The Sir Doulas Quintet was really an American group. Sir Douglas was Doug Sahm who later became part of the Texas Tornados with Freddie Fender.

Damn Tex, yer right said on a regular basis
    Thinkin about them guys from Boston now that sung that song about frustrated womens an the dirty water.  

[Texas Lawdog]

Leo, I keep with Texas music and Texas musicans. I have been blessed with a remarkable memory for details and I have good retention.  Also, I've been around a long time.

[Lucky Irish Tom]

Also, I've been around a long time.

Yep, TLD probably has some of the original dirt from the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. 

[Texas Lawdog]

Yep, on the soles of my Harness Boots.

[Leo Tanner]

Tex, I'm really startin ta think I'm yer illegitimate son.
     I got that memory too, an sometimes it really freaks the wife out.  Wear harness boots as well.

Song I was referrin to earlier was from the Standells.  Aint Texas music, but good stuff.


Leo

[Texas Lawdog]

We have been fortunate to have some great musicans from Texas. The types of music goes from one end of the spectrum to the other. For the most part, I like it all.

[Leo Tanner]

This is what I were talkin about.



I always have wanted a Gibson 335 in cherry finish.  I'll have ta win the lottery ta get one.  It's one a them wish list things.


Leo

[Texas Lawdog]

I never played the guitar, always wanted to learn how though. I love guitar music, Roy Clark, SRV, Carlos Santana, Willie, Junior Brown, Dick Dale, and the Ventures.

[Leo Tanner]

With tableture ya can learn quick.  Used ta be a bunch of sites that had thousands of songs, but they all got shut down over copywrite infringement.
     Tab is a method of notation that just shows you what string and what fret ta hit throughout the song using numbers.  Now that ya got some time on yer hands, mebbe ya should pick up a cheap acoustic an give it a try.  I have tons of tab that I'd be happy ta send ya.

PS
     Sounds ta me like your a Stratocaster man, other than Carlos, who played the Gibson.


Leo

[Lucky Irish Tom]

I'd be interested in some of those tabs Leo!

Haven't picked up my git fiddle in years, probably make my fingers bleed till I built up some callous again.

[litl rooster]

     Sounds ta me like your a Stratocaster man, other than Carlos, who played the Gibson.


Leo

You mean there is another type of guitar

[Lucky Irish Tom]

This just seemed to fit at this point.

I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played 'til my fingers bled
It was summer of '69

Me and some guys from school
Had a Band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
I shoulda known we'd never get far

Oh when I look back now
That seems to last forever
And if I had the choice
Ya - I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life

(CHORUS)

Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenin's down at the drive in
And that's when I met you

Standin on a mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was no or never
Those were the best days of my life

(Chorus) Back in Summer of '69

Man we were killin' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin' can last forever, no

And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone
Somethimes when I play that old six-string
I think about ya wonder what went wrong

Standin' on a mama's porch
You told me it would last forever
Oh the way you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life

(Chorus) Back in summer of '69

[Texas Lawdog]

Willie plays a Martin, "Trigger".

[Ozark Tracker]

looks like it may be hard ta get a band together  with no more practicing than we're doing,  may just have to make it a jug band. 

I see they are having tryout for the local festival here.   http://www.oleapplegateplace.com/musiclineup.asp

[Texas Lawdog]

OT, I'm versitile, I can play the jug and the washboard.

[Leo Tanner]

I do pretty well with a piece of wax paper and a comb

     Irish, I'll PM ya the stuff I got and then scan an email ya the pages.  Fer alot of the stuff I have, it's good ta have practice at Travis picking.  I was obsessed with it fer awhile.


Leo

[Texas Lawdog]

OT, I got a new pair of overalls, a new red undershirt, a new pair of brogans, and a slouch hat. I'm ready to play.

[Leo Tanner]

With enough practice we can be ready fer the Founde'rs Day parade here in CAS City. 
Got me a new comb that don't have the teeth all clogged up with ma hair yet.  She plays like a Stratovarious


Leo

[Lucky Irish Tom]

Arcey would probably be good with a wind instrument!
