Listen To The Music - Lexington Lab Band

Over 3 decades ago Tom Johnston and Patrick Simmons formed one of the most popular California rock bands of the '70s, The Doobie Brothers. They racked up a string of gold and platinum albums in the U.S., along with a number of radio hits like "Listen to the Music," "Black Water," and "China Grove." With the addition of Skunk Baxter and Michael McDonald in the mid seventies the bands sound began to include more jazz and pop and two more platinum albums followed. We are proud to launch Lexington Lab Band with this very first episode that covers what we believe are 4 of their very best songs - two from each era of their remarkable run. Thanks for listening to the music! - LLB

Dale,
My father-in-law was a roadie for the Doobie Brothers back when this song was made. I could listen to you guys forever. excellent job. Your Friend Bob

[@tonedr]

hello Bob...that's so cool - i guess i've been a DB fan since i was a teenager and i'm 54 now and seeing them again this summer and just as excited! thanks for sharing music, your friend, dale.

[@peshewa0529]

He rode with Pat Simmons on his Harley up the coast here in California last year. I believe he's a few years older than Pat. Love the music from the sixties and seventies. Take care and keep playing.
Your Friend Bob

[@tonedr]

i often tell people if i could meet any guitarist alive today it would be Patrick Simmons. He's such a great guitarist and a major influence - maybe one day!

I'm so happy to see you guys honor the Doobie Brothers Band. Another of my favorite guitar bands, with some of the best harmonies in the history of rock bands. Just another on the list of great bands who have been disrespected by the rock and roll hall of fame in Cleveland.
Just to name a few: Doobies, Foreigner, The Moody Blues, J.Geils Band, Carly Simon, Carole King, Todd Rundgren, Boston, Kansas, and a whole host of other deserving artists...Anyway, you guys honor everyone you play...Thank you guys, my wife and I think you are absolutely incredible singers/ musicians, and I've been spreading the word up & down the New England area...

[@tonedr]

hello Paul...great thanks again sir for the kind and supportive words - we do sincerely appreciate it! It's obvious music is a big part of your life and i'm glad we can share a common love of great tunes - please thank your wife and you guys have a great weekend!

[@paulsullivan1650]

Thank you for the reply. Janine & I are sitting here right now in her room (she's in a nursing facility with multiple sclerosis), and she's telling me to play your Journey videos...lol. She loves the way you play just like NS. Anyway, we'll have a good weekend, and I hope all of you and your loved ones have a great, safe one also. I think you are not only a fantastic bunch of musicians, but it's very obvious to me that you're also a great bunch of people too. I'm very happy to have found your band...Thank you so very much. Your friends, Paul & Janine...
