Poco-Reunion
At the third annual STAGECOACH Country Music Festival in Indio, Calif., the southern rock band, Poco, reunited on stage for the first time since 1989.  

All of the original members of the band were there as well as the current members of the band. All on stage together were Rusty Young, Paul Cotton, Grantham, Timothy B. Schmitt (The Eagles), Richie Furay (Buffalo Springfield) and Jim Messina (Loggins & Messina), as well as Jack Sundrud and George Lawrence, who are in the band now.

Their performance left many in awe of the talent and influence these musicians had on other southern rock bands. Some are even wondering why Madonna is being considered for the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame, but not Poco.  

After a successful reunion at STAGECOACH two weekends ago, Young says that he hopes they can all do it again sometime.
