Souther said of the writing of "Best of My Love": "Glenn found the tune; the tune I think came from a Fred Neil record...We were working on that album (On the Border) and came to London . The three of us were writing it and were on deadline to get it finished . I don't know where we got the inspiration ." Glenn Frey recalled: "I was playing acoustic guitar one afternoon in Laurel Canyon, and I was trying to figure out a tuning that Joni Mitchell had shown me a couple of days earlier . I got lost and ended up with the guitar tuning for what would later turn out to be' The Best of My Love ."' According to Henley, much of the lyrics was written while in a booth in Dan Tana's Restaurant close to the Troubadour . The maître d' of Dan Tana, Guido, was thanked in the liner notes of the album . </P>
