Thoughts and observations.
1. I am looking forward to hearing the whole new CD and I am glad that Rusty's retirement did not take.
2. Latest bookings are now " POCO featuring Rusty Young.
3. Richie and Paul are playing together as the "The Songs and Voices of POCO". I am hoping that Richie and Paul are a big part of any and all of the 50th anniversary shows. Very generous of Rusty to allow the use of the trademarked name POCO by his former partners. Hopefully next year will allow most of the most significant and (healthy) former members to play together. TBS may be busy as his current employer attempts to milk more milk out of the same old birds. (why does TBS only sing lead on 2 songs, while Frey's kid and Vince Gill sing 3-4 songs?--another of Rusty's former coworkers-go to youtube to see Gill and Rusty)
4. Many of the venues for POCO's booking still use an old press release and include George Lawrence as the drummer. It probably doesn't matter much, but, why not correct something that is easily fixed.
I look forward to seeing POCO featuring Rusty Young in Feb of next year. One good thing about living in Fl is that many people want to play here in the winter and I don't have to travel far!
