[Mark WW]

Many years as front man for Poco with Rusty Young who also passed earlier this year. Such a talent. My wife and I have been to 3 concerts. He played Gretsch guitars too.



Vapors...

I met Paul years ago before a Poco show out at Nassau Coliseum in Long Island, NY. Nice guy. We sat in the hotel restaurant for an hour or so, just making small talk about bands, guitars, music in general. He was a fine musician, and his best song, "Bad Weather," is a classic. Godspeed, Paul.

One of my favorite videos of him is with Rusty on steel pedal and Furay playing Indian Summer.

I did not know Rusty passed. Really liked Poco.
