I want to thank the original band members who helped make a great memory for me....I was in 9th grade and maybe 14 or 15 when the Sir Douglas Quintet played at The Rocking Castle in Boise, Idaho in the 60's. She's About a Mover was on the charts, and I was nuts about the song! The dances that were popular at the time were the "skate", and the "Jerk". I finagled my way backstage to meet the band and was welcomed. I was a starry-eyed teen and was smitten with the SDQ! They were very gentlemanly with me. I was able to engage with Doug and a few other band members. I was a budding musician/ keyboardist, and had just acquired a Vox keyboard, just like the one they used on "She's About A Mover". I played by ear and learned organ riffs with ease...and I was thrilled to get tips on playing it. I am still playing, but on a Korg Trinity...best synth ever! Heaven would be to relive nights like that one. And thanks to the "newer" band members who keep the music alive and true to form.! God Bless!
I remember my dad's friend playing these guys and Freddie Fender while working on his '56 Ford in the backyard and thinking this was the coolest band I had ever heard!! I still play them on a daily basis! Great music only comes around once in a lifetime! Thank you for sharing!!
What a great band! It ended way too soon. The innovator, Doug Sahm, as well as all the musical collaborations he was involved in, are unique and missed so much. Hi daughter. Your dad is remembered with respect and love. Take care.
The first time I ever went to a concert was in 1965 when I was 15. The headliners were the Sir Douglas Quintet and Little Richard - what an ass-kickin' that was!
My dad worked at a music store from the mid60s to the 70s and he brought home a lot of promotional albums, and we had one of Mendocino. He used to play it once in a while but he worked a lot and even when I was home with my mom at eight years old I was putting the album on because it just sounded so groovy to me. This song is my favorite of theirs. What an awesome performance, Doug never lost that booming voice
they were a great live group..saw them a couple of times and was never disappointed, even the time Flaco was really wasted..i mean REALLY wasted..didn't matter much..
Play that song in any bar in America and you will get the Dance Floor packed in no time flat !! that is a real a real dancer!.... wooly...sloopy. loie loue.... people really love those songs with great back beat and a cheesy soundin organ!!!......its FUN!!
Big fan of these guys…Doug was living in my old home town for a few years in the ‘80’s, while recording with Stony Plain Records. We caught him at a local venue with the Formerly Brothers; Doug, Amos Garrett & Larry Taylor. Doug was also a surprise guest for Bob Dylan’s encore, including the opening, Tracy Chapman. Early ‘90’s, saw both Augie & Larry, backing John Hammond on his Wicked Grin Tour. Flaco’s an especially gifted virtuoso & favourite of mine. ❤
Doug Song amazing man from childhood just passing did a great wonderful joy to people he is a gift from God God bless but he still lives on right on mystery Doug
I saw The Sir Douglas Quintet playing this one on TV, probably about '65. The British Invasion was the big thing. The MC asked Doug how long they'd been in the U.S. Of course Doug said, all his life.
Lucky to see them at Gruene Hall in New Braunfels. What a great crowd and vibe. Love them all. Stars in their own right. Amazing American/Texas/San Antonio collaboration. Love forever
I read in Freddy Fender's biography (written by his daughter Tammy) that he started playing guitar and singing in bars in his hometown area for extra money. He was also big in rock and roll and the Blues, before he was talked into recording country in Before the Last Tear drop falls.
Youngsters of Today , They Will Never Know What They Missed . . . Mashed Up Reproductions Of These Kings ! If You Lived Through The SIXTIES , You Saw The Best , And You Were Blessed ! LONG LIVE ROCKIN’ LIVE MUSIC ! GET UP AN’ DANCE !
I recall the Sir Douglas Quintet and She's About A Mover from High Sc days. That was a standard song local bands played for us to dance to. I didn't now the other history with Texas and Freddie Fender. Very intersting. :-)
what an incredible sound. I appreciate the musical progression , this version is much better than the chart topping hit , and most artists would have just mimicked the old music , where here they kept the very simple and repetitive groove as the base, yet moved beyond simple and repetitive. into interesting yet familiar.
I was such a fan of SDQ back in the 60s. I never imagined we would be living in the Lone Star State so many years later. Great Talent on thiis stage. Augie Meyers is one of my friends since we met several years ago. If you haven't heard "Hey Baby Que Paso" by Augie, go look for it.
That Left Eye Wink Freddie gives Doug at :40 is The Sign That They're Both Having Fun and The Times Of Their Lives!!❤❤ Don't get more real. God bless them both and bless All of them.
Was reading where doug and townes van zandt hung out alot. Lots of cocaine stories. Both died young. RIP both gave us a tremendous amount of great music
Happy 82nd Birthday August Meyers - May 31, 1940. San Antonio, Texas Founding member of the Texas Tornados and the Sir Douglas Quintet. He's a Texas legend.. Many more "Augie"..
My understanding is the record companies in the 60's wanted the "british invasion" sound, and so "Sir Douglas Quintet" became the name of the band. but the licks are all TX but what the hell I was only 14 at the time, I didn't know the difference til I moved to TX in 1970
hey, what I say...how many times a day! The evolution of this song from Sir Douglas to the Tornados is awesome. Only Augie is stuck in '64, but he's structure to the free flow from Flaco H. An amazing version of a Texas classic.
Like Doug sayes and the hits keep on comming.this song reminds me of my Ma so much,if there's any tears, it's tears of joy.everyone having such a good time.cant help but smile.its all Good.
thats my dad doug sahm, i love you and miss you so much... love ju ju..ginger sahm.
Been a fan since the "Sir Douglas" days, sorry for your loss. Made a lot of great music.
Good times not forgotten...
BLESSINGS!!
Love your Dads stuff....
sir douglas.... yeah!!!!

I've been listening to Doug since 1971 or maybe earlier. Loved The Texas Tornadoes.

Doug was an incredible talent.
The Talent on this stage is awesome; I can and do listen to them (Doug Sahm, Freddy Fender, Augie, Flaco, et al)all the time for the past 50+ years.
they were a great live group..saw them a couple of times and was never disappointed, even the time Flaco was really wasted..i mean REALLY wasted..didn't matter much..
A belated.. Very Happy 82nd Birthday Leonardo "Flaco" Jiménez.

This is about as good as it gets!
My understanding is the record companies in the 60's wanted the "british invasion" sound, and so "Sir Douglas Quintet" became the name of the band. but the licks are all TX but what the hell I was only 14 at the time, I didn't know the difference til I moved to TX in 1970
Doug can play anything with strings on it
