Trivia

Had hit singles in the Seventies with "Rocky Mountain Way" and "Life's Been Good".

Guitarist with The James Gang, Eagles and The Party Boys.

Made his long-awaited return to the Howard Stern Show studio nearly 15 years after his last appearance. Aside from a brief conversation over the phone in 1993, Walsh had avoided the show while trying to clean up his life, which had been filled with drug and alcohol abuse. He is now married and the father of two sons, ages 9 and 6. [April 8, 2005]

Licensed amateur (ham) radio operator with call sign WB6ACU.

Released his first solo album, Barnstorm, in 1972. This album featured his first big solo hit, Turn to Stone.

Along with most of the other former Eagles, he made a contribution to the Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982) soundtrack.

The "Reunited James Gang" Walsh toured with in 2006 was, despite what was advertised, NOT the original line-up. It was actually the Rides Again/Thirds line-up. "Classic" line-up would have been a better choice of words.

One daughter, Lucy Walsh, was born in 1981. She is a musician/singer like her father.

September 2008, he announced on the Steve Dahl radio show that he is engaged to Ringo Starr's sister-in-law, Marjorie Bach.

Brother-in-law of Ringo Starr and Barbara Bach.
