thank you, Joe Walsh for years of fantastic music!
I just found this song. I just celebrated 2 years clean. This song will be in my daily rotation.
Thanks Joe Walsh for always being real.
My absolutely fav guitar player EVER gets up and witnesses about his downfall, and his return by the grace of "A power higher than me!" Legend, Joe, nothing short of legend!.
+Fred van der Vyver - agreed! he's always been my fave since the early 70's...
yeah and true but dude is dead,.....Joe ain't!
Fred van der Vyver , That's a very inspiring post. Thanks for putting it out there
+ Fred van der Vyer - mine too up there with Jeff Beck
Fred van der Vyver witness!
Every Eagles concert or joe Walsh solo concert , this should have a place in your set list..even if it reaches a handful of those in the audience it's a handful more who will turn their life around and live...not only for themselves but everyone who had loved them...thanks joe
My mum is an eagles nut. She's seen the last 2 farewell tours. This song would play in the car and I didn't think much of it. Kinda too radio friendly almost pop. But now I'm in the grasp of alcoholism wow. This is my daily soundtrack. Thanks Joe. You exposed your vulnerabilities and enabled us little film to feel comfort and promise in the future.
Thanks Joe! Love you...always have, always will...
I remember when he used to talk in the Howard Stern show. He was so drunk and clearly in a dark place. It's inspiring to see someone recover from that state to what he is now: better than ever. All without taking himself seriously. The man is a miracle and deserves all the best.
As of Nov 1st, I've been sober for 18 years now. It wasn't easy, I'm thankful for God, great friends and family. I couldn't do it without you all.
When I feel sorry for myself I play this and realise how lucky I am... One day at a time "Keep the faith"
Been sober 27 year's,Thanks Joe
James Christopher Davis has
Congrats
Sober since 9-19-'82, by the grace of God - one day at a time!
One of the greatest musicians and likeable rockers of ALL time...
Been sober for 3 years listen to that song every time I want a drink
Joe Walsh is a nice guy a fabulous guitar player and a great human being.
Joe Walsh is a special person ,my name LONNIE JOE PIKE 3RD AND GREATFUL FOR MR.JOE WALSH BECAUSE ME AND MY SON LOVE THIS SONG SO I HAVE A LOT OF LOVE FOR JOE WALSH AND FAMILY
How could anyone not LOVE JOE WALSH?❣
A great and funny human being 😊😆
He is great
I’ve been done for drink driving and now know I have to be sober not put other people in danger and to lose my family because drinking was more important to me so now am taking one day at a time a friend told me to listen to this song and it’s helping thank you!
God bless you and your family
God Bless You Joe. !!! Never thought I would hear ir in a new song !!! You go,,, Joe. !!!
Oh, how I can relate to this song! It is, like, hearing my life put into lyrics and tune. I was arrested for drunken driving and was sentenced to three meetings a week for a year! That was the start of a brand new life, not only for me, but my new friends and family! That was 44.5 years ago and, not unlike Joe Walsh, I am still sober and performing my own shows as a singer at the, ripe, old age of 77! One Day At A time!!!!
Thanks Joe I am living my day one day at a time here in Detroit with Alzheimers and Epilipsy. HOpe to say hi next week in Detroit. Give Waddy My love..Penny Lawyer You are an inspiration to me.
Hope all is well Penny .Hang in the Girl!
God bless you and
First heard this song in my third attempt at rehab. Third time was the charm. 8/9/16 is my “birthday” and I’m so much happier today! My addiction was the same as Joe’s...alcohol. Cunning, baffling, powerful! But Through God all things are possible. If anyone reading this needs help, I beg you to please get it. It’s not easy, but life is better on this side of addiction. God Bless You Joe!!! Thank you for writing such an inspiring song that many of us totally relate to!! Keep living “one day at a time”!
I had the honor to meet and talk with Joe a few days ago. Something about my drinking past was heavily on my mind that day and our conversation about it really brought my thinking into a whole entirely new perspective about focusing on the "now".
You could tell that Joe was a genuinely sincere man who really did take an interest. You never know on your path of recovery who or when you will come across people who will lend you a hand, or advise, that you'll carry with you forever. Thanks Joe.
This occurs when a song is written with a lot of emotion, love, but above all a lot of knowledge. Not to mention a top - notch performance. All honors and tributes to the great Joe Walsh.
As a woman in recovery since april 11 2004, i appreciate this song, your love and support of sobriety immensely. May God bless you always in all ways.
@joe walsh way back when you fronted the James gang,have you on cassettes,albums & on my you tube music, & everything you've done with the Eagles& solo too. You are in my top five. Love you Joe . I hope you keep going!
And may God Bless you too!
Thanks Joe, Still struggling after 7 months but still sober.
you can do it, I know you can. Just have faith.
One day at a time wxdude01.
We're all rooting for you.
Are you still aboard?
hope your still sober...get to meetings...don't isolate yourself
wxdude01 I hope you have remained sober.
My wife is fighting Pancreatic Cancer and loves Joe Walsh and this album, for some reason, right now, this song is appropriate. I, (Mike Furches) have been chronicling that battle on my FB page, it really is a love story that is like few others. Thank you Joe Walsh for the reminder, we live life, or at least many of us do, one day at a time.
I'm not sober yet... this song brings tears and hope
Just passed 20 years clean and sober... love ya Joe!
I'm 69 years old and have enjoyed your music from the beginning. I finally saw you live last summer in Chicago. And two nights ago I listened to you speak on a Zoom AA Meeting. Your share topped it all. I'm sober 13 years and have listened to a lot of stories in the program. Your presentation, for me, ranks right at the top. I could relate to so much. But you have a gift of being able to put into words clearly with energy and feeling how and why this program works., 'One Day At A Time".
Song helped me get and stay clean..1 yr and counting
Joe was put on this earth TO WRITE THIS SONG for all the folks living their lives one day at a time.
Gotta admire him for being sober for over 18 years. Love ya Joe!!
I've been in the Fellowship for 3 years now, I've had my share of relapses. Today....struggling. I have to remember to take it "one day at a time" Thank you Joe.
God bless you and your family
I'm nearly 41. My mum Hayes alcohol and sent me this song. I've been pretty a bad alco since 14/15 years old. Every time my road to recovery detours which is still pretty much daily, at the end of the sesh I put this on and tell myself tomoz. I won't give up and this song shows and tells me why. Thankyou Joe.
30yrs.sober ONE DAY AT A TIME, I am 76yrs old and would like to live until my 81, it would me I have been sober longer than I was a drunk. Got to get to 35yrs. sober, I would be sober longer than i was drunk.
I heard this song originally on The Eagles Farewell Tour DVD. They never did a studio version of the song so I'm glad that Joe recorded it himself! Great song Joe.
What a great human being.
After relapsing... 10 days sober..
I know I WILL MAKE IT again! One day at a time!
Keep strong brother, a real crap battle. Once you've fought it, smile and you can say "I MADE IT" ;)
Congratulations Joe Walsh! As for myself, I've been sober since January 9th 1993. "One day at a time"
Hello beautiful
Thanks Joe! 140 days clean and sober but for the grace of God one day at a
time.
Update please?
The AA anthem! Should be played at every meeting.
11 years for me! This is the song! Also T. Graham Browns song he wrote about getting sober, “God, turn the wine back into water.” If u r trying to get clean and sober my words To you are these, hit your knees and pray to our Heavenly Father for help! Confess everything! He will take you into his arms forever! God Bless you all ! I won today, I made it through again, thank you some mush lord I am so humbled by your grace!!!
I will be celebrating 28 years of sobriety.
Thank you for today!!
I've always been a huge fan of The Eagles my whole life. My Dad listened to them a lot, & his favorite Eagle is Joe Walsh. My Dad (George) became a Grandpa on his 50th birthday in 2003; & on June 17th this year, he will be 69 & his grandson, Tysen, will be 19. Like his Grandpa, Tysen's favorite Eagle has always been Joe Walsh, & they both got a kick out of Joe's sense of humor too. They both had an exceptional memory as young kids, & as a result, I'd do the same with Tysen, that Dad did with me. Teach him as much about his favs as possible. He knew all of the Eagles names, dobs & in order of age too. And from the time that I 1st put on multiple dvd concerts of The Eagles, especially, The Farewell 1 tour Live in Melbourne Dvd, Tysen, was crazy about the Eagles music & especially Joe. He'd take his toy guitar & say to me, Look Auntie, I'm Joe Walsh of The Eagles. And of all of Joe's songs, this was Tysen's song. He knew all of their songs word for word, & could mock Joe singing this song way before he ever went to school. Every time I hear this classic of Joe's, my mind goes back in time like a premonition & I can still see Joe on tv & Tysen standing in front of it yelling out, Oh Yeah. One Day At A Time, etc... Thanks Joe & the rest of the gang for all of their great songs. This song & their Farewell One Tour dvd will always be 1 for Tysen's childhood history book of favorites. All the best of life & health to you, Joe. Life long fans of yours always from Iroquois Falls, Ontario, Canada. :)
God bless you and your family
This song literally saved my life after treatment. 522 days sober today! Thanks Joe!
I am 65 and just recently celebrated 33 years sober. I used to go to a meeting in North SD County that Joe attended a lot when he lived nearby in Encinitas. Those guys were an incredible fellowship to me.
Beautiful song Joe. I did my hash tag walkaway from Bacardi 151 seven years ago. A friend of mine told me back then that the demons that tortured me in my dreams was alcohol. THAT sobered me up. I thought they were real. Been sleeping much better since then. One night at a time. Cheers bro.
We should open our meetings with this tune.
I can relate to this song in some way too, Joe. My Dad struggled with alcohol (his favorite was beer) from the time he was a teen until 3 years ago when his health took a turn for the worst & he finally quit. Both my brother & I were glad too. We also have an older brother that struggled with drugs of all kinds for years & quit all of that finally about 15 or so years ago. I've had many other relatives who struggled with their own addiction battles, & I'm lucky that I never fell into the partying way of life. If anything, I was on anti-convulsants for Epilepsy from 3 months (Nov. 1975) to Oct. 1, 2001 & for me, that was enough. I never felt the want or need to drink when medically, I've already felt a bit of what my Dad was with his booze, & watching him slowly deteriorate from it, hurt way too much to follow that path. Thanks again for songs like this one. It should be used as the song used to help others realize that you can have plenty of fun without drinking, etc... I've lived my life that way. As I've posted somewhere on youtube before that my favorite song of yours is the 1 of all fast songs & Pretty Maids All In A Row. When I first heard you sing that ballad, it stopped me dead in my tacks. I thought, God, that's a 360 of all of your other ones. You're just as amazing at singing ballads, Joe, as you are at the get up & dance ones. Even my Dad & others agreed. You should do some others like that. Take care. :)
Imagine this, February 9, 1964 somewhere in America, a 16 year old Joe Walsh is sitting in front of a tv set watching the Beatles for the first time, just like millions of us. He had no idea, no inkling that the short, long nosed drummer would some day become his brother in law. Ain't life grand? One year sober myself and I'm never going back.

Sometimes it's one minute at a time. The desire has left mostly , but I still find myself at times , creating the perfect scenario where I'll be able to drink like a gentleman. 60 days again. Had 4 and half years at one point but got all better don't you know. This song is the steps summed up in a song. Thank you Joe.
