The Sir Doulas Quintet was really an American group. Sir Douglas was Doug Sahm who later became part of the Texas Tornados with Freddie Fender.

Damn Tex, yer right said on a regular basis :D

Leo, I keep with Texas music and Texas musicans. I have been blessed with a remarkable memory for details and I have good retention.  Also, I've been around a long time.

     I got that memory too, an sometimes it really freaks the wife out.  Wear harness boots as well.

Song I was referrin to earlier was from the Standells.  Aint Texas music, but good stuff.

We have been fortunate to have some great musicans from Texas. The types of music goes from one end of the spectrum to the other. For the most part, I like it all.

I never played the guitar, always wanted to learn how though. I love guitar music, Roy Clark, SRV, Carlos Santana, Willie, Junior Brown, Dick Dale, and the Ventures.

With tableture ya can learn quick.  Used ta be a bunch of sites that had thousands of songs, but they all got shut down over copywrite infringement.
     Tab is a method of notation that just shows you what string and what fret ta hit throughout the song using numbers.  Now that ya got some time on yer hands, mebbe ya should pick up a cheap acoustic an give it a try.  I have tons of tab that I'd be happy ta send ya.

PS
     Sounds ta me like your a Stratocaster man, other than Carlos, who played the Gibson.

Haven't picked up my git fiddle in years, probably make my fingers bleed till I built up some callous again.

This just seemed to fit at this point.

I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played 'til my fingers bled
It was summer of '69

Me and some guys from school
Had a Band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
I shoulda known we'd never get far

Oh when I look back now
That seems to last forever
And if I had the choice
Ya - I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life

(CHORUS)

Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenin's down at the drive in
And that's when I met you

Standin on a mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was no or never
Those were the best days of my life

(Chorus) Back in Summer of '69

Man we were killin' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin' can last forever, no

And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone
Somethimes when I play that old six-string
I think about ya wonder what went wrong

Standin' on a mama's porch
You told me it would last forever
Oh the way you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life

(Chorus) Back in summer of '69

looks like it may be hard ta get a band together  with no more practicing than we're doing,  may just have to make it a jug band.  ;D

I see they are having tryout for the local festival here.   http://www.oleapplegateplace.com/musiclineup.asp
