Timothy B. Schmit
Timothy Bruce Schmit (born October 30, 1947) is an American musician, singer, and songwriter, best known for his work as the bass guitar player and singer for Poco and the Eagles. Schmit has also worked for decades as a session musician and solo artist. In 1998, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Eagles, the first year they were nominated.
Early career
Schmit was born in Oakland, California. He was raised in Sacramento, and began playing in the folk music group Tim, Tom & Ron at the age of 15. That group evolved into a surf band called the Contenders, then changed its name to the New Breed (sometimes known simply as "the Breed"). As the New Breed, they had one big radio hit: the Animals-inspired "Green Eyed Woman," which was released 1965. Changing its name once again to Glad, the group recorded the album Feelin' Glad in 1968.
In 1968, Schmit auditioned for Poco but was turned down in favor of founding member Randy Meisner. When Meisner quit the band in 1970, Schmit replaced him on bass and lead vocals. He wrote and was the lead singer on the song "Keep on Tryin'," Poco's biggest hit single to that point, peaking at #50 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1975. Apart from Poco, Schmit also contributed vocals to Firefall's 1977 hit, "Just Remember I Love You."

I GUESS WE'LL GO ON LIVING
by: Timothy B. Schmit(t. b. schmit/w. jennings/b. gaitsch)
Seems like these days love's a dangerous thing
Is it a gift or curse that you bring?
Oh love...so many dreams will die
But I go on with all the hope in my heart
Though I know life can just tear me apart
Funny old road and I know it will bend
Maybe rainbows shining there at the end
I know a girl who just gave it away
She says it's hard when there's no one who'll stay
These days...oh I have heard her cry
But she writes songs about the way that she feels
And I hear them and I believe they are real
She is so strong that I feel it in me
And she's right there where she always will be
I guess we'll go on living
Give it all 'til it all starts giving
Walk through this pain and sorrow
Just to feel one more tomorrow
I guess we'll go on living
Oh lovers who gave life to me
I hope they're all happy as they can be
Oh how the years go by
There's a sweet wind blowing out of the west
So I breathe in and know I'm still blessed
I never know what the next day will be
But I'll get up just so I can see
While there is music inside you and me
