Comment on Willin’: LA’s Country-Rock Origins by Michael D Clark

In reply to Oddy. Poco. Absolutely. One of the best and most popular touring bands of the early 70's. Jim Messina's Telecaster picking was easily equal to that of Clarence White, but he gets little credit. Rusty Young's pedal steel work was impeccable whether playing it clean or through a Leslie speaker or with an overdrive pedal. Richie Furay's voice is still one of the best in the business. And their rythym section of Tim Schmidt and George Grantham was as tight as, well, a drum. When Paul Cotton replaced Messina, they lost a bit of their bluegrass inspired instrumental prowess, but still delivered excellent country-rock. Through multiple changes in personnel, with Rusty at the helm Poco continued to produce great music until his passing last year. Over 50 years of excellence with millions of ardent fans, yet they've been ignored by the powers that be. I don't understand it.

Comment on Get It Low: The Dirty Guitar of Junior Barnard by Steven J. Heimel

I was listening to the Tiffany “Cherokee Maiden” for maybe the twentieth time and that Junior Barnard solo started and I couldn’t believe my ears it was so audacious, pretty much out of the be-bop of the era, especially the addition of the hootchy kootchy riff.

Thank you for posting the video on Don Ulrich. I produced it in 2009 to honor him as a distinguished alumnus from Olympia High School, where I serve as president of the alumni association. Don’s wife Marlane, and sons Vic and Vance were all on hand for the award and watched the video debut in the auditorium big screen. I didn’t know anything about Don before his nomination, but have been a big fan ever since. Again, thank you for sharing this story about Don. And yes, CMA should be inducting him.

Really enjoyed this write-up – I know the albums after this one pretty well, but have not spent enough time with The Muffs’ debut. You’ve inspired me to change that – thanks!

Just reading this now in January, 2022. The video is unavailable unfortunately, but the article is so moving. Such a moving tribute to Phil. Now Don is gone too.

Thank you so much for making this article. All those art-giants performing on the same scene! Roger Miller performs on of his best and lesser known songs, Leavin’s not the only way to go.

There’s another version of this song performed in a TV-show with Bobby Bare, it’s on YouTube. I just wanted to asked if you have the entire TV show episode as well? As mentioned, only the performance of that song is available on YouTube.

Best regards.

Mr. Bungle show, so great!

I “worked” at KCSC and was lucky enough to drive Mike Watt from sound check at HJ to the station for an interview. He was the super cool big brother you never had. I think he was a bit taken aback by how excited everyone was to talk to him, yet he was so up for it. Somebody who loved music as much as we all did. That was a good day.

In reply to Lance Davis. We both have made the world a litter better.
