It's Doug [Dm] Clifford.
Hi, guys.
[C] How's it going?
What's your best memory of high [G] school?

I mean, there are singular events, but the group that's inside this room right now are my fondest memories.
Everybody in [F] the class.
And what's your occupation?
[C] Recording artist, [G]
businessman, [F] [C] jokester, comedian, [Cm] philosopher.

This is [G] all serious stuff here.
That was [A]
Frank Gomez [C] from the class of 74.
He's another guy.
Are you married?
Yes, I am.
How many children [A] do you have?
I have three, and I married my high school sweetheart from El Cerrito.
20 years this year anniversary in terms of marriage, and of course, [C] we started going together in 1962.
So, 27 years together.
[E] That's Lori.
[A] Can you tell us a little bit about your musical career?
Well, John and I started the band in Portla.
This is all right there in El Cerrito.
Which band?
That was the Blue Velvet.
That was Stu Cook, myself, and John.
And then we started, and then Tom's older brother came in later.
We have sold 100 million albums plus, and we still do real well.

And this is Creedence Clearwater Revival?
This is Creedence Clearwater, [C] yeah.

[C]
[G] My words of wisdom are, be philosophical.
Treat yourself fairly.
Drink as much as you can.
Have as much sex as you can, because we ain't [C] getting any younger.
[D]
In my mind, [G] much more than [D] anybody else's.
You know, they were off of college for a few years.
My brother [D] Tom had a day job and was married.
[A] I mean, the only person [G] for much of that time that thought of it as a [D] group was me.
And even though I would go off and play with other T.I.T..s, which is neither right nor wrong. It's just I happened to be sort of a shy, [Eb] I don't know, shy and kind of scared person. The other guys in Creedence were a little bit more, shall I say, experimental. Maybe even reckless sometimes. But, I mean, that was the time. You know, I don't really find, I don't find a big fault with that, not really. But the
