He's playing a solo gig in Boca Raton, FL next weekend, which is about 30 minutes from my house. Alas, it's a private performance.
I'm going to two...Troubadour and Coach House. Can't get away to Bakersfield or Berkeley, unfortunately. Should be fun, though...haven't seen Richie at the Troubadour since the 1970s!!!
After talking to John and Ileen, I am bummed that I didn't make arrangements to come to the show at the Coach House! The Standing only at the Troubadour is not too appealing to me.
What I've heard of the RFB doing Deliverin is quite a treat. By the way, that IS an organ on the RFB's version of Deliverin' <smile> I'm pretty sure that Rusty would be totally fine with it. If Richie wanted to play with a lot of rotten musicians and try to do a Poco thing, it'd be sad but Richie Furay is great and he, like Rusty surrounds himself with excellent musicians! Jimmy is always honoring of Poco when he plays Kind Woman and a few of his contributions.
My take is that Poco has given me a 50 year dinner of excellent music, with the last 25 being pretty much desserts. I will keep eating the desserts and enjoying each mix until I am forced to leave the table!
Besides, with Rusty and Richie carrying on, there is more opportunities for fresh things and twists on old favorites and who wants to hear the same old thing until it falls apart and cracks up? That's a sad legacy. This is just a win for fans of Poco's longevity in many forms and main and supporting personnel.
