I think Russ has a great idea there. Better yet can you do live DVD's?
I would love to see you sing Magnolia and How Many Moons whenever I
wanted to. See you soon. Maybe you will grant my wish and do one or
both of them in Keeshena. Nickie
 
Russ Links For The Country Rock Band: Poco 21/Jan/2001:23:08:22
Good luck with the recording process, Paul. Would you consider recording
your solo gigs, so that we could get some good takes off of the Coast Is
Clear? If you recorded all of you solo gigs, you could take the best
tracks for a possible solo live recording. Think about it! The fans
would love to hear sets of songs from Poco, Changing Horses, The Coast
is Clear and Firebird!!!

Keep up the hard work, we love you for it!

Russ

bad weather is my favorite song of all time. My music tastes were
heavily influenced by the eagles, but I will never forget finding the
Poco 2 disc set the forgotten trail and hearing bad weather for the
first time. Thanks Paul

I am a Poco nut. The finest band that I have ever seen in concert. I
want to see Poco in concert again. I have seen all the best. The Who,
backing up Herman's Hermit's in 1967; The WHATEVERS doing WHATEVER, ETC.
still..... The music I have heard at a POCO concert is beyond
compare...Rusty Young is the absolute master of the Pedal Steel
Guitar .. I used to wonder why he didn't just go to Nashville and
simply wait for the offers to play .. but, I know what really drove
POCO .. the burning desire to be ORIGINAL... I almost died when I
thought the orginal POCO was actually back together in 1989.. tuff
luck..however, I am more than glad to know that Paul Cotton, The Falcon
Master, is still around. Paul, you keep making beautiful music, I'll
keep working my *** off to keep buying it... RIDE THE COUNTRY SIDE, my
buckaroo, and keep on THINKING FREE.

Paul: I was so sorry to have missed you a few months ago when Poco
played at Treasure Island, FL. I see you have a listing for Gulfstream
FL in Feb. I am sure going to try to make it. I really need a live Poco
fix very bad. It has been two years since I last saw you guy's in
Orlando. Sure hope to see you soon.

Hello Poco, and Paul Cotton fans! I saw Poco last year when they came
to Mt. Clemens MI. Great concert on the waterfront. Had the chance to
Paul and Rusty. Have known George Grantham for some time now and
he "warned " them that I may get a few words with them. I was in
Colorado on our Honeymoon June 98. Beautiful state. My wife Carol and I
had the pleasure of meeting Richie Furay for lunch before headoing back
to Michigan. Being a an "influenced " musician made all those meetings
so meaningful. I am looking forward to the new Poco Cd and catching a
concert. Paul, keep writing...happy New Year!!!
 
jean michel minaud   23/Dec/2000:10:43:07
Twenty five years I listen the music of POCO with always the same
pleasure. It is a fantastic group.
believe a new album and a european tour, why not?
Please I want more informations about POCO and paul and how finding all
their albums. in France it is difficult.

HAPPY X-MAS and a good 2001 FOR ALL FANS HERE

Joe and Nickie Solo   19/Dec/2000:18:00:11
Hi Paul, Joe and I want to wish you and yours a very merry Christmas
and a happy new year. Wish we could be with you guys on New Year's
Eve. That will be a blast! We hope we can come see you at Keshena in
February. It will depend on how busy Joe is at work and whether I am
teaching as well as on the weather. We have been having some nasty
snow storms. I'm wearing out Firebird and all my Poco CD's and waiting
impatiently for some new tunes. Keep on making that great music Santa
Pauley. Nickie and Joe

Your friend,

Hi Everyone! It's me again. Sorry it has been so long since I've been
in touch. Want to take this time to wish everyone Very Happy Holidays,
and a great new year ahead in the year 2001! Speaking of New Years,
Poco will be playing at the Universal Ampitheater in Los Angeles for New
Year's Eve, so that should make for a great celebration. Wish all of
you could be there with us - and look forward to seeing those of you who
can be there. Plans for recording the next Poco album are underway and
it should be out in early summer. I'm also planning some solo
performances next year, so will keep you informed as more info becomes
available. Once again, I look forward to seeing you all next year.
Happy Trails to you All,
Ho=Ho-Ho - Santa Pauley
 
David Voyda   07/Dec/2000:23:37:00
Howdy Paul, First I would like to thank you for all the great music
you've made over the years. I realy like your new CD Firebird. My
favorite song by you is Ride the Country. I like the new version very
much. It was nice to hear Rusty playing on the CD also. I've had the
pleasure of seeing you perform several times over the years (with POCO)
its been awhile now! I fist started listening to Poco around 1970 its
timeless music. You have a Great Year and GOOD LUCK always,keep on
making Music, Thanks from Dave
 
B.L.   04/Dec/2000:21:42:40
I have absolutely no idea how I stubbled on to this web page.
But I sure am glad I did. My mother and father use to frequent the Brown
Derby in the Heights. I remember ISP well. Do you remember a Chicago
area band named J.C.Heartsfield? The South side wasn't such a bad place
to grow up in the sixties (and 70's). Love your stuff.
 
Rob Ernst   28/Nov/2000:19:16:03
Paul,
I just wanted to express my thanks for all the hard work and great music
you've given us over these *ahem* many years. It was such an honor to
meet you at the Little Bear and speak with you. Like meeting one of the
Beatles. It was great to hear you, Jock and Rusty trading licks over
those 3 songs too. I also saw Poco at the Grizzly Rose and Loveland's
Rialto Theatre. I have to say that the sound at the Rialto was top
notch and the only venue that truly did justice to the vocals. And
wasn't it especially fun at the Griz to have Richie play. Just awesome
was "Good Feeling to Know", "Kind Woman", "Pickin' Up the Pieces" and
"On the Way Home". Poco just does a fantastic rendition of that classic
Buff Springfield tune. And your accoustic version of "Bad Weather" is
just so fine. Poco should consider doing a LIVE CD soon. You guys have
it all there for a smash hit...ala Peter Frampton. I would love to hear
Poco do "Railroad Days" and "Ride the Country". I also love you
 
Art O'Brien   28/Nov/2000:17:55:37
Paul:
It's great to see a site that pays tribute to a great talent. I have
very fond memories of seeing Poco at Perkins Palace in Pasadena, CA in
November 1980. I saw you outside the building and was too surprised to
ask you for an autograph! No matter, as I saw you and Poco a little
over two years later (Nov.- Dec. 1982) at a little club in Downtown San
Francisco (can't remember the name) and got your autograph and Rusty's
on the cover of "Ghost Town." I couldn't believe my luck to see you
both walking through the seating area before the show, and you both
were so nice to sign it for me and exchange pleasantries. Eighteen
years later, I still have and treasure that album, as well as those
memories. I am looking forward to hearing "Firebird," and hope that
you'll be up this way for a show sometime in the not-too-distant
future! Thanks for all the years of great music, and the years to come!

Art O'Brien, Minneapolis MN
 
dan   20/Nov/2000:01:02:28
Paul, Just a quick note that Firebird is simply a wonderful CD - I got
it when it was first released and have played it continuously in the
car CD player - great variety of musical styles, wonderful
musicianship, and great lyrics. Keep it up - It makes life great.
Also just got The Sky Kings CD from Rhino so I'm set for a while but
really hope you guys pull together a new Poco CD as well. Take care.
 
Steve Grgich   17/Nov/2000:04:51:44
Paul: Iloved the shows at the grizzly rose and in Loveland. It was a
wonderful trip for me. Meeting the members of Poco with Richie was a
30 year dream come true. Do you still have my From the Inside album?
I realize George arrived late and you were busy. If I can get it back
itwould be wonderful as it is my favorite album. Hope that you enjoyed
the vino. It was a great weekend and i hope to see you again soon in
California.
 
Thomas Tomovich   11/Nov/2000:04:46:25
Paul, just want to let you know that when I heard A RIGHT ALONG, I knew
that this band had it all under control. I have been a fan since the
mid 70's. I have an older brother that turned me on to you guys. And I
thank him often. I just recently found the Poco website. Just awesome.
If you guys could find the time to slip into PA. or OH. IN 2001, I know
that you all will not be disappionted, nor will we!! PLEASE CONSIDER! I
never had the chance to see you guys and that would just about complete
my concert fix. I'm a concert junkie. Just can't get enough. So let me
thank you for all the great music you have given us over the years.
Take Care, Tom.
 
Beverlee   04/Nov/2000:01:22:20
Paul,
Just scrolled down about two months worth of messages.
Several stories unfolded.
You're life is expanding even further still.
You're family and "friends" imparting love, support and applause to you as a man and musician.
I knew you a long time ago as one who shared my sense of humor!
The longevity of POCO is exhilarating!!
You're becoming timeless!!
As it should be!!
Guess what???
We stayed as young as we always knew we would feel!!!
I am sooo looking forward to seeing you with the band again in New Jersey!!!

Always remember the '70's for the good times they were!

did you and rusty get the package that was sent to you at the grizly on
oct 27
 
Carol Gunnoe   27/Oct/2000:15:40:44
Paul,

While looking through an autograph book, I came across your autograph.
You and the Rovin' Kind were performing at the Cheetah in Chicago in
the mid '60s. It was such a thrill to see and hear you in concert.
That was one of my many happy memories.

Carol Gunnoe
 
Bill Smith   23/Oct/2000:00:00:30
To Carol, Paul's sister, I am from up in the Pittsburgh, Pa area. A while back I called the local music/book store to see if they had Pauls new CD yet. when the lady answered and I told her to check on Paul Cotton's new CD, she said the Paul Cotton from Poco?? I told her yes. She said she was your room mate in college and once Paul came up to see you and she met him. Anyway I didn't get her name, but just wanted to pass it along. Take care and you got a great brother.
 
Terry Barkley   16/Oct/2000:18:18:23

Hi Paul,
I've been corresponding with George Lair of the Alabama Music Hall of
Fame in Muscle Shoals. They had not realized that you were born in
Alabama (Fort Rucker in 1945?). I turned him on to your webpages and
Poco's as well. He seems excited about the possibility of your being
added to the Alabama Music Hall of Fame! I'll keep my fingers crossed!
Saw you with Poco in Annapolis Oct. 7th (even got your autograph!). You
guys were great as usual (-&- George Grantham and Jack Sundrud of Great
Plains are wonderful new/old additions to the band)!
Terry Barkley

P.S. Check out the website for the Alabama Music Hall of Fame. You'll
be impressed.
 
Bob Flesher   13/Oct/2000:17:31:54
Greetings from Amarillo, Texas. I am looking forward to driving Denver
to here you at the Little Bear and The Grizzly Rose. I have been a POCO
fan for many years. Plan to get "Firebird" for the trip.
 
Gary   12/Oct/2000:05:21:25
Hey Paul; It's great to be able to let you know how much I have enjoyed
and appreciated your music since "Bad Weather" on Poco's FROM THE
INSIDE. That was the album that made me a believer of that style of
music and I've been digging it ever since. Your unique guitar sound
from chiming acoustics to the White Falcon is such a pleasure to hear.
I'll see the Poco tour when it comes through Denver in a couple of
weeks. Peace...
 
YOUR SISTER, CAROL   10/Oct/2000:02:38:11
Hi Paul. It's great to see that your tour is continuing through the
fall. We hope to make it down to Evansville, Ind. next month. If any
of your fans in that area can give us directions from Northwest
Indiana, (probably passing through Bloomington) I would appreciate it
very much. They were a great help with directions to the Hillsborough
concert this summer. Also does anyone know if there is an age limit at
the casino in Evansville. My 19 year old and friends would like to
come. This is the most we've seen of you in years!!! Now if you'd only
make it up to Chicago or vicinity. Hope to see you again soon. P.S.
Is there any chance of doing "ACROSS A PAINTED SKY" IN Evansville? I
Love It. love carol and family

jann   09/Oct/2000:21:24:44
I just wanted to say hello! Your version of MAGNOLIA is still my
favorite song ever. Please let me know if you are appearing in the
LA/Ventura area. All the best, Jann

Gina Boersig   17/Sep/2000:17:59:17
Hey! I was at the Alton Expo Festival last night and was Very happy to
be able to sit so close to the stage and get a chance to take some good
photos with my new Canon Rebel. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE being able
to see Poco in such intimate settings (I also went to the Hillsboro
Horse Show aka Jefferson County Fair) but I really believe Poco
deserves to be seen by all of it's fans from over the years and to do
that they need more PROMOTION! St. Louis has an awesome concert
facility Riverport Ampitheatre. I think that if Poco linked up with
some other Country Rock bands they could successfully put on a Major
Hoedown!!! Also, even at the smaller venues it would be a good idea if
Poco had some promotional materials for sale, t-shirts, CD's,
whatever. I heard many people asking if they had anything available.
Hey, they might as well give the people what they want and benefit
themselves in the meantime. Poco's older fans have jobs now, we can
afford to invest in some good enter
 
TLC   15/Sep/2000:16:50:54
Hello Paul,
Bought a copy of your CD today. So very sorry to learn about your
mother. My thoughts are with you and your family.
Good Luck and Continued Success.

Hi Paul,

We finally found this site!
It was nice to get to meet you at the O.C. Fair. We enjoyed
the show even though it wasn't long enough.
We're going to try to make it to the sun theatre show.
Good luck with your new CD, We love it.

Hope to see you and the rest soon.

Sincerely
Guenevere -&- Antoinette

I finally got to see Poco again after 6 long years of waiting.The show at Treasure Island
was fantastic. My wife and I came all the way
from NJ to see the show. We made plans with a
few members of the Good Feeling To Know Internet group to see the show together.
I got to meet all the band members before and after the show everyone is so freindly.I got
autographs from everyone including Grace! Highlights from the show were Rose of Cimmaron
Call it Love, Keep on Tryin, Good Feelin to Know, and a searing version of Boomerang Paul
Rusty and special guest Jock Bartley had those
guitars wailin. Thanks Poco See you soon in NJ

Twila Prunty   11/Sep/2000:15:07:13

Finally! Some information about Paul and Poco. I have been looking for ANYTHING on them for awhile now. I have had the pleasure of seeing Poco three times over the past 5 years......And that is not enough. This Saturday, September 16, they will be playing at the Alton Expo and that is only 10 minutes from my house. I AM VERY EXCITED! Love the music. Twila Prunty
 
wayne graves   10/Sep/2000:23:32:03
Well, got back from St. Pete today after seeing Poco play at Treasure
Island last night. What a great night we had. The set list was only 10
songs as they were opening for Firefall. For once I am glad they were
the opening act, because if not we would have gone home disappointed.
The skies opened up two songs into Firefalls set and they pulled the
plug, canceled the show and we all ran back to the Hotel in the rain
and lightning. We had a nice little group of Internet Poco fans there
and it was nice getting together for food -&- drinks before -&- after the
show with everyone.
Grace Grantham was there, so we had the opportunity to meet her
finally. A very nice young lady. The guys were very accessible after
the show and signed everything anyone asked them to. They posed for
pictures, and laughed and smiled. It sure seems they are enjoying
themselves.
It was nice hearing George again. And Jack Sundrud is a very nice,
friendly guy. Paul was just extremely friendly and he seemed so
relax
 
Bev   10/Sep/2000:01:21:05
Tempest is fudgiting! Ergo, I think I will try to make it to the Annapolis, MD gig.....invade my sister's home, some 20 miles outside of Annapolis, hijack her BMW "SUV-thing"...you know how I love cars, and get to see you guys! If you can't make it to NJ, then NJ will come to you!!! Did it CA! So, Maryland....pshwa!!!
Put me on the guest list! Just don't ask me to streak again!!
Xoxo! Bev

Russ Links For The Country Rock Band: Poco 04/Sep/2000:22:08:55
Dear Paul,

Im conjunction with my web-page for Poco - poco.musicpage.com, I have
added a page of fairly recent concert scans of Poco. I encourage Paul, -&-
fans to see the 1st page @ http://homepages.go.com/~lassitor/PC.html.

I also encourage friends and fans to forward me other concert photos so
that I may add several other pages.

Keep up the good work, Paul. We look forward to a new CD sometime next
year. We also look forward to the OFFICIAL Poco web-site. Hope to see
you in Oct. in CO. Bring the Gretsch!!! Sincerely, a BIG fan!
 
Scott Kimber   31/Aug/2000:16:23:46
Paul's new album "Firebird" is excellent! All the tracks work. Any Poco
fan will love this record with Rusty's overdubs. Long Live Poco!
 
Dennis Sargent   30/Aug/2000:11:36:08
Howdy,

I have to agree with Beverlee. Hey Paul/POCO, the NJ/NY area needs a
POCO fix bad! If you do get to the area and would be willing to play a
small intimate venue WDVR-FM has been presenting live shows at "the
Loft @ Studio D" which is just above the station. We'd love to have
ya!! Your music is a big of a program I host on Wednesday nights at
10pm.
Hey all you POCOnuts check out "the crossroads" at WDVR-FM 89.7 or 91.9
in Sergeantsville, NJ or on the web at www.wdvrfm.org on Wednesday
nights at 10pm for some POCO family tree music.

Keep on POCOing.

Chip and Shawna Ryle   30/Aug/2000:02:58:35
Hi, i just wanted to say that Shawna and i just came back from a Poco
show in lincoln City,Oregon. what a faboulus time we had. They
(Rusty,Paul,George,Jack); were in fine form and we both enjoyed their
performance. Paul, thank-you for making my wifes night by giving her a
big ol hug after the show. You mean everything to her. Keep up the good
work and we will be waiting anxiously for a new album and tour. Anybody
else out there in Web Land; i strongly recommend catching a show or two
from this fine band. Shawna and i drove ten hours just to see them, so
i challenge all of you to out do this. You won't be sorry!!!! Loved
every minute of their performance. Chip.
 
Beverlee   28/Aug/2000:23:45:56
Hi!
It hardly seems fair that you and/or the POCO's are not performing in the NYC area!
What's up with that? No Central Park gigs???? oh...forgot, they don't have them there much anymore...or Roosevelt Stadium? oh, forgot..that place was paved over a LONG time ago!!
OK...but, why not a good old New York/New Jersey booking????
It's breaking my heart!!! Would love to see you!!
All the best!
Beverlee
 
Shawna Ryle   28/Aug/2000:03:10:55

Hi Paul,

Just wanted to thank you for the geat show on Aug. 25 in Lincoln
City OR. We have been waiting a long time to see you again and the four
of you together again sound GREAT. We will keep working to get you in
our area soon (Spokane).

Thank you for letting us take pictures, by the way they turned out
great, and for letting talk to you. Wish the night wouldn't have ended
so soon.

Again thanks, take care and hope to see or hear from you soon.

Greetings from Massachusetts,
I just received my copy of "Firebird" via U.P.S. and I am expectedly
pleased. Nice job Paul,really fine stuff!! I've always enjoyed
your "sound" whether with Poco or solo...like the Rusty Young touch on
the "Bad Weather" and "Ride The Country" remakes!
I hope like hell to steal away to Springfield(Ma) on Friday 8/18 to
catch ya'll.
all the best,
Will C.

Hi Paul -

thanks for a wonderful new album; ten years have been a long time, but
it was certainly worth the wait. These lines come to you all the way
from Germany, where I have been a POCO fan for about 25 years now - and
came upon your first solo release "Changing Horses" by pure chance in
1991 (issued through an exotic Swiss label here).

"Firebird" is a wonderful album (it finally arrived here today, thanks
to the miracles of modern technology) and I hope you still stick with
your invitation in the liner notes to "do it again".

Any plans of ever touring Europe?

Best wishes -&- lots of luck with whatever your future plans are,

Christian
Schwabach/Germany

Paul -

I've been a HUGE POCO fan since 1969. I am in the Navy and have seen
POCO 3 times (I wish I could have went to more shows)...each show
was an experience I will never forget. I want to see you guys when
you come to San Diego at the end of Septemeber...

Just wish you the best of luck and to thank you for the YEARS of great
music and "good feelings to know"....

Visit my homepage sometime...

Thanks, YAK

Hello Paul! Alan from Chicago. I spoke with you at the TGI Friday's in
Moline after the Riverfest was cancelled. Val's Halla in Oak Park has
had "Firebird" on backorder for quite awhile. Please get it there ASAP!
What was the deal with Rusty asking me if I had done a lot of Acid? To
answer his question...I've tripped about twenty times and have tasted
Owsley's best! If he was being sarcastic, it didn't sit well with me.
That's O.K. though. Rusty is a great guy. And so am I. Just let him know
that I didn't end up like that "Strawberry" character from "Up In
Smoke". LOL! "I wasn't looking at his neck, man!" Have your booking
agency contact the Naperville, IL Special Events Division. They do a
fest called the "Last Fling" Labor Day weekend. They'll book you and pay
you guys top scale.

DAVID M. BYRD none 03/Aug/2000:04:58:04
JUST RECEIVED "FIREBIRD" FROM AMAZON. VERY GOOD, EVOCATIVE, AND MATURE.
(THAT'S OK WHEN YOU'RE OVER 40) OOPS! I LIKE IT MUCH BETTER THAN
"CHANGING HORSES". THE ARRANGEMENT OF "RIDE THE COUNTRY" IS ESPECIALLY
SATISFYING. SOMEHOW I ALWAYS FELT THAT WAS A SONG THAT WOULD WORK OUT
WELL WITH A MORE DELICATE TREATMENT. WAY TO GO, PAUL. DMB.
 
Barbara Affeldt   27/Jul/2000:07:58:41
Paul - Let me hear from you!!
 
DAVID M. BYRD   26/Jul/2000:03:22:50
HELLO, HAPPY TO SEE YOU'RE STILL MAKING MUSIC. JUST ORDERED 'FIREBIRD'
FROM AMAZON. THIS IS ALL NEW TO ME, THE WEB AND ALL THAT GOES WITH IT.
I'M ASTOUNDED AND HAPPY TO SEE INTEREST IN COUNTRY ROCK STILL EXISTS.
IT SEEMS THE MUSIC BUSINESS IS SO FICKLE, GOT TO ALWAYS COME UP WITH
SOMETHING ELSE TO KEEP PEOPLE INTERESTED. IT'S DRIVEN BY FASHION RATHER
THAN FEELING. GLAD TO SEE POCO STILL KICKING, I UNDERSTAND GEORGE AND
RUSTY ARE ON BOARD, THAT'S GREAT. I WISH YOU'D COME CLOSER TO LOUISVILLE
KENTUCKY. SPEAKING OF RUSTY I CAN'T SEEM TO FIND ANY OF HIS RECORDINGS
WITH THE SKY KINGS. AMAZON DOESN'T EVEN LIST THEM, CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE
HELP ME? THANKS, GOOD LUCK, BEST WISHES, DAVID M. BYRD.

I want to again share my thoughts on Paul's Firebird CD. I've listened
to it many times and believe me I think its one of the finest
collection of song I've ever heard. I don't think POCO will be up in
Minnesota, I do hope, I'd sure like to see them. Thanks again Paul for
the autographed CD and the great music--Joel
 
Naomi E. Connecticut Pocophotos 25/Jul/2000:00:25:06
Hi Paul and Pocopeople,
Here is a page I made of "Pocophotos" from the CT show in May. Glad
George is back, it's almost a total reunion! I have to say "Pleeeeeease
come to NJ"!!!!!!!!! I hope you guys will add some songs from Firebird,
and some more Poco songs also. Anyway, the CT show was awesome!

Ann   22/Jul/2000:17:31:56
I must say that the high point for me at the Jeff County Fair was
'Bad Weather' sung solo, sweetly. Despite the crowd, that song
seemed intimate, intense. Thanks
 
John   22/Jul/2000:14:50:08
Hi Paul
Caught your show at the Hillsboro fair last night. I just want to
say thank you. Thank you for last night and the other dozen or so times
that I have seen you guys play. I have always made an extreme effort to
see Poco perform when you come to the St. Louis area. I've been a huge
fan since probably around '70' or '71'. Again thanks, seeing you guys is
always 'A Good Feelin' To Know'. My wife says thanks for the T-Shirt.
 
Gina Boersig 22/Jul/2000:06:20:07
Hi Paul!
Just met you at the Hillsboro Fair! What a great concert! I've loved
Poco since highschool (70's! yikes!). thanks for the t-shirt and for
taking the time to autograph it and shake my hand. I have to say I
wanted to run back and hug all of you and let you know just how much
your music has meant to me. Please take it to heart, you should have a
"good feeling that somebody loves you". love you lots, Gi

to say the least! we hope to see all of you at these upcoming shows
during the coming months and thanks again for the very nice comments
regarding the firebird cd. hopefully we'll be doing a few of those songs
from it in the near future. the very best of summer to you all!

Michelle   09/Jul/2000:15:42:30
Hello Uncle Paul,
We are going to try and come and see you in Jefferson County fair. Too
bad the concert in Moline was rained out. If anyone reading this knows
how to get to the concert area please write me back. We are from
Northwest Indiana and need information about the area. If it is
outdoors, what happens if it rains? If there is anyone who can help us
it will be very helpful. Thanks!!
Hope to see you there Uncle Paul,
Michelle
 
Glenn Zak   03/Jul/2000:00:40:17
I have a alblum titled the songs of Paul Cotton and want to know why I
cant find it listed anywhere? It is truley a Poco lovers dream album!!!
 
Dennis Watson   01/Jul/2000:03:57:32
Paul Cotton, my favorite member of Poco. Just a note to say how much I
enjoy the music and the couple of times I have seen Poco in concert. My
favorite cassette is a home made recording of all Paul Cotton songs
titled "100% Cotton".

A dream come true for me was when I had the chance to meet Paul after a
concert at the Ohio State Fair in August of 1997. Thanks for the
memories and keep on making my favorite music.
 
Mark   29/Jun/2000:17:05:21
Paul...

Poco -&- the Illinois Speed Press still are two of my most favorite
bands. They inspired me creatively as a musician -&- thrilled me as a
listener, -&- still do. It's unlikely you'd remember me, but (too) many
years ago, I caught many Speed Press shows (mostly in St. Louis -&-
Illinois), got to know you -&- Kal a tiny bit - even hung out with you
backstage at your Fillmore East gig. Yes, we're talking that long
ago.

I know (from talking to many folks I'm still friendly with from the
60's) that a baffling question resides in many minds --- that being ---
WHY AREN'T THE 2 SPEED PRESS ALBUMS ON CD? I have searched far -&- wide
for years - -&- found no trace of them. If they do exist, do you know
where I can get them? -- and if they don't - why is this so -- and
might this sad state of affairs ever be remedied?

The world changes by the moment, but our love for certain things
artistic doesn't. Paul, my very best to you - your music -&- words have
stayed alive in my heart for over
 
Mark Baker   27/Jun/2000:07:29:03
Paul, tis I, the guy that flew from Seattle with girlfriend in tow and
couldn't get enough Poco in Reno. Just want to reemphasize how much the
show meant to me since I hadn't heard you guys in 6 or so years since
Remlinger Farms, Carnation, Wa. I hope the photos turn out that my
girfriend took of us. I meant to ask if you knew of anyway to get a
copy of the Midnight Special show you did? I remember High and Dry
started out in this studio-type setting and then it metamorphosed into
a live stage rendering. It was way cool. Oh well, my band is working
with 3CI, they book local casinos and Firefall was here a few months
back so I'd like to see what it would take to get you booked here. The
Emerald Queen Casino books a lot of retro bands so my fingers will be
crossed. Thanx again, Mark Baker
 
Bob   25/Jun/2000:05:13:11
Paul, a very warm and friendly album. I've had my (autographed) copy
for several weeks now, and whenever I play it, my mood mellows right
out. A better recommendation I cannot give. My compliments to you and
the other members of your group, and I hope a bunch of these songs find
their way on to the Poco set list. Also, a big hurray for the folks at
Futuredge for the care taken on this project.
 
Bill Bielby   18/Jun/2000:05:09:39
Great web page. I'm from the Harvey IL area, a few years behind Paul at
Thornton. I once owned a 45 of "Marie." Wish I still had it. Saw them
perform it at the Harvey YMCA. Paul and the Mus-Twangs were an
inspiration for my group, The Newports, which performed in and around
Harvey IL from 1961 to 1966.

p.s. - Paul - do you remember Sue Pohl? She was a family friend who
used to hang out with the Mus-Twangs.

Paul-
Congratulations on "Firebird" Variety is what sets your CD apart. So
many CDs now are simply a collection of variations of one song. Your CD
is unique because it incoporates so many different and well-crafted
songs into one truly great work of art- Please keep writing!
 
ricky moncus   09/Jun/2000:18:19:46
paul thanks for all the great music,looking forward to the release of
firebird,hope you tour some on it,and don,t forget atlanta,the variety
playhouse would be a great place to play,i remember what rusty young

but we're a proud few.good luck ricky
 
Phil Reynolds   07/Jun/2000:16:29:58

wish you continued success.....

Paul,

I have had my signed copy of Firebird for a copy of weeks now. I just
wanted to say I love it more each time I play it. Hope you and Rusty,
George and Jack find the time to record something together for us, your
loyal fans out here in Poconut and Cottonnut land. Rich, Thanks to you
again for this great site for Paul and keeping us at Goodfeelintoknow
informed about Paul and his career. We love you man!!


Happy Trails,

JUST GOT FIREBIRD. WHAT CAN I SAY. EXCELLENT. MY BROTHER HAS BEEN A FAN
OF POCO SINCE 1968. WE MET PAUL AND RUSTY IN ORLANDO AT THE WMMO
CONCERTS. HAVING SO MANY LOYAL FANS JUST SHOWS HOW YOU HAVE TOUCHED OUR
SOULS AND HEARTS OVER THE YEARS. LAST YEAR WE SAW YOU AT SAVOIRE
FAIRE , ALSO BY WMMO. YOU HAVE RELATIVES IN SARASOTA, SO KEEP COMING TO
FLORIDA. THANKS. HAPPY TRAILS.
 
Paul Connors   01/Jun/2000:13:27:10
I saw Paul and Rusty perform as POCO this past Saturday (27 May '00)
at Foxwoods Resort and Casino in Connecticut. I drove 3 hours to see
them, only to find out that they had only been allocated 45 minutes to
play. They opened for PURE PRARIE LEAGUE. What a bummer! POCO should
have been the reason for the concert not the other way around.

It was a decent sized (not overly large) theater and I thought the
acoustics were GREAT! Perhaps the place was a little too small given
the power these guys put out and I was fortunate to have good seats. It
was obvious that everyone there was there for POCO. I was a little
disappointed that the crowd did not get into singing HEART OF THE NIGHT
and CRAZY LOVE when those songs were played. I think Rusty and Paul
were a little disappointed, too. It was a fairly reserved crowd except
for when people yelled out titles they wanted played.

I saw Paul and Rusty on River Street in Savannah, GA in the summer of
1994 (outdoors) and they w

Well, Hello Paul! After reading through the guest notes I see that you have sent signed copies of the CD. Well...where's mine!!!?? ;)
I will sent Rich McG. my address and hope to find one in the mailbox soon!! Going to see Richie this Sunday in NYC. Seems a friend of Toni's saw my addition to the guest list and got in touch with me and put me in touch with Toni. We re-connected had had a phone-a-thon!! Remembering the old old days at the Capitol Theater! I am forever grateful that she was at the other end of the stage with that raincoat that night!! I am sooooo happy to hear you are still performing and hope there will be a time when I can see "youz guys" again.....
Till the cows come home...Bev.

Dusty Fonnesbeck SunRiver St. George 24/May/2000:18:20:22
I had missed hearing about Paul and was thrilled to hear about his new
CD,"Firebird." Paul is a great guitarist and has a unique sound to his
vocals, ones that I have enjoyed since his ISP days. Hopefully, he and
Rusty can put together a new Poco CD in the near future, but would hope
that some of the former members, especially Richie, might be included.
I know that Richie still holds Poco and its members dear to his heart,
and Rusty did play on Richie's CD "In my Father's House" in 1997.
Anyway, Paul, you've got a great website, and I appreciate being able
to check in, and look forward to receiving my copy of the "Firebird"
CD. Best wishes on your efforts in all that you do.

Just stumbled on your page and your old band I.P.S. I'm a big Kal David
fan and we get to see Kal occasionally in Connecticut whewre the The
Fabulous Rhinestones were big in the early 70's. I can't seem to find
any of the I.P.S. recordings. Are they available anywhere ir are there
plans to make them available? I'd enjoy hearing Kal in the early days
and look forward to listening to your recordings too.

Paul, FIREBIRD is a great CD. What I enjoy most about it is the variety
of the songs. Everday I pick-up somthing new in another song, each time
I listen to it its an adventure. I hope some day POCO will get up to
Minnesota. Thanks again Paul for FIREBIRD---Joel
 
Paul Cotton   19/May/2000:04:49:13
Hello Everyone! Want to take a moment to thank all of you for your very
nice and enthusiastic comments about Firebird. It is rewarding to me to
know that the music brings you pleasure, and I enjoy reading your
stories very much. I hope you'll spread the word about the CD - it will
make all the difference. I look forward to meeting many of you at the
upcoming Poco shows. Thanks again - Happy Trails! Paul Cotton
 
DANNY SCHNEIDER   19/May/2000:02:35:34
well paul you have outdone yourself again,from your early hits like
bad weather,driven wheel,angel,faith in the families,indian summer,heart
of the night etc. etc etc.to the new stuff like woman with a broken
heart,firebird,and dont stop the carnival.you are definetly the most
underratted musician of the century.keep up the excellent work.see ya
in orange county california.
 
Richard Johnson   18/May/2000:14:01:26
Paul,

As I reflect on the Charlotte, NC show a couple of months ago, I
continue to be in awe of the performance. I am more in awe of the
tremendous songwriting that you and Rusty brought to the stage that
night and other times that I have seen Poco. My mind goes back to the
1970's at the old Charlotte Coliseum. Poco on the Rose of Cimmarron
tour...At the back of the stage is a huge banner with the same artwork
that graced the Poco Seven album. Rusty is playing banjo and steel,
Paul is blazing away on the White Falcon, Timmy and George are keeping
the rythym going. A magic night, especially when "Rose of Cimmarron" is
played. During an acoustic set, the four of you perform "Sagebrush
Serenade"...incredible! Paul, you and Rusty have brought to us some of
the greatest music to come from composers of the 20th century. I can't
thank you enough for all that you have done for me. I pop in a Poco cd,
and the world is suddenly a little brighter. Keep rocking and come back
to Charlotte so
 
Denny Werner   18/May/2000:04:25:38
Paul: Thanks for sharing your new music with us. A moving collection of
songs. In the sterile, superficial landscape of today's music scene,
it's great to see that talent and integrity still can prevail. Thanks
for enriching our lives and spirits. All the best to you and Poco in
your future musical endeavors.
 
Nickie Solomon   18/May/2000:02:07:21
PAUL, I RECEIVED YOUR SIGNED CD A WEEK AGO AND AM ADDICTED TO IT
ALREADY! I'VE RUSHED HOME FROM WORK EVERY NIGHT TO FILL MY MIND AND
SOUL WITH YOUR MUSIC. THANKS FOR SHARING YOURSELF WITH US PAUL
COTTON/POCO NUTS. IT IS SO GOOD TO HEAR YOUR SPECIAL SOUND AGAIN.
THIS ALBUM IS SO BEAUTIFUL IT ALMOST MAKES ME CRY. "YOU DONE GOOD!" MR.
COTTON,AND I KNOW LINDA IS SO VERY PROUD OF YOU AS ARE WE ALL. HERE'S
TO A SOARING FUTURE! I HOPE TO SEE YOU "LIVE AND IN PERSON" SOMEWHERE.
COME TO MINNESOTA PLEASE. NICKIE SOLOMON
 
Robert Charels The Official Robert Charels Web site 17/May/2000:21:22:35
Hey, all. I am really enjoying Firebird. Mr. Cotton, you just continue
to murder me--one of the finest songwriters and musicians of my
lifetime. I'm a recording artist myself, my new album is out nationally
now, yet I continue to be amazed by arists that I grew up listening to.
It's such a good feeling to know (no pun intended) that Paul Cotton is
back and contributing such vital music once again! Here's hoping the
proposed Poco new album comes to life as well. Congrats to everyone at
Futuredge for a very smart and what I hope will be a very prosperous
artist signing in Paul Cotton.

howard wize   15/May/2000:23:00:09
I just started to get into country rock music, and I'm loving it! when
I heard about the great Paul Cotton of Poco going solo, I got real
excited. Very good mix, especially Theres a River, Let the Wind Blow
and my favorite Do What You Do. Man, I'm ready for the next album
already. Paul's got some great musical writers on those songs. The
sound and words hit home for me, as it reminded me of my upbringing in
the south (south Brooklyn). Even us city folk have country in our
hearts, especially with the warm hearted words of these songs. Keep up
the good work and get yourself a strong P.R. person to get your music
out there. Thanks for the music and remember "Let the Wind Blow".

Hey Paul , thanks for the great music of "Firebird". I'am looking
forward to seeing you -&- Rusty at the Jeff. Co. state fair in Hillsboro
Mo. on 7-21-00. Hillsboro is very picturesqe "There's a River" -&-
beautiful hillsides that just seem to reach out "Accross a Painted
Sky".I'am going to "Ride the Country" to see you guys -&- I could care
less if they "Don't Stop the Carnival". I want to see -&- here you "Do
What You Do". Hopefully I can wade thru the crowd "All the Way to You"
to shake your hand -&- say thanks even though its been a while between
music releases you were never "Not Out of Mind"(?). July in Mo.can be
hot so I pray to God to just "Let the Wind Blow". but please no (you
guessed it)"Bad Weather".
P.S. I'am going to bring my wife because if I don't she's going to be
"A Women With a Broken Heart"
 
Dwight Whitney   15/May/2000:21:21:55
Yes, my copy finally arrived. In a small country town just outside of
Auckland, New Zealand. My daughter, seeing the parcel, thought it was
Christmas.

"Yes, in a way it is."

'Bad Weather' has always been medication for existential funks and the
like. This remake is hauntingly beautiful, pure and poignant.

Superb music from the head and the heart.....and what a great opening to
be able to tell the Poco story to friends Down Under.

Like everyone else, the smiles of nostalgia plus the satisfaction that
great talent and music transcends the years are immense.

Poco Live At Budokan....why not.

Just make sure that you plan to come down this way too.

Thanks from Godzone


Dwight
 
Jeannie   15/May/2000:05:56:16
A friend of mine gave me your Firebird CD and told me that I would love
it. I didn't really know anything about you or Poco. He is right, I
cannot stop playing it. Your songs are soulful and poetic. My favorite
is Not out of mind. I kept playing it over and over again... You have
some great musician playing with you on the CD!! Thanks for the
beautiful music.
 
DENNY STEVENSON   14/May/2000:00:42:40
I saw Poco about 3 mo.ago and Iam amazed that bands like Poco are not
looked on as the great and wonderful songsmiths they are.in Pauls new
cd Firebird is so beauiful and when you put it beside any current music
being done today you have to wonder what people listen to when there is
music like this being done by a master.Paul thank you and Rusty for
keeping the beauty that is POCO still alive. We are here and we will be
here when you go Back to the top.
 
steve tickes   12/May/2000:18:28:45

Paul and everyone involved with 'FIREBIRD':

asume!!!! it brings back great memories of

the POCO sound. One of my favorite songs is

'Across the painted sky',the begining guiter

riff is super.being a weekend guiter player i'm

going to give that one a shot In ending i'd just

like to say that the "album" is easily a 10!


your fan,Steve

P.S.Rusty,assume lap steel was that
your '33' rickenbacker?
 
pst staebel   11/May/2000:18:41:03
Paul listen to the "firebird" CD. It was great. It seems like old times
again. Looking forward to your visit to St. Louis in June. Many thanks
for all those great songs. Long live POCO, Said hello to Rusty for me.
POCO is just simply the best. Again thanks to you.

Joe Chambliss   10/May/2000:04:44:08
I'm presently listening to "A Good Feelin' To Know" and waiting for the

Paul Cotton. See you in Nashville.
 
Valerie Zona   10/May/2000:02:51:36

Great work. Thought I'd stop in and check out your web page. Keep up
the great work. Valerie (Zkat)
 
Mike Edmunds Poco Legacy 09/May/2000:23:07:37
I recieved the new CD this morning and played it over and over about
three or four times. My favourite cuts are 'Firebird', There's a river',
'Across a painted sky' and 'Let the wind blow'. It's a very earthy
album and sounds fresh and not over produced. Excellent job Paul.
 
Bill   09/May/2000:05:34:27
I first remember Poco when they opened for the Eagles in Roosevelt
Stadium in Jersey City, New Jersey. It must have been around 1973 or
so. I was about 18 at the time. I had never heard of Poco before that
and unfortunately didn't pay much attention to their set. I remember
someone sitting in front of me really getting into the music and I
couldn't relate to it. Boy, if I could go back in time! I started
getting into Poco sometime after that when I heard "A Good Feeling to
Know" and a DJ on WNEW-FM in New York said it was a great album. I've
been a huge fan since. I saw the reunion concert and Paul -&- Rusty a
couple of years ago. I'm especially a big fan of Paul's. I think his
work is outstanding! I have the new CD and it's great! I hope they come
to the New Jersey area during their tour. Looking forward to more new
music from Paul and Poco.
 
Dennis Sargent   08/May/2000:12:40:49
Hi Paul, it was well worth the wait. Like hearing from a long lost
friend. I'll do my part to make sure this disc is heard. I'm on staff
of a radio station here in New Jersey, WDVR-FM 89.7 and have a
Wednesday night program that features POCO/Family weekly. Thanks to
Futuredge for putting this music out. And it is music. Not the fluff,
pop, un-emotional, cookie-cutter junk that exists everywhere today.
Thank you Paul. Thank you Futuredge. Thank you for ths site. Thank you
to all the other fans, like myself, who get it. This music moves me
like no other.
Hey, check out www.wdvrfm.org on Wednesday nights at 10pm if you are
out of the central New Jersey area and want to hear some Paul/POCO on
the airwaves.
All the best. Take care.
Dennis
 
Allan Crummett   08/May/2000:04:01:56
Dear Paul: The only trouble with your last CD is that now I want
another. Man, you have taste. I never knew there were so many Poco
fans until I got on-line. For you recording companies out there: Sign
Poco up to do their next disc. This is the type of quality "stuff"
that needs a place in a disgusting market place. Please listen, this is
high quality stuff that comes from quality craftsmen and we need bands
who take their craft seriously. God Bless you Paul. I hope to see you
this summer. A 27 year fan, Allan W. Crummett, Licensed Psychologist

I just received my copy of Firebird. Lucky it's not vinyl because it
would be worn out already. It gets better -&- better with every
listening. I hope a Poco project comes out soon, make it a long cd, we
can never get enough Poco music. Thanks for the great
tunes.
Dave.

The new CD Firebird is great. I agree with the rest of the positive
comments I have read about it. The more listens you give it, the more
it grows on you. Some of the tunes certainly have the Poco flavor, but
the CD has its own uniqueness, too. Congratulations to Paul for the
fine job!

Hi Paul, We Received your new album (CD)"Firebird" and we just love it.
We Preordered this Two months ago and were like two little kids waiting
for X-mas! You have outdone yourself with this one. This is an awsome
collection of beautiful music. Great job and Your extra Session Players
like Rusty Young, Richard Neville, and the rest did a great job in
helping this become a sucess. (Just Jokeing about the session players).
But you absolutely deserve a whole bunch of credit for this. I hope to
see you and POCO in concert real soon. Thanks Again and keep on Riding
the wind With the Legend; Named POCO!!!. We love you guys. Chip and
Shawna.
