14 Year Old Michael McDonald

Of Doobie Brothers got his 14 Year Old Girlfriend Pregnant in 1966. Both families were Catholic. The prospective mother was whisked away to points unknown, had the baby and the baby was put up for adoption.

McDonald, one of my favorites. My wife got me his “Memoir” What a Fool Believes for Christmas. So far an interesting adolescence. I’m a slow reader.

He’s forthcoming. His mother and father didn’t get along. His Dad took him to his gathering places which kinda started his musical career. He played in a couple of bans early on.

My husband somehow managed to get our tickets upgraded to the third row. Of course the band is all older now but that was one of the best shows I've seen in years. They were all having so much fun.

Since they FINALLY made the Hall of Fame. I believe we have an awesome soundtrack of our lives.
