Henley grew up in a small town called Linden, Texas - population 202 (after the baby boom). His affinity for rhythm could be detected as early as 1960, the year he won "Best Square Dancer in the Second Grade" having broken each of his classmates' legs. He first became interested in music after trying out for the high school football team in hopes of becoming attractive to cheerleaders and other small rodents. The coach took one look at the scrawny guy and, after laughing his butt off, said "Dream on, loser." Desperate for a way to get on the football field, Henley joined the marching band. At first he attempted trombone, but having to figure out where to put his fingers while simultaneously blowing air through the horn proved too difficult. Who could predict that years later, he would become an expert at blowing hot air and tooting his own horn. The band teacher recognized that Henley was one of those "special people" whose talents lie in the fine art of hitting things with a stick. To everyone's amazement, Henley was able to learn to use TWO drumsticks AT THE SAME TIME within the span of only a few months. When Henley saw the stunned faces around him as he used both drumsticks at once, he realized he had a special talent and decided to make it a career. He and three friends formed the band Felishitty and started making a mark on the happenin' Linden music scene with such inspired songs as "El Santa" and the touching "Dream On, Loser". When their gigs in the local Dairy Queen parking lot were not received well, they decided it must be because of their name and changed it to Dilly Bar. It worked. Kenny Rogers, who had an ex-wife named Dilly Bar, heard their name and felt sentimental enough to help them get alimony. Free to exercise their songwriting chops, the group came out with such masterpieces as "Swamp Bomp A Loo Bop" and "Chopsticks for Weasels". The Gambler approved, but no one else did. Suddenly, Henley had a revelation: music sucks. Especially his. He would have to go back to Texas.... what could be worse??? In despair, he got rip-roarin' drunk. And here is where fate played a hand. Henley went to a club called the Troubadour and started throwing the liquor back. At the point of stupor, he made out someone walking towards him... a skinny guy with a bad haircut who smelled like pot. Henley perked up. Perhaps he had some pot for sale... but no. "Hi, I'm Glenn Frey," the man said. "I noticed you tapping on that bar and realized you could keep a beat even after being almost dead drunk. I need a man like that to back Linda Ronstadt with me. You interested?" (Ronstadt is That Girl from "Pirates of Penzance.") Misunderstanding what Frey meant when he said "back Linda Ronstadt," Henley eagerly said yes - and a legendary pairing was born. To celebrate, Frey took Henley to a party in LA at which at least three people were thrown out of windows and music was played so loud they heard it in San Diego. A young man named Jonathon Osborne left early, saying "you guys are too wild for me!" And that is how Henley and Frey became backup singers for Linda Ronstadt, helping her to hit the high notes. Two months later Ronstadt lamented, "I don't know which one of you is worse" at which point they formed the band "Eagles."
