About "Poor Boy Blues"  <br />
Written by band member Rick Walton <br />
Nearly 50 years ago on a night when Rick was feeling alone, unloved, and generally sorry for himself, he began messing around on his guitar, trying licks stolen from James Taylor and Crosby, Stills, and Nash. First came the chorus, loosely based on a line from “Hey Mister, That’s Me Upon the Jukebox.” And then came the verses describing the life of a sailor, a failed marriage, and the poor boy’s view of his unhappiness. So, let the poor boy sing another sad song!  <br />
<br />
