I was never a big fan either but I agree with what you are saying.

When bray came to visit me for a listening session, he brought along some Doobie Bros. and some of the tunes just floored me because: 1. it was great musicianship and 2. there were some tunes that were out of character (in my mind) of the Doobies that I didn't expect from them. Good stuff.

I live the life I love and I love the life I live.
