What a magnificent singer/songwriter he is. Listen to Poco station on Pandora. LOVE this iteration of Poco and his contributions. In the shadow of the Eagles must have been tough. Sounds like he’s having a good Life
I saw Paul Cotton live at the Coachhouse in San Juan Capistrano… He performed with Poco.. His music so moved me that after the show i went up to him and told him so…he grabbed my hand and asked me to marry him…he was drunk, of course, but what a fantastic night that was!
I will never forget seeing Poco perform live in a small venue where they were up close and personal.
