This song is so nice. I became a fan by clicking on ‘Who Were You Thinking Of’ by mistake (a nice one at that) and instantly fell in love with The Texas Tornados. Now I’m hooked. I know Freddy Fender isn’t with us anymore, but is anyone else in the band still doing shows? Thanks
He was the coolest man of the 90’s too. I was sitting at the table behind him at the Broken Spoke one night when he was talking sweet to a table of three girls. When I scooted my chair back two inches I fell off the edge of a little bitty wheelchair ramp. Good thing I didn’t break my damn neck. It really wasn’t that bad because I was drunk. Doug, Austin is sure missing you but your spirit is entwined forever and your boys are making you proud.

Augie Myers-Organ, Speedy Sparks-Bass, Ernie Durawa – Drums and Doug’s boys Shaun and Shannon still play regularly in bands somewhere. Speedy plays with the Nortons and the James Hand Band, as well as others, and you can Google the rest. Coming to a city near you, pretty damn soon. I hope, if not come to Austin. We love y’all, seriously. You’ll see.
charley pride rotterdam concert was a great version of song much better than 10 year latter at the grand old oprey i think this texas tornados is the best of all little know band just found by chance
Ernie Durawa, the drummer, has formed a band called the MONSTAS…jst saw them yesterday at Guerros…they freaking rock…no doubt…so the spirit is still alive
this is nice but the studio version is so much better. the late great jimmy day plays a killer “day” solo on it. it really makes the song.

Sorry to say that Doug Sahm passed away yet before Freddy Fender. But someone before said, that his son is still playing with the band.

Sahm was the coolest man of the 1970’s and I’ll stand on the Fonz’s coffee table and scream that.
