RE-EDIT: Play That Rock'n'Roll: Joe Walsh

I had never uploaded this episode onto YouTube before, fearing copyright complaints by the heavy-handed Eagles organization, but since Blip deleted my channel, Ifigured I should get this online. I cleared out a number of copyright risks, combined both parts into one video, and cut the runtime down a bit. Hopefully, this version shouldn't be any trouble. This is the second episode of "Play That Rock'n'Roll", and it is a career retrospect on noted guitarist, Joe Walsh - from his James Gang origins, to the Eagles, to his solo successes and failures, to reunions and where he is today. Includes "Joe Walsh Guitar Lessons".
