Two years ago when former
Doobie Brothers frontman Michael McDonald performed his Christmas show with us at The Arcada, we talked a bit about his days with Steely Dan just prior to joining the
Doobies.

Original
Doobies Tom Johnston and Pat Simmons remain an unlikely pair, Johnston looking all business and Simmons the long-haired hippie, yet together they marshaled a superb cast of players through a course of such memorable numbers as "Takin' it to the Streets," "Black Water," "Long Train Runnin'" and "China Grove."
