While growing up in poverty, Don “the Fingers” Felder taught himself to play guitar. After getting his start with bandmembers from Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, he joined the Eagles. He not only co-wrote the iconic song “Hotel California,” he has the highest selling album of all time: Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975, which sold 38 million copies.
He has performed with some of the biggest names in the industry, including the Bee Gees, Peter Frampton, Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Barbra Streisand, and Sir Elton John. He is also a best-selling author of Heaven and Hell: My Life in the Eagles. In 2001 he left the band after 27 years and 150 million records (and counting).
This week, I am thrilled to have him on our show to share how his morning meditations keep him grounded, how he rose from the backwoods of Florida to become a member of the rock and roll hall of fame, and what his song-writing process looks like. He was a real pleasure to talk with, and I hope you enjoy this week’s episode as much as I did.
