Dr. Robin Silver's calls usually consist of people complaining about his
group's pro-environmental activities. So when the founder of the Southwest
Center for Biological Diversity received a call last week from Don Henley at
his Phoenix home, you can imagine his surprise. "I said, 'The only Don Henley
I know was head of the Eagles, and he would never be calling someone like
me,'" silver said. Henley had seen a story about the center in the Dallas
Morning News and wanted to help. Within a week, he organized a fund-raiser
that consists of him in two concerts on March 9 at Union Hall in Phoenix,
with special appearances by Stevie Nicks, Bruce Hornsby, fellow Eagle Timothy
B. Schmit and Roger McGuinn, formerly with the Byrds. "His knowledge of
environmental issues was very impressive; it was just like talking to an
environmentalist," Silver said of Henley. "Only he can sing," added Danny
Zelisko, the producer who is helping to organize the event. Considering the
intimacy of the hall (2,000 seats) and the fact that it is a fund-raiser, the
prices are reasonable at $36. and $51. Tickets go on sale Monday at Dillard's
outlets, 503-5555.
