    Tim's stated quite plainly that he's not interested in Poco reunions. He only did the last one to help George Grantham's rehabilitation.

    He didn't even return to Poco during the eighties when he was openly hustling for work.

    After the things I've read about Poco, Don Felder can count himself very lucky that he hooked Glenn and Don rather than Jimmy and Ritchie.

    That's the first time I've heard someone describe Tim's playing as merely "adequate." His playing is definitely more understated than some - he's never done anything like Randy's elaborate, driving bass solo in "Outlaw Man" - but it's certainly more than "adequate"!

    Yes, I absolutely agree.

    I guess Glenn and Don must have been pleased, as well. That's as good a reference as Tim will ever need.

    (As I've already implied, I think that whole piece of commentary from Mr. Young sounds like sour grapes from a long time ago.)

    Perhaps he was merely "adequate" when he was 20. Like anyone else in any endeavor, he obviously progressed with experience, working with professionals every day.

    The fact that the Eagles wanted him, and was the only option in Glenn's opinion, makes anyone who tries to put down his skills look ridiculous.

    Honestly, when you look like that and sing like that, and if you can handle all of the politics and pressures, being adequate on your instrument is probably enough to be successful!!!!!

    He does make the top 100 lists of all time best rock bass players, so whatever.

    Completely agreed. As cute as Tim is, the Eagles didn't hire him for his looks.

    In the Desperados book, there's a comment from Ritchie Furay that he was probably closer to Tim than he was to anyone else in the band. It seems like they're still in touch, as Furay's current manager said that Ritchie had called Tim when he heard the news about Glenn.

    You know what's weird though? (well, I thought it was weird)
    The Furays named their first-born child Timmie. She was born circa 1970. Richie never says that the baby was named after Timothy Schmit. He doesn't even talk about Tim all that much, though he makes it pretty clear that he liked Tim better than Randy and thought he fit well into the Poco family ambience, unlike Mr. Meisner who was aloof and a bit different.
