Great song, loved it on my transistor radio as a ten-year-old.
The Lovin’ Spoonful, like Buffalo Springfield, was a proto-band from which greater things were spawned.
Poco was another HUGELY underrated band - a part of the SoCal country Rock scene of the early 70s.
I was a 19 y/o kid from Ohio who moved to LA/Hollywood and still recall the Troubadour Club was a short 10 minute drive from front door. Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Browne, Frey/Henley - so many performed at that club.
btw, I’ve been a longtime fan of your cousin Dan’s band, too.
