No Lori that was not boring. As a matter
of fact the part about people not knowing about the new CD is universal. I
believe that if you took a poll, even if the majority were Doobie Brothers music
fans they would not know about "Sibling Rivalry". This CD, in my humble opinion,
is a work of true dedication and love this band has for each other and the music
they have dedicated there lives to and it's shameful that little or no attention
has been given to it by the record label, DJ's etc. across the country and maybe
it will be for us to do.
So with that in mind how do we as fans
promote what others have not done up until this point.
Suggestions
anyone?

Subject: Doobies in PT
Today I was in physical therapy on ice
with those little electric probe things sticking on me. I was on
Vicodin and just starting to dose, trying to forget about the pain of the
ice and the electrical treatment and all of a sudden the lady next to me
on the other side of the curtain started talking about the Doobie Brothers
to the guy that was helping her with her PT. My eyes popped open and
I started to eavesdrop. This guy, I was assuming was probably in his
early 20s BTW. Anyway, they were talking about how they just love
the sound of the Doobie Brothers and the guy said "I know they are playing
in town very soon but, I can't remember where." Of course that's
when I had to pop into the conversation and tell them that they were going
to be at the Canyon Dinner Theater (which happened to be very close to the
hospital I was at). The lady then started to rave about the Doobies
and I mentioned the Fan Club to them. The lady said well, I'm a
little old for fan clubs and I said that nobody is too old to join.
She told me she was 65 years old. That's just mature to
me, not old. Old is 90 I said, she laughed. I asked if she had
bought the SR CD and she said that she hadn't heard of it. I told
her about it and she said that she was going to go buy it as soon as she
got out of PT and that she was going to also buy tickets for the show in
Agoura. I know this was a boring story but, I thought I would share
it anyway.
So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Have a
Doobieful Day!
