One of my favorite bands from the 70s: "Poco"

[Navy Chief]

My best friend in high school first introduced me to "Poco"s music. To me, their style is similar to the Eagles, but the vocals are quite distinctive. My favorite LP of theirs was "Indian Summer".

Here's a couple of their videos:

Just For Me and You 1972

You are right, Chief! Beats the alternative! Ever listen to The New Riders of the Purple Sage? Same time period.

I checked them out, and did recognize several of their songs! Thanks!

Henry, did you know that Gary Sinise is a bass player? Pretty good too, I think!

You'd lose that bet, Hank. I played the bass before I took up the guitar, and knew all about Ms. Kaye from Guitar Player magazine. Speaking of musicians eveyone has heard, but may not know their names, one of the greatest (and most recorded) guitar players on Earth, Tommy Tedesco, came from my home city of Niagara Falls. There's a big mural of him on Pine Avenue in our Little Italy section.

I really like Carol Kaye's sound! I just downloaded a recording from the 70s called, "Zodiac", with her playing in a band. Great stuff.
