As far from metal as I can get today.
When I left to go to the store yesterday I noticed someone had tied a balloon on my mailbox that said, “I Love You”. WTF? This had to be a case of mistaken identity. Whom do I know nearby who loves me besides my cats and in Chloe’s case that’s dubious? Sammy, OTOH, loooves me. Who could my secret admirer be? Not a clue. So I got an early Valentine from either a secret admirer, or the balloon was on the wrong mailbox. Or maybe someone just felt sorry for a misanthrope like me. I guess I should feel like it’s a good feeling to know somebody loves me. Hence today’s song by Poco. Poco was the Eagles before the Eagles. And when Poco broke up, their bassist Timothy B. Schmidt, became the Eagles’ bassist and sang high harmony.
Happy Valentine’s Day.
It wasn’t me. LOL
Wasn’t me, either: https://youtu.be/h1WJqKWqUHQ
The Dude abides… 🤣
If my old man memory serves me correctly, Poco is generally credited as the first band that had this new California country rock. Was lucky enough to have seen them many times in small venues back when they were new. Thanks for posting.
That was the first song that I ever heard by Poco. Back in 1972 when I was going to broadcasting school we got a promo copy of it that I found while screening a box of 45s. It kind of walked off and ended up in my collection. Now before the outrage starts, I also donated a lot more vinyl to the school than I pilfered…….
Wow, I never realized that. I just went back and listened to some poco songs and I can’t believe I didn’t hear that before. Thanks for the lesson!
Happy Valentine’s Day ❤️
Happy VD everybody.
Playboy had a cartoon in which a woman was aghast at his chest VD tattoo, as he was saying “Honest, my name is Virgil Drennan.” (That’s not the name Playboy used, I don’t remember the name they used.)
Always a good feeling to know in the Biblical sense!
Their song “Just for me and You” begins with the sad tale of a man in need of Viagra, “Wish that I could come….”
