Bryndle was an American folk-rock band first formed in the late 1960s in Los Angeles.
The original lineup consisted of singer-songwriters Andrew Gold, Karla Bonoff, Kenny Edwards (founding member of The Stone Poneys), and Wendy Waldman. with several instrumentalists joining them for recordings or concerts over the years.
In 1970, Bryndle recorded sessions for an album for A&M Records, with Peter Bernstein and Dennis Wood playing bass and drums, respectively. Newcomer producer Chuck Plotkin worked with the group, but their would-be debut album never materialized. Only one track, Bonoff's "Woke Up This Morning", was released as a single, briefly becoming a regional hit in northern California but failing to win a wider audience. With little to show for their considerable time and effort, the discouraged group disbanded.
Waldman, Bonoff, Gold, and Edwards each established solo careers and undertook session work in the 1970s and 1980s, and each worked closely with Linda Ronstadt in this time period. Edwards, who had been a founding member of the Stone Poneys prior to the formation of Bryndle, recorded and toured with Ronstadt for about ten years beginning in the mid-1970s. Gold was a key member of Ronstadt's backing band for several years. Waldman became a friend of Ronstadt and also toured with her for a period; they collaborated on a song, "I Want a Horse", for the 1980 Sesame Street LP In Harmony. Bonoff was one of many songwriters whom Linda Ronstadt introduced via covers on her albums, notably "Someone to Lay Down Beside Me".
Well, hello there, my, it's been a long, long time
How am I doing? Oh, I guess I'm going fine
It's been so long now and it seems that it was only yesterday
Gee, ain't it funny how time slips away
How's your new love? I hope that she's doing fine
I heard you told her that you'd love her till the end of time
Now, that's the same thing that you told me seems like just the other day
Oh, ain't it funny how time slips away
I gotta go now, I guess, I'll see you around
Don't know when though, I never know when I'll be back in town
But you just remember what I tell you that in time you're gonna pay
