I have been way to busy to look at emails much or post lately so hey
everyone whats up? I want to say that the only thing left out in this last
post was that yeah, musicians came and went in Poco but they always did it
so damn well...LOL. they still made great music, they still sounded like
Poce and they did it damn well...LOL :-)

Also, I wasn't going to get Poco "The Essential Poco" because I have all
their stuff mostly. But beautifully put and now I want to run out and git
it.... So thanx, LOL

>The Essential Poco
>Poco
>Music from Sony
>Release date: 19 April, 2005
>
>After their early start with Buffalo Springfield, guitarist Richie Furay
>and bassist Jim Messina paired again to create the band Pogo. While that
>name was quickly nixed by Walt Kelly (whose cartoon possum sported that
>same name), Furay and Messina remained undaunted. Changing their band name
>ever-so-slightly, they became Poco. They called in Rusty Young, George
>Grantham, and Randy Meisner to round out the band.
>
>What began in 1969 as a band strong on harmonizing remained constant over
>the years, despite personnel changes. Messina went off to record with Kenny
>Loggins. Timothy B. Schmit took over for Meisner. Paul Cotton jumped in to
>add his talents. And, Furay walked away after five years. People came and
>went, and sometimes even came back. What always remained constant were the
>harmonies.
>
>Soft country rock evolved into gutsier (but still light and easy) blues
>rock. The blues influence became even more noticeable on their fourth
>album, thanks to producer Steve Cropper.
>
>All the various contributing artists are recognized on The Essential Poco,
>as are 10 of their albums. What makes this disc so remarkable is that this
>is the perfect combination of tracks that demonstrate the growth of the
>band. From the beginning to the end, all that was Poco is very well
>represented.
>
>In many respects, it's strange to look at the original album release dates
>and realize how long Poco's been a part of my life. Songs I associated with
>certain periods of my life have that little tag next to them, reminding me
>exactly how old I am. That's not necessarily a bad thing, either. Like the
>band, like the music, I've grown and evolved into a more mature being with
>greater depth (or so I like to think.) The Essential Poco serves as part of
>the soundtrack for much of my truly formative years and that's fine by me.
>Whether it's "A Good Feelin' To Know" that one of my early crushes has been
>given a theme song in my memory, or I remember my first real boyfriend as a
>moment of "Crazy Love", Poco was there. And, now, thanks to Sony, I get to
>relive those times with the music I loved back then.
>
>Sorry, nobody's borrowing this CD. Nobody - I have a distant youth to
>reclaim. Okay, maybe if they bribe me other similar music, but I want this
>one back!
