Good story Gina. Tommy is awesome! I have never met him but I hope to in
Saratoga. Now if I could only talk him into singing Another Park Another
Sunday, and Pat to sing South City Midnight Lady (if only a few words) I
would be in heaven.
Attn musicians: Have you picked a few songs to play for us? It would be
cool if you all played some of the stuff the band won't be playing in
concert, then we can hear the Doobie tunes on stage and off.
Take care,
Helen

of the elusive and majestic Tommy Johnston whooshing past me in the hotel
casino will stay indelibly printed on my memory forever. I wasn't as
awe-struck by the Doobies as much as I had thought I'd be. They were warm
and earthy but,Tommy was the exception. Clad in a metalic blue shirt,
butt-tight jeans, leather boots and stamped with tattoos, TJ strode
confidently and aerodynamically through a crowd of us waiting to go into the
Orleans theatre. He walked with a sense of urgency and purpose and gazed at
no one. (maybe he had to tinkle!!! hee hee) More than likely, he was trying
to avoid nuts like me. I still remember that breeze he created. I heard
someone say, "hey TJ!!" He gave a slight nod of acknowledgement and an
economical smile before disappearing into the blackness of the theatre, only
to be seen again on stage strutting, crowing and making magical noises with
his axe. During the encore, he !

pack of wild animals. Fans scrambled for the plastic tokens from the Chunka
Chunka King. And me? I maintained a dignified pose and studied the rock
star with wide-eyed wonderment and a smile. Aaahhh...rock-n-roll royalty.
It still exists.
