I was just reading through the Poco forum and it looks like Paul Cotton is leaving the band!
With Paul and Rusty, it was still Poco... but now, w/only Rusty remaining from the old guard, I'm not sure how the band can go on. No disrespect for their current members George L and Jack S.... but I dunno, it's just not gonna be the same. I know that Poco has suffered several line up changes... but at least there were always more core members than not. While Paul wasn't an original member, he stepped in and gave the band so many great songs. He contibuted so much. I'm actually saddened by this news.
So, anyone who had the honor of seeing TBS last year perform w/Poco, you really did witness something special. It was great that Timothy had decided to join his old bandmates (special in it's own right)... I'm sure many hoped TBS would join them again some time in the future. Now, with Paul leaving, it makes it even more special that Timothy was able to share the stage w/Paul last April... because anyone who held on to the hope that they could see that same line up again... well, that hope is lost. :-(
Hard to believe it's been a year...
