Ever have one of those days that fairly screams, 'Beautiful!'?
Today started just like that.
It's already getting hot in Florida - I'm talking in the nineties during the day with, maybe, a low of seventy-two. But this morning, the humidity was down and it felt cooler.
I left for work and drove through the tree-lined, residential streets of Bagdad. The window was down, the air was cool. The oak trees were a vibrant green and the early-morning sky was impossibly blue.
After thanking God for such a great day, I turned on the radio and heard this song...
The Doobie Brothers - Listen to the Music
Maybe it's because the Doobies were my first concert, maybe it's just because this song and this morning went together so well - who knows - it just fit. Traffic was light, the wind was cool and the sun rose at my back while I drove to work over Escambia Bay...perfect.
I'm no stranger to horns and synthesizers - I love jazz and new wave from the eighties - but this morning, the pure guitar sound of the early Doobies was just what the doctor ordered.
I liked the Doobie Brothers with Michael McDonald - he has such a great voice...
The Doobie Brothers - What a Fool Believes
But there is something about the early Doobies - straight forward guitar and vocal harmonies with a solid backbeat - that harkens to a simpler, more innocent time.
What drives the soundtrack of your life?
