"Tend My Garden" now. Could be a 60s "back to the land" cliché, but again, it has a playfulness and good humor about it that's really charming.

He's done a lot, but I still think this the best thing Joe has ever been a part of.

Rusty Young’s pedal steel s nice too. He was my favorite part of Poco.
This is not the year to think about what we don’t have.
It is the year we should be grateful for what we do have.
