>Dear Members....The undeniable benefit of living in the Bay Area just came
>to pass....while getting ready for work this morning the local Fox
>affiliate, KTVU, had a piece about the Doobie Brothers with the founding
>member Tom Johnston being interviewed by Mark Pitta...there were about
>three short segments in between the morning news, etc....Tommy was
>promoting a fundraiser open to the public which will occur this Thursday
>for St. Mark's School...hoping to produce funds for a gym for the school.
>The CD, Sibling Rivalry, was also promoted (and shown on camera) and Tommy
>performed People Gotta Love Again, LTTM, LTR, and Dock of the Bay. This
>interview took place at the Tiburon Ferry Terminal. Tommy accompanied
>himself on acoustic guitar and only excerpts of the songs were
>broadcasted...though LTR got more air time. Mark Pitta even got Tommy to
>do Dock of the Bay. (Tommy was funny by saying the words will be
>interesting. Tommy stood up by the railing to do this song and Mark Pit!
>!
>ta joined him for this very shor
>t segment.) During the interview Tommy mentioned how they just returned
>last night from Chicago and talked about traveling by bus from about 3 or
>places. He had a good set of bags under his eyes but played and sang well
>for an outdoor setting (not studio quality but still good). He sat on a
>park bench with the interviewer while his family (wife and two kids) were
>in the background sitting on an adjoining bench. The interview was light
>hearted mentioning how in the past the band traveled by plane cutting down
>on travel time (even interjected about the two planes and one burning) but
>that the part of tour they just returned from was bussed. He liked
>traveling by plane because he could sleep in and arrive at 12 and take off.
>Mark Pitta sang with Tommy on the chorus of LTTM and his studio anchors
>rated him by holding up cards..needless to say they razzed him and gave him
>very low scores. This was the most I have ever seen Tommy talk. He seemed
>at ease (or faking it pretty good i!
>!
>f he wasn't). Glad I could pass
>this along to all of you.
>
>What a great way to start the day!!! Now on to Konocti this Saturday.
