"When Heart toured with Van Halen I asked Eddie why he never played acoustic guitar, his response ‘I don’t have one.

I gave Eddie one of mine and he immediately wrote a song on it that stole my heart.

After he passed, it hit me so hard I felt it was time to pay tribute to him.”

Awesome.

I love that tune!! Such a great tribute.

I have been in love with this woman since 1977.

Beautiful woman and tribute!

Her timeline is off. She has said in the past she met him in the 80s and he told her he had never played an acoustic guitar.

Spanish Fly is on VH2 which was released in March 1979.

What shows did Heart actually appear on the bill with VH?

Oh and she’s miming that performance, as if it wasn’t obvious.

**Dave's Dreidel** · 04.23.21, 03:56 PM

She's in her 60's and has played probably a thousand shows, I think we can give her a break on the exact year she met Ed.

Heck, both Sam and Dave get whole tours and albums wrong when they are talking.

Quick question: did someone pee in your cereals this morning?

Still such a cool tribute. I have always liked her. Even more when Heart released the video for Never. I used to be memorized by her like many teenage boys

Kind of funny but I actually like the songs she sings better than her sister.

From 1982 ...

No she said he didn't own one at that time
