Dougie Parks…

Some time back in the summer of 1977… or maybe it was ‘78… I don’t know… I was riding in the back seat of a Blue Ford Granada… on “The Strip”… (Mathis Avenue, in front of Reb Yank and Manassas Shopping Center)… all the teenagers would ride back and forth… up and down the strip all night on every Friday an Saturday… drinking beer that some 18 year old bought for us… that’s right… Laws were different back then… I was 13… so it was ‘78… I remember I was 13… fairly young to be hanging with that crowd… most of which were at least 16… Cunningham was next to me in the back seat and Johnny was riding shotgun… we were drinking Budweiser and passing around a half a pack of Winston… behind the wheel… was one of them 16 year olds…
Dougie Parks… piloting his Mom’s grocery getter… I’m not sure how many people called him Dougie… but I did… I always did… the radio of course was blaring… blasting out the day’s Rock and Roll hits… Come Sail Away, by Styx, came on DC101… I sang out loud and I sang out proud… along with the music on the stereo… in the moment of silence right after the song ended… Dougie said… “Hey Mark, what are you doing tomorrow afternoon.”
“Don’t know… why?” I replied… in those days it was cool to not know something… so “don’t know” is something all the cool kids used to say… I’m not saying I was cool… but I wanted to be… so… “Don’t know… why?”
Dougie had a band called City Limits… Johnny was the drummer… Ray Valdez played sax and Warren Wood fingered the bass…
“We’re having practice tomorrow… you should come by and sing a little.”
And just like that… at the age of 13… a star was born… what ego? The man that would become Red F. Pinkerton was suddenly a singer in a rock and roll band. You know what… it might have been Blue Collar Man… yeah… I think it was… oh my poor memory… I mean… it was 47 years ago…
Anyway… as I sit here just hours away from taking the stage at The Jim Rowe Foundation Music Fest… I’m reminded… I would have probably never gotten into music if not for Dougie Parks… and I’ve told him this many times over the years… but I sure wish I had told him this past week… Dougie passed away yesterday... but I’ll have him in my heart when I get out there today… I will speak of you Dougie… and when I do… I will speak well… I’m happy you’re pain is no more… but sad that you’re gone… and I truly thank you… for all the memories and for asking me what I was doing that summer afternoon… Fly High Dougie… and… play on brother… play on…
RIP Dougie Parks…
