February 5 – Wednesday – Poco – The Very Best of Poco – Pt 2

I put on side four first before side three, as something about the title “And Settlin’ Down” sounded familiar, like maybe it was the other song I bought this album set for. But, it was merely familiar. I couldn’t find another tolerable side to combine with more than tolerable side one, so Poco is not even going to make it to the end of the list of Ram alternatives. Frankly, I doubt it will ever make an appearance again. I know it’s sad, but it’s too high-pitched and too twangy. As we get older and wiser, we try to overcome our prejudices. I’ve had more small ones than ones of any consequence, but I think I’ve done pretty well over the years. But some, well like my bias against Poco, remain intact. Whatever happens in the end, I don’t think I’ll be judged on whether I could learn to like Poco or not. Wouldn’t it be funny if I was?

Instead of adding the album cover again to this post, I am treating you all to a rather handsome photo of Max, taken by someone much more talented with a camera than I. Max was very helpful during tonight’s workout and deserves some recognition.
