woke up this morning and had a song running through what few brain cells I have left...Dark Eyed Cajun Woman

I had forgotten how many acoustic overdubs they did on this track - I think it was 4 but this is one of those songs that just takes me back



[B] Against ALL enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC

Love the early Doobie Bros. In fact, I love all incarnations of the Doobie Bros. I've seen them several times, but two of my favorites were when they toured with Chicago.

Great tune and great album.

South City Midnight Lady is probably my favorite from that album though. Interesting and fun one to learn to play.

Saw them many moons ago with Michael McDonald and just recently this year with Tom Johnston and crew.
Probably one of the best bands still not in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame, yet.

Cool

Dark Eyed Cajun Woman was a staple in a cover band I played in back in the early 80's. I've forgotten how to play hundreds of other songs, but that one is burned in my long term memory.

I still own a '78 Gibson ES-335 because I liked Patrick Simmon's.

China Grove, and Long Train Runnin' are two of my most favorite of all time. I'm a big fan of Tom Johnston.

Mine came with a trapeze style tail piece, and, being young and stupid, I had it modified. It now has a Gibson TP-6 fine tuning stop tail piece. The work was well done, and I prefer the way it plays now, but from a collectables standpoint, well .....

It is a rare wine red color, not the red red, which I love. Though, if I had my druthers it would be a mid 60's blond dot neck, though.

Thinking about it, at one time or another we played several Doobie tunes, and I believe I could also fake my way through China Grove, Listen to the Music, and Rocking Down the Highway if I had to. I always meant to learn South City Midnight Lady, but other than a couple of riffs, never really got around it.

Love the Doobies. Black Water is a fine soulful song that I always enjoy.
