Damn, Lorraine gets around.  And for God’s sake, put on some pants when answering the door, will ya?  I can’t tell you how many times I was greeted by tidy-whities in college… Man…  And, I am a smart ass as much as Bud is and generally a comment like the one he made today would get me slapped around a bit.  It is never a good idea to point at a guy who can kick your ass.

Today’s comic title comes from the Doobie Brothers’ third album release.  “The Captain and Me” was released in 1973 and it was an instant winner.  I have the album on reel-to-reel and the sonic quality was fantastic and was a source for demonstrating my stereo system many times over the decades.  But the other reason I featured a Doobie’s tune today is that one of the original drummers for the band, Michael Hossack, passed away last week.  The Doobies was one of a handful of bands to feature dual drummers.  The other two that come to mind are the Grateful Dead and the Allman Brothers.  A track that rocks with both drummers is also on “The Captain and Me” called “Without You” and you need to go find it and crank the sucker up.  So in remembrance of a great drummer for a landmark ’70s rock band, today’s tune is dedicated to Michael.  May he drum on forever now.  (And this is from Wikipedia: “In 1977, Hossack became a partner in Chateau Recorders studio in North Hollywood.”)
