Poco's 'Nothing to Hide' was a song written by one of the Marx Brothers. We all know Zeppo, Chico, Harpo, Groucho and Gummo, but this was the youngest of the Marx clan - Rico Marx.
My favorite Poco song was this one.
For a long time, I would get Poco and Pure Prairie League mixed up (depending on my alcohol content at the time). PPL is a Cincinnati-area band (Actually Waverly. but who's quibbling?).

You are one funny guy, tdave. You keep me in stitches.
PUTP was POCO's debut album. Meisner played on the album but left the band just before its release in '69.

Richie Furay of Poco was from Yellow Springs. Poco played a show there in the spring of 1971 on the Antioch golf course. I was supposed to go but got too drunk the night before and was massively hungover.
Well, when you're sitting back in your rose pink Cadillac
Making bets on Kentucky Derby Day
1971 is when I made by first trip to Cincinnati(first Reds game). I was only 8 at the time, so I was too young to care about POCO and not old enough to be drunk yet. lol About seven years later, though, I would have loved to have seen POCO. Liked 'em a lot in the late 70's/ early '80s.

174 The band, POCO , formed in 1968 from the ashes of Buffalo Springfield, and originally had a different name. The band debuted at the Troubadour in '68 under the original band name.
But the band was threatened with a lawsuit from cartoonist Walt Kelly regarding intellectual property infringement(the name of one of his cartoon characters). To avoid a lawsuit, Furay and Messina changed the name slightly to POCO, which is Spanish for "little" or "small." The name change was seen as a nod to musical terminology(meaning small or gradual change). Btw, before they settled on POCO, the band briefly performed under the name "R.F.D." (Rural Free Delivery) .
What was the original name of POCO ?

POCO was originally known as POGO, but they were forced to change the name to avoid a lawsuit threatened by Walt Kelly, creator of comic strip characters, including an oppossum named POGO..

I am sure of the first two:
Take It Easy - Eagles
Smoky Mountain Rain - Ronnie Milsap
I will go with Bob Seger’s Roll Me Away for number three.

a.
Well I'm a-standin' on the corner in winslow, arizona
With such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my lord, in a flatbed ford
Slowin' down to take a look at me
b.
I waved a diesel down outside a cafe'
He said that he was goin' as far as Gatlinburg
I climbed up in the cab all wet and cold and lonely
I wiped my eyes and told him about her
c.
Twelve hours out of Mackinaw City
Stopped in a bar to have a brew
Met a girl and we had a few drinks
And I told her what I'd decided to do

Jackson Browne wrote 'Take It Easy'.
Why Jackson Browne Gifted The Eagles’ a Smash Hit
In a 2003 interview with Uncool, Don Henley and Glenn Frey divulged why and how Browne gave up the song. In short, Jackson Browne simply suffered from a massive case of writer’s block. Though, when Henley and Frey came into the picture, the ideas started sprouting like wildflowers. Henley recalled in his interview, “Jackson had shelved ‘Take It Easy’ because he couldn’t complete it, but it was Glenn who remembered the song from some time earlier and asked Jackson about it one day.” Frey continued, “I told him that I really liked it” and “He started playing it for me and said, ‘Yeah, but I don’t know — I’m stuck.’ So he played the second unfinished verse and I said, ‘It’s a girl, my lord, in a flatbed Ford, slowin’ down to take a look at me.’” “That was my contribution to ‘Take It Easy,’ really, just finishing the second verse. Jackson was so thrilled. He said, ‘OK! We co-wrote this,’” concluded Glenn Frey. Thanks to Browne’s selflessness as well as Frey and Henley’s willingness, the Eagles scored one of the biggest hits of their career. Following its 1972 release, “Take It Easy” peaked at No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and remained there for 11 weeks.

I considered that as a trivia question but I knew you would have that one quicker than a Winslow minute. LOL

176. Folklore has it that this band's name came about because of very hot Hemi-powered '67 Plymouth GTX that cruised and raced around Detroit back in the day when Gratiot and Woodward Avenues were dominated by street racers. Word is, to this day that grey GTX has never been beaten . I mean , what else would a bunch of Motor City rockers who worked in an auto assembly plant name their band after...right?
Truth is, the name came about as a result of the guys in the band arguing over band names and simply not being able to come a decision on a name. Finally, the band's manager got tired of the arguing and indecisiveness over not being able to arrive at a name so he made one up. When it came time for the guys to be paid, there it was written on their paychecks- the name he had come up with for the band. It stuck. Boy, did it ever!!!
What's the band name?

I have a picture of my family and myself standing on a corner next to a sign that reads Winslow, Arizona. Just like a million other people.
