Doobie Brothers guitarist Patrick Simmons has fond recollections of growing up in the South Bay and listening to local rock heroes like Moby Grape.

I am expecting you are going to call me up on stage at the next Doobie Brothers show I attend and we’ll sing it together. That would be a showstopper.It would be. It would be a showstopper. The lights would go off. The PA would go off. They would haul us out of there. Mostly, I live in Maui. I moved there 26 years ago and been there ever since. I expect probably one of these days, I will be back in California — because I kind of miss it.

I stuck around there even after we had come to a certain amount of popularity. I was living in Los Gatos at the time. I loved the area. I still love the area. As much as it has grown, I think San Jose really has a charm. There’s something about the area and the people and the infrastructure — as crowded as it has become, it still feels like a community. Every time I go there to visit, I still enjoy it and have a good feeling there.
