One of the prettiest songs ever written, and composed by a duo whose star charts ( a Capricorn 2 and a Saggittarius 2) say their pooled efforts would result in new concepts and lucrative inspired ideas. Well star gazers and followers alike, you may be on to something, because their music has inspired many and their record contracts and live tours have been very lucrative. And their music and harmonies have been heavenly. But it wasnt all that easy.The trouble with duos is inevitably it becomes a competition,” explains Loggins. “We were just kids in search of our individuality. Being suddenly cast in a duo makes it very hard to find yourself. You begin to blame your partner for your own confusion. And everybody wants to get on your good side by convincing you that your partner is the problem.” And after they both followed solo careers, theyre now back touring and recording. Looking back on those early days, Jimmy Messina explains “Today, it is a big relief knowing that Kenny no longer needs to look to me as the one who is in charge with all the answers. As Kenny noted earlier, in the beginning I was ‘the leader’ while Kenny was the artist who’d never made a record or put a band together. Now, with Kenny’s many years of success as a solo artist and a leader, he brings to our working relationship, a maturity that allows us to work, and lead together, as equal partners contributing ideas or suggestions that are only exercised and implemented with respect and mutual approval. I enjoy being the artist now without all the responsibilities that once fell heavy upon my shoulders. I’m very excited about playing our music, listening to our arrangements and pulling out some of the old instruments of mine and recapturing the nuances inside my guitar style that characterized the sounds we created together.”
