Budman Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 We are but temporary visitors. Each of us has a finite number of days here, precious few they are, in the grand scheme of things. My advice, if I may be so bold, would be not to waste another sitting around "waiting for it to rain." .................... (Philosophically speaking of course.)

debwill Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 We hit the jackpot on the rain! We live near China Grove (east of San Antonio), and we got a total of 5-1/2 inches of rain over the past couple of days. YES!!! And, yes, it's the same China Grove that was the theme of the song by the Doobie Brothers. Does anyone remember the lyrics from the song and why China Grove was famous "in its time?"

Rosie Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Isn't China Grove a suburb of Elmendorf? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txtom Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 These Lyrics? When the sun comes up on a sleepy little town down around San Antone and the folks are risin' for another day 'round about their homes. The people of the town are strange and they're proud of where they came. Well, you're talkin' 'bout China Grove, wo, oh, oh, oh, China Grove. Well, the preacher and the teacher, Lord, they're a caution, they are the talk of the town. When the gossip gets to flyin' and they ain't lyin'; when the sun goes fallin' down. They say that the father's insane and dear Missus Perkin's a game. We're talkin' 'bout the China Grove, wo, oh, oh, oh, China Grove. But ev'ryday there's a new thing comin', the ways of an oriental view. The sheriff and his buddies with their samurai swords, you can even hear the music at night. And though it's part of the Lone Star State people don't seem to care, they just keep on lookin' to the East. Talkin' 'bout the China Grove, oh, China Grove. Ths story went, as I remember, that the Doobies recorded and named the song; only to find out after it became a hit that there was really a China Grove, around San Antonio. I believe the song writer was Tom Johnston, who was the lead singer before getting sick, and being replaced by Michael MacDonald. What amazed me was the number of my High School Class mates at Schertz Clemens that had no idea where China Grove was, although it ain't more than 10 miles away as the crow flies.......

debwill Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Tom, You totally amaze me. Not only are you the best racing history expert in this area, but you also know a lot about music! Your comment about Schertz is no surprise. I grew up on the south side of San Antonio and had to learn to navigate to locations all over the north side. But the reverse wasn't (and still isn't) true. I can't tell you how many people from the north side didn't even know the south side existed . . . and certainly couldn't find their way around.

abrungot Posted August 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 and here i thought China grove was all about a orchard of grape vines.... Seems Tom & Debbie have been playing in the remains of those grapes.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mona Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 The people of the town are strange and they're proud of where they came. Debbie, I don't know if I would let people know about the song, just because of the lone lyric above. Does Jody Wayne Stuart live there by any chance? I could understand the lyric's truth if he did. I didn't know Elmendorf had a suburb. WOW, us people from the Northside are learning alot.LOL I came from the South side also, but further south than you. I remember driving to the North side & it seemed like I was driving all the way to Austin. Now, that I'm on the North side, it doesn't take any time to get to the South side.

Budman Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Well ya knew this was coming ........................... LINK Incidentially, it stopped raining up here last October and we've had hardly a decent rain shower since. We got a 15 minute shower this morning. An hour later I went walking around the property and didn't even get any mud on my shoes. The ground is so dry, it sucks up any moisture like a sponge. Please send some rain my way.

Budman Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Funny you should mention that Big A. That was a year ago this past June. Here is a photo of the creek down below my place before that big rain. Notice that big white rock. It is roughly 7 ft high by 12 ft square. Then, the same shot AFTER that flood.
