Southern John David Southern or Southern. If somebody 388 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,479 Speaker 1: just told me the other day they went to school 389 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:17,920 Speaker 1: with JD. 390 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 2: Souther? Uh knew him? Knew them? Well? Was that Larry Hoffmann? 391 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,440 Speaker 2: Somebody told me they went to school with JD. Souther. 392 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 1: And if I had known that when JD was alive, 393 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 1: I could have weaseled an introduction there. I mean, forget 394 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:38,640 Speaker 1: all the music JD. Souther slept with Linda Ronstadt. Now 395 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,919 Speaker 1: I'm gonna hear from some people who don't understand the 396 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: meaning of what I just said. And they're gonna go Ronston. 397 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,360 Speaker 1: Ain't that vine? Linda Ronstack could be eight hundred pounds. 398 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: She's lendham by gum Ronstad. Do you un you have 399 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 1: any clue that you are in the presence of greatness 400 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 1: when you are near Linda Ronstadt? And he was laid 401 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 1: all upon it anyway. So Glenn Fry and j D 402 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:09,400 Speaker 1: Salther had a band that was originally called JD. Wasn't 403 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 1: j D at that point that was part of his 404 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,680 Speaker 1: musical image, his transformation. At that point they were John, 405 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 1: David and Glenn, which sounded like three members, but he's 406 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 1: only two. 407 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 2: And then they added. 408 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 1: David Jackson, so John David Salther and David Jackson and 409 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: Glenn were John, David and Glenn. But JD wanted to 410 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:40,399 Speaker 1: be John anyway, so they decided that that name just 411 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 1: didn't fit. You already had Crosbie Stills in Nash and 412 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,439 Speaker 1: Emerson Lake Compone had you had these bands with the 413 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 1: three names Peter, Paul, and Mary, and that was popular. 414 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 2: At the time, late sixties eiry seventies. 415 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: So they come up with the name Long Branch Pennywhistle, 416 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 1: which I've always thought was one of the coolest names 417 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 1: and you know they were sitting around smoking pot and 418 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 1: hi on, lord knows what all drugs. This is late sixties, 419 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 1: early seventies, and long branch Pennywhistle sounded like one of 420 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,919 Speaker 1: those whimsical terms John Lennon would throw out for a 421 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 1: name that. 422 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 2: Was just funny. 423 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 1: So I that had been swirling around in my head 424 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 1: for months. 425 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 2: Long Branch pennywhistle.
