NOVEMBER 18 1968 November 18 An L.A. based quartet made up of Randy Meisner, Jim Messina, Richie Furay and Rusty Young, who called themselves Pogo, debuted at The Troubadour. After building up an local following, they would be forced to change their moniker, which they had openly pilfered from Walt Kellys comic strip of the same name, when Kelly filed suit. They settled on Poco because it sounded like the original name that fans had come to know. The Southern California country rock band originally formed following the demise of Buffalo Springfield in 1968. The title of their first album, Pickin Up the Pieces, is a reference to the break-up of Buffalo Springfield.
