I love you George, but Paul dedicated 40 human years of his life to Poco (not 38), and did not leave them to persue a solo career. He just made his first solo CD, while the 'original' members of Poco came together to create their 'Legacy' (he wasn't even allowed to record or play with 'his' band of brothers, on this 'very special project').

Well to be even more precise- you're both wrong. Paul joined poco in October 1971 and left in March 2010 so it's a bit more than 38 but less than 39. You are correct that Paul was not part of the Legacy project which was envisioned as a reunion of the 5 original members of Poco - and even George Grantham who was one of the original members was not allowed to play drums during the recording of the album. It would not have been a reunion of the 5 original members if Paul was part of it- and as you point out he was busy making his first solo album- "Changing Horses"- at the time anyway. Dennis

Dar,
I stand corrected. I was wrong on the math. It was of course 1970 not 1971 when Paul joined Poco.
Mea culpa.
I however, stand behind my other comments.
