Sir Douglas Quintet - Mendocino 1968 ((Stereo)) 

He will be at a place in San Antonio this Saturday I’m going!!!

I loved Doug sahm wish I could’ve seen him playing

Correction. Doug Sahm founded the band.

That would be amazing in a 31 year old millennial and my dads pot dealer was this old white hippie guy and he got us into Doug Sahm

Das ist noch richtig geile Musik gewesen und heute muss ich mir Billie Eilish und sowas anhören... 😑

that is how I feel about being young from 1960-1969 the best of times for being alive oh was I so innocent and trusting

You gotta listen to the live version done by the "Texas Tornadoes ". Live in Austin. They rock it.

It’s band founder Augie Meyers doing the keyboard solos, so need for any guitar solo. This was the “San Antonio sound” taken from a combination of conjunto with a touch of zydeco to make it unique. You can hear it on many of their songs like “She’s About A Mover”. Fun sound. Augie turned 84 today (05/31/2024) and still performs with the great Flaco Jiminez. Augie Meyers is a very nice man and lives here in his hometown of San Antonio, Texas.

Funny to read that you visited Mendecino because of the song. I too used to visit places because of songs or books and even because of films. It was always a special pleasure for me....

My first single record was this song of the Sir Douglas Quintet: Mendocino. 1968 I was 11 years old.

@@xanthippe9757 I was one year away from graduating high school in 68. So long ago.

The San Antonio sound.

Ich kenne auch eine andere Version auf Deutsch aus den 70er Jahren aber von "Michael Holm - Mendocino" aber das Original vom *Sir Douglas Quintet* ist einfach Das Beste!!! 💗🤗💗

And Son Volt performed it in their last tour. I'm kinda bummed it's not on their newest album.

Takes me back to 1969 rolling around with my girlfriend 🥰

I just assume that she was 19.

@@armanddimeo6575 Back then underage was not a big deal.

@@armanddimeo6575 No way, 14 tops.

No she was 14

Trouble is, most of the time, California is either under water or on fire.

Aber sowas von. Was die heute für einen Schrott hören, als ob die alle verblödet sind.......Doofes Volk heute.....von harter Arbeit, Qualität und guten Geschmack haben diese Kleinhirne von heute keinen Dunst.....die Apple und Mircrosoft Generation. Gruß von Andy aus Maintal bei Frankfurt/a.Main

@@deborahdavidson9017 Hello. Translation of my comment: " Great ballad. It never loses the excellence of a classic song."

The Sir Douglas Quintet was an American rock band formed in San Antonio, Texas in 1964. With their first hits, they were acclaimed in their home state. When their career was established (subsequent to working with Texas record producer Huey Meaux), the band relocated to the West Coast. Their move coincided with the burgeoning San Francisco psychedelic rock scene of the mid 1960s to early 1970s. Overall, the quintet were exponents of good-times music with strong roots in blues and Texas-regional traditions. The band's songs were most noted for the instantly distinguishable organ sound of Augie Meyers' Vox Continental. Doug Sahm, a veteran of the professional music scene who first sang on radio at the age of five, formed the Quintet (first called simply "Sir Douglas") in 1964 with longtime friend Augie Meyers and the other original members, Jack Barber, Frank Morin, and Johnny Perez. Sahm had started in country music and had played (at age eleven) on-stage with Hank Williams, Sr. during the latter's final performance. Sahm went on to play in blues clubs in his teenage years and had gained experience as a band leader. The initial success of the new group, the Quintet, on the airwaves and sales charts was achieved when they made records in conjunction with Houston music producer Huey P. Meaux. Houston's recording industry had become the center of Texas R&B music. For more info. @ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_Douglas_Quintet

Even the toughest of us sing Mendocino once or twice.

@@WattisWatts I agree but lyrics like this teaches many young men it's OK to be a pussy. It also serves as an emotional drug to help setup those hormone raging pussy worshiping wimp into relationships where many types of women will eventually take advantage of them, walk all over them, take them for what they can get, and go have sex with an alpha male because women, in the end, don't respect a pussy and want to be with a desirable man that presents with the qualities of having money, power and fame. The ultimate outcome for pussy worshiping men have to learn the hard way by making their mistakes. With some pussified men, it leads to suicide. You know, the "I can't live without you" type mega-wussies..

@@zzyzxRDFwy15 You got something there.

Tough to lose a hot 18 year old back then. Lol

@@michaelhaggerty6126You said it all pal!
