Poco

Poco, Academy of Music, New York City

I am not quite sure which version of Poco this image is from but my best guess is the 1973-1976 line-up which included:

Timothy B Schmit - Bass
Rusty Young - Pedal Steel, Dobro, Banjo
George Grantham - Drums, vocals
Paul Cotton - guitars, vocals

This photograph was taken at the Academy of Music in New York City.

I was lucky enough to be included in an article about Tour Managers in this months issue of Elmore Magazine. The link is below - note that the article starts on Page 12..It was written by a up and coming young music writer, Melissa Caruso...keep your eye out for her byline.....

New York Street Festival

New York Street Festival Photographer

Today's image from a New York Street Fair, circa 1975. When I first walked in to this slice of New York life the photographer was facing the two women seemingly ready to expose a Polaroid...Just as I was ready to click the shutter he turned and gave me the look......happy he did - makes the Minor White quote below all the more relevant...

'No Matter how slow the film, Spirit always stands still long enough for the photographer It has chosen'.......Minor White

Transferred to the digital world using an Imacon Scanner.... and thanks to my friend Jolene for some photoshop image management tips....these old negatives can be a bear....
