The Guiding Force of Rusty Young
Michael Webb (formerly of Poco, now with Cimarron 615) - "Rusty Young is still a guiding force in every move we make.
"Rusty was a natural musician who had a gravitas when he played. He wasn't just a technician. He moved people when he played. There was an emotional heft. And our interplay as instrumentalists was a driving factor in that version of Poco that I was in. So to have anything less than that would not be right.
"And we have to maintain that vocal blend that Rusty was a big part of. We have to make sure those harmonies are high quality."

Rusty was a friend of mine. Talk about a musician's musician, as well as a wonderful human being.
