I want to thank the original band members who helped make a great memory for me....I was in 9th grade and maybe 14 or 15 when the Sir Douglas Quintet played at The Rocking Castle in Boise, Idaho in the 60's. She's About a Mover was on the charts, and I was nuts about the song! The dances that were popular at the time were the "skate", and the "Jerk". I finagled my way backstage to meet the band and was welcomed. I was a starry-eyed teen and was smitten with the SDQ! They were very gentlemanly with me. I was able to engage with Doug and a few other band members. I was a budding musician/ keyboardist, and had just acquired a Vox keyboard, just like the one they used on "She's About A Mover". I played by ear and learned organ riffs with ease...and I was thrilled to get tips on playing it. I am still playing, but on a Korg Trinity...best synth ever! Heaven would be to relive nights like that one. And thanks to the "newer" band members who keep the music alive and true to form.! God Bless!
What a great band! It ended way too soon. The innovator, Doug Sahm, as well as all the musical collaborations he was involved in, are unique and missed so much. Hi daughter. Your dad is remembered with respect and love. Take care.
The first time I ever went to a concert was in 1965 when I was 15. The headliners were the Sir Douglas Quintet and Little Richard - what an ass-kickin' that was!
I remember my dad's friend playing these guys and Freddie Fender while working on his '56 Ford in the backyard and thinking this was the coolest band I had ever heard!! I still play them on a daily basis! Great music only comes around once in a lifetime! Thank you for sharing!!
I read in Freddy Fender's biography (written by his daughter Tammy) that he started playing guitar and singing in bars in his hometown area for extra money. He was also big in rock and roll and the Blues, before he was talked into recording country in Before the Last Tear drop falls.
they were a great live group..saw them a couple of times and was never disappointed, even the time Flaco was really wasted..i mean REALLY wasted..didn't matter much..
My dad worked at a music store from the mid60s to the 70s and he brought home a lot of promotional albums, and we had one of Mendocino. He used to play it once in a while but he worked a lot and even when I was home with my mom at eight years old I was putting the album on because it just sounded so groovy to me. This song is my favorite of theirs. What an awesome performance, Doug never lost that booming voice
Doug Song amazing man from childhood just passing did a great wonderful joy to people he is a gift from God God bless but he still lives on right on mystery Doug
Big fan of these guys…Doug was living in my old home town for a few years in the ‘80’s, while recording with Stony Plain Records. We caught him at a local venue with the Formerly Brothers; Doug, Amos Garrett & Larry Taylor. Doug was also a surprise guest for Bob Dylan’s encore, including the opening, Tracy Chapman. Early ‘90’s, saw both Augie & Larry, backing John Hammond on his Wicked Grin Tour. Flaco’s an especially gifted virtuoso & favourite of mine. ❤
Lucky to see them at Gruene Hall in New Braunfels. What a great crowd and vibe. Love them all. Stars in their own right. Amazing American/Texas/San Antonio collaboration. Love forever
Play that song in any bar in America and you will get the Dance Floor packed in no time flat !! that is a real a real dancer!.... wooly...sloopy. loie loue.... people really love those songs with great back beat and a cheesy soundin organ!!!......its FUN!!
Youngsters of Today , They Will Never Know What They Missed . . . Mashed Up Reproductions Of These Kings ! If You Lived Through The SIXTIES , You Saw The Best , And You Were Blessed ! LONG LIVE ROCKIN’ LIVE MUSIC ! GET UP AN’ DANCE !
hey, what I say...how many times a day! The evolution of this song from Sir Douglas to the Tornados is awesome. Only Augie is stuck in '64, but he's structure to the free flow from Flaco H. An amazing version of a Texas classic.
My understanding is the record companies in the 60's wanted the "british invasion" sound, and so "Sir Douglas Quintet" became the name of the band. but the licks are all TX but what the hell I was only 14 at the time, I didn't know the difference til I moved to TX in 1970
voz di Bonaire.comnda Dushi - in 2005. He was in his 70's as was Doug Sahm when he passes on. They had fairly long lives. Neither died tragically young. Check out Freddy's beautiful monument at his final resting place (on this earth). I hope he's at the eternal banquet, partying in heaven seeing the Face of God!
That Left Eye Wink Freddie gives Doug at :40 is The Sign That They're Both Having Fun and The Times Of Their Lives!!❤❤ Don't get more real. God bless them both and bless All of them.
I was such a fan of SDQ back in the 60s. I never imagined we would be living in the Lone Star State so many years later. Great Talent on thiis stage. Augie Meyers is one of my friends since we met several years ago. If you haven't heard "Hey Baby Que Paso" by Augie, go look for it.
Happy 82nd Birthday August Meyers - May 31, 1940. San Antonio, Texas Founding member of the Texas Tornados and the Sir Douglas Quintet. He's a Texas legend.. Many more "Augie"..
Tammy Fender has written a great book about the good parts of her dad's rise to fame and the bad parts. He wanted it to be what really happened. I can't wait til 2 nd book gets out there.
I recall the Sir Douglas Quintet and She's About A Mover from High Sc days. That was a standard song local bands played for us to dance to. I didn't now the other history with Texas and Freddie Fender. Very intersting. :-)
thats my dad doug sahm, i love you and miss you so much... love ju ju..ginger sahm.
Been a fan since the "Sir Douglas" days, sorry for your loss. Made a lot of great music.
Good times not forgotten...
BLESSINGS!!
Love your Dads stuff....

That's too cool. Glad you had that experience
I'm from Canada. He was a great musician. I watched him in the 1960s and loved all his songs. He made Texas proud. God Bless him and his family. Amen.
This song was a huge part of the soundtrack to my childhood. Thanks to my old man, I was raised on real music. God bless Sir Douglas v
Doug, Freddy, Augie, Flacco. What Legends.
Who is playing slide guitar on that Stratocaster???
Nice sound!
One of a kind legends That needs To be dealt with yet As time goes on
Nothing like some good foot stomping and dancing music to brighten the world.
Doug Sahm was one of the great leaders and frontmen of all time. Energy, charisma, talent, and too much fun.
Love the guitar work by Freddie Fender !!!

I read in Freddy Fender's biography (written by his daughter Tammy) that he started playing guitar and singing in bars in his hometown area for extra money. He was also big in rock and roll and the Blues, before he was talked into recording country in Before the Last Tear drop falls.
I was a fan from first hearing in the 60s...Timeless and pure wonderful.
The Talent on this stage is awesome; I can and do listen to them (Doug Sahm, Freddy Fender, Augie, Flaco, et al)all the time for the past 50+ years.
they were a great live group..saw them a couple of times and was never disappointed, even the time Flaco was really wasted..i mean REALLY wasted..didn't matter much..

Freddy Fender died???
voz di Bonaire.comnda Dushi - in 2005. He was in his 70's as was Doug Sahm when he passes on. They had fairly long lives. Neither died tragically young. Check out Freddy's beautiful monument at his final resting place (on this earth). I hope he's at the eternal banquet, partying in heaven seeing the Face of God!

Founding member of the Texas Tornados and the Sir Douglas Quintet.
He's a Texas legend.. Many more "Augie"..
Until I straightened her out,my Wife thought lyrics were "Biddy-botty-doo-dah" for the past 40 years!🤣🤣🤣
Ha-Ha!
No Matter , I’ll Bet She’s Been Groovin’ And Grindin’ To This Song EVER SINCE !
The original lyrics as written were "She's A Body Mover", which makes far more sense-but they had to be changed because, you know....
that singer is adorable
Your Dad was “1 Cool Musician”. ❤️ I love his history & contributions to “American Music”. Muchísimas gracias. 🙏
Dang, I miss this type of Music! When is someone going to put this Austin TX show on CD again?

The Oldies But Goodies...
😀💚❤🤠😃
Damn these tunes make me miss my dad!
Tammy Fender has written a great book about the good parts of her dad's rise to fame and the bad parts. He wanted it to be what really happened. I can't wait til 2 nd book gets out there.
I'm so glad that I'm from Texas!
Spicy Tex-Mex at its best!!! Miss you Doug and you too Freddy. We'll never see the likes of this again
I recall the Sir Douglas Quintet and She's About A Mover from High Sc days. That was a standard song local bands played for us to dance to. I didn't now the other history with Texas and Freddie Fender. Very intersting. :-)
