Michael McDonald. I have been watching Mike perform for decades as I have been a fan for most of my life. I am still excited to see him perform and of course I always go see him when I can. Tonight he is on the bill with Boz Scaggs. They are great friends and tour frequently together. They even take turns opening for each other. Boz opened the show on this night but I am starting my story here. We are in Cary North Carolina at the http://www.boothamphitheatre.com/.

Here’s one he played. It is still a favorite of mine and reminds me of a year of my life. 1978. I played the heads off a cassette deck listening to this one.

Hey, don’t worry, I’ve been lied to
I’ve been here many times before
Girl, don’t you worry, I know where I stand
I don’t need this love, I don’t need your hand
I know I could turn, blink, and you’d be gone

Then I must be prepared any time to carry on
But minute by minute by minute by minute
I keep holding on
Oh, minute by minute by minute by minute
I keep holding on
