POCO In 1968, with Buffalo Springfield in disarray, Richie Furay and Jim Messina set about assembling a band of their own. They recruited pedal steel guitarist Rusty Young and drummer George Grantham from Böenzee Cryque, a Denver-based band. Poco made its reputation as a top-notch, exciting live act; following personnel changes, the band members—Furay, Young, Grantham, Timothy B. Schmit (later of the Eagles) and guitarist Paul Cotton—moved to Colorado in 1971. Furay wrote one of Poco’s most distinctive compositions, “A Good Feeling To Know,” before departing the band. Poco plugged on, cracking the top of the charts with Legend, its 12th studio album. Furay, Young, Cotton, Schmit and Grantham will perform at the CMHOF event.
