      😂Lol🤣 I'll explain my laughter, but let me first say that I'm with you brother. I started listening to the Doobie Brothers in 1977 when I was in 7th grade.
      I laughed because doobies sound as if you are referring to joint's. In that particular era, what you typed doobies, joint's, also makes sense. Maybe an apostrophe would work...Doobie's.
      Don't worry because now I'm even confused myself.

      I started playing piano in 1968'ish --- about 1972'ish I took up guitar (because the piano wasn't COOL to an 11 year old boy... Man o' man ... I was stupid).
      The Doobies have taught me soo much over the years....
      From the Skunk days.... to the McFee era. McFee is one of the greatest musicians on the planet. And I have always loved Pat Simmoms.

    In 2021, I'm glad to have those memories tucked safely away in my 70-something mind. So many of those who shared this and other great music from that time are no longer with us. #grateful

    They did 4 or 5 albums that were near perfect! The Captain and Me was FABULOUS!! Gorgeous soft songs like “South city midnight lady” and hard rockers! I saw them in 73 and they were too damn loud!!! Every song sounded the same at a couple thousand decibels! I saw them 30 years later and they were great!!!.
