2011-03-08T23:24:00.001-08:00

Whitney discovered the existence of some obscure Randy Meisner songs off of the soundtrack Faith. We have only been able to track down one of them. You can find the lyrics here: Into the Night

Happy Birthday Part 2

For another treat, I uploaded a clip from the old series Ironsides featuring a song by The Poor (Randy's old group). You can see Randy playing at about 1:10 (he's wearing a red shirt) and again a few seconds later.

Watch Out for Randy Imposter

2009-02-21T20:13:00.000-08:00

As some of you may already know, there is a man who impersonates Randy Meisner in an attempt to solicit gifts and money. This man frequents casinos, mostly in the Las Vegas area. If you are approached by this man and he claims to be Randy Meisner, please report him. He is a con man.

Another Randy sighting

2008-10-20T08:51:00.000-07:00

Mike A. just happened to catch Randy participating in the Barrett-Jackson Auto Auction last week as a celebrity driver, who drove one of the cars onto the auction block. Those with the Speed Channel might be able to catch it on a rerun. It appears they're airing some highlights from the Scottsdale auction tonight (Oct. 20) at 10:00 pm Eastern, but I have no idea if he'll be on there.

Randy sighting

2008-10-14T10:14:00.000-07:00

It's always cool when Randy pops up in the news. Turns out he's a Dodgers fan, according to the Courier Post.

Randy and the World Class Rockers's Apr. 6 show

2008-04-06T23:48:00.000-07:00

Randy appeared with the World Class Rockers at the Naples Music Festival on Sunday, April 6. The event was a benefit to raise funds for The Garden of Hope and Courage, a memorial garden. You can read more about the show and see some photos (none of Randy, I'm afraid) in The Naples News.

The World Class Rocker site has a new photo of Randy (see small version on left; go to their site to see the photo larger). Nice jacket!

Randy going to Europe in June?

2008-03-28T19:21:00.000-07:00

Found this interesting mention in the Reidsville Review:

"[Michael] Ken will tour Europe in June. He said he already has a fan base there; a couple songs from his first two albums, "Livin' On Borrowed Time" and "Somewhere in Carolina," are hitting high on the music charts. He'll have the chance to play with Randy Meisner, who wrote "Take it to the Limit" with the Eagles."

So Randy will be in Europe in June, apparently. I wonder what else he is up to there?

Happy Birthday Randy!!
