The Doobies...dreams do come true...
Several days ago I wrote here about my excitement that The Doobie Brothers were coming to town for a benefit concert. Since then things have happened that lift my level of excitement until it knows no bounds!
While catching up on the history of the band I reviewed The Doobies website. Deep within I found a contact email address which cheerfully stated that, "We try and respond to all mail". So I thought that I would drop an electronic note to them, telling them that I was a veteran and expressing my appreciation for all the good music over the years and for their aid and assistance to veterans organizations.
Last night I found out that they do indeed answer their email. I received the following email...
My response, of course, in so many words was, "Hell Yes, I worship the very ground you walk on...thank you, thank you!"
And so Cris wrote back.....
Cris is the wife of Pat Simmons, lead guitarist. Pat and Tom Johnson are the two original founders of the Doobies and have been the heart, soul and continuing musical talent that has kept the band alive and well. Needless to say, I await June 23rd in breathless anticipation!

Would you like two passes to the backstage Meet & Greet after this show? We can't give you tickets, but we can offer these (which you can't buy!).
Thanks,
Cris Simmons, for the Doobies

We will leave your 2 backstage passes, in your name, at the Box Office, or Will Call in some cases. Pick them up before the show. Then, right after the show ask security where you should go. See you there!
