Doobie to maybe play that song that fans have always wanted to hear live.  I mean, we've had some of the "CLASSICS" played in recent years..."Nobody", "Clear as the Drive Snow", "Eyes of Silver", "Rainy Day Cross Road Blues", "Sweet Maxine", etc...are there any songs we can add to that list? Mine?  Another Park & Neal's Fandango... Ya never know, this just might work...but, then again, probably not...but ya never know...
