Good Mid-Late Afternoon my RP Brothers and Sisters!!!
It is about 4:25 PM and a good time to toss in another Late afternoon Music Interlude! ...and for this Interlude, I chose a song by the Doobie Brothers, titled "China Grove"! THis song has a great beat and some really great guitar and drum segments... I believe you will all rock on with this song!
Background:
The Doobie Brothers are an American rock band from San Jose, California. The group has sold more than 40 million albums worldwide. They have been active for nearly five decades, with their greatest success in the 1970s.
The band's history can be roughly divided into three eras. From 1970 to 1975 it featured lead vocalist Tom Johnston and a mainstream rock and roll sound with elements of folk, country and R&B. Johnston quit the group in 1975, and was replaced by Michael McDonald, whose interest in soul music changed the band's sound until it broke up in 1982. The Doobie Brothers reformed in 1987 with Johnston back in the fold and are still active, with occasional contributions from McDonald. Every incarnation of the group emphasized vocal harmonies. The Doobie Brothers were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2004.
Lyrics:
When the sun comes up on a sleepy little town
Down around San Antone
And the folks are risin for another day
Round about their homes
The people of the town are strange
And they're proud of where they came
Well, you're talkin bout china grove
Oh, china grove
Well, the preacher and the teacher
Lord, they're a caution
They are the talk of the town
When the gossip gets to flyin
And they ain't lyin
When the sun goes fallin down
They say that the father's insane
And dear missus Perkins a game
Were talkin bout the china grove
Oh, china grove
But every day there's a new thing comin
The ways of an oriental view
The sheriff and his buddies
With their samurai swords
You can even hear the music at night
And though it's a part of the lone star state
People don't seem to care
They just keep on lookin' to the east
Talkin bout the china grove
Oh, china grove
