S. FL report...

[Scott Chapman]

as my head is spinning and ears are throbbing, The Brothers absolutely rocked the house last night. They blazed through some of the greatest rock ever done on stage. The whole place was on their feet half way through the show.   And the venue was awesome! The Kravis Center, a theater for the performing arts, acoustically perfect and not a bad seat in the house.   But then I lost my Doobie virginity. Got to go back after the show and meet the Brothers. I held up pretty well...UNTIL...there's Tommy, just kinda standing in a doorway, chilling out, so I walk up to him and say hi (I forgot the B'day), and he say's "What's up?". I went speechless. I said..."uuuhhhh, speechless as usual"....(is this normal behavior when doing this for the first time?)   It was so cool meeting all the Bro's, John, Mike, Keith, Tommy...but where's Pat? I know Skylark left already, but where's Pat? I leave thinking somehow I missed him, but just as I go out the back door, there he is!!! gracious as ever to sign an autograph and have a picture taken. I don't smoke, but I felt as though I should have had one then...   It was the best evening I could have ever asked for. The only thing missing was Barbara, still recouping from the new hip, but doing great!   Wishing a safe trip to all going to Saratoga. I'll see you there next year...   Scott
