Jim prompts us with American music which is any song played by an American group. I thought I’d go with something that had America in the title but surprisingly the first two tunes I came across were written by groups who hailed for England. Then I looked for songs that mentioned 50 states. Meh. Not feeling it.
I decided to surf around and found a hidden gem. This article about 25 Famous Musicians with San Antonio Roots was calling me. Pick one of us, pick one of us … But how do I choose? Eyes closed and virtual dart board. Doug Sahm formed the Sir Douglas Quintet with Augie Meyers. More at the wiki. Without further ado, here is “She’s About a Mover” songwriter Doug Sahm.
Well, she was a-walkin’ down the street, lookin’ fine as she could be.
Hey, hey!
Well, she was a-walkin’ down the street, lookin’ fine as she could be.
Hey, hey!
Well, you have love and conversation,
Whoa, yeah, what I say!
Hey, hey!
She’s about a mover.
She’s about a mover.
She’s about a mover.
She’s about a mover.
Hey, hey, hey, hey,
What I say!
She’s about a mover.
She’s about a mover.
Well, you know I love you, baby.
Whoa, yeah, what I say!
Hey, hey!Well, she strolled on up to me and said,
“Hey, big boy, what’s your name?”
Hey, hey!

This is perfect Jill, an American rock band, formed in San Antonio in 1964. I don’t really know all that much about this group, but I love this song and I hope that you enjoy the Independence Day holiday.
