[@gerrygreene6354]

Richie is a good interview.

[@thomasrobertson9643]

He’s a story teller

[@alanschneiderjudylohrer5690]

Very simple He is just a great guy Seems different then your typical rock star. And he is a star

[@DougMen1]

Poco is one of my favorite bands of all time, in all its incarnations, and i loved Richie's first three solo albums- I've Got a Reason, Dance a Little Light, and I Still Have Dreams.

[@groverbaker6404]

Kind woman!! Top 3 buffalo tunes..mr.soul..for what it's worth...kind woman!! Love Richie

[@chrisschrecker5497]

Love Richie’s honesty and integrity. It’s reflected in both his music from the past as well as his current stuff. Looking forward to seeing his documentary that’s been in the works for awhile.

[@vipergg9159]

RIP Rusty Young and Paul Cotton . Thank you both for all the great music. Sad that Poco is now done . . ..

5:30 - It was 1970. My best friend in high school spotted Furay's gift shop in Yellow Springs while out exploring the world with his first car. Knowing me as a Poco fan he offered to take me there from my folks house in Dayton - about 20 minutes. Even though I was a teenager with hardly any money, the woman behind the register (about my mom's age, maybe Richie's aunt?) was delighted at my visit. I emerged feeling pretty special, with news that Richie was recently home for a short time, and exhausted from touring. She also suggested a nice denim jacket she had to go with my jeans. As for Dave Chappelle, he's very well-regarded these days for important things he's done for Yellow Springs and Dayton.

I grew up in yellow springs ohio, i went into furays variety store, also delivered early morning newspaper to furays house, my dad tought art at antioch.I was collecting for newspapers and richie was listening to the beatles white album

[@alanthompson3493]

Poco was originally called Pogo. I remember seeing their first album in a record store with the name Pogo on it, I recognized Richie from Buffalo Springfield. Not long after that I heard they were forced to change the name to Poco because of threats of legal action involving the comic strip Pogo. All those albums had to be pulled from the stores and redesigned with the new name Poco. I wish I had bought one of the 'Pogo" albums that day, that would be a collector's item for sure. That's the story I read, it would have been interesting to hear Richie's thoughts on that weird name change for the band.

[@johniorio7951]

I remember pogo from the old national lampoon....they became the smurfs in the 90's...did you know that hot tuna was originally called "hot shit"??? ..... alittle old time rock and roll trivia!!!!

[@petersuson7958]

Poco sounds better to me.

[@sbearly]

I had the first album (and every subsequent album/CD) and it said "Poco". I think the name change happened prior to the album coming out.

[@stephenshaw5659]

Love it! Love Poco! Love everything you do. Thank you for your service of keeping rock history alive. My name is George Shaw and I live in Farmington, Missouri, hometown to Dan Peek. I went to school with his younger brother David and was wondering what your connection was with America? Thanking you in advance, George S. Shaw

[@jeffthepoet7]

Good feeling to know this interview. Keep rockin' the history.

[@ltejle]

Really enjoyed this, I love hearing about those days, it was such a fantastic time with so many fabulous musicians!

[@blazeeisner9620]

Brother John! I like the others are really enjoying this. Have a great Wednesday! God bless.

Brilliant!!!!!

My man, Ritchie from Yellow Springs Ohio my former hometown.

John, You should be interviewing Brad Paisley with that jacket you're wearing in the intro!

[@gerrygreene6354]

FYI. Richie is Buffalo Springfield s lead vocalist.

[@chuckbob49]

To be fair, Buffalo Springfield had 3 lead vocalists. Richie, Neil Young, and Stephen Stills all sang lead, primarily on the songs they wrote.

[@rjb7569]

@@chuckbob49 I think Richie sang one or two of Neil's.

[@jojijoandjim7465]

One of.... Stephen and Neil did as much if not more
