Back in 1973 as we were traveling through this part of the country we were listening to Glenn Frey as lead vocalist of the Eagles on the radio singing Take it Easy about standing on the corner in Winslow, Arizona, lyrics he co-authored with Jackson Browne. A few years later civic leaders in Winslow decided to capitalize on their fame by creating a Standin’ on the Corner Park with a bronze statue of a guitarist, presumably Browne, and a mural of a girl in a flat bed Ford. Just four days ago they celebrated the installation of another bronze statue, Glenn Frey (1948-2016). We enjoyed being among the folks that come to town specifically to stand on the corner, to find a geocache, and to patronize the local businesses. What fun!
Winter Magic in Medina
By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
