Poco - Sagebrush Serenade (1974)

Some excellent guitar-pickin' in this tune.


imo, Poco is most under-rated.

I saw Jethro Tull in 1982 at the Omni. It was a very good show, refreshing and simple compared to some of the concerts of the time.
They wore animal suits and ran around in a circle under a strobe light for Bungle In The Jungle. I was tripping.

Hank Williams

"Why Don't You Love Me" (1950)

It was played at the end of the movie
"The Last Picture Show"; which I thought was a very appropriate ending for that movie.

The only band I saw 3 times in the 70s was Tull; Ian Anderson was the reason I started playing the flute (no, not that kind, Clowny!) with guitar and sax playing friends in college. We did a mean version of Wooden Ships, lol.

Also a Ray Thomas and Ian McDonald fan.

#15: Hi Corky: You boxed and played the flute in your youth? Lucky you didn't hurt your fingers or lips, Zamfir!
