Jun 17, 2007 - Hello friends. As always seems to be the case with these things, Doug's album is taking a little longer than anticipated to finish. Eager queries from friends and fans are appreciated, and recording is actually about 97% complete (the tracks are sounding great), but we want to make sure that everything is just right before releasing any product. Thanks for your patience....it will be worth the wait!!! In other news, this website will soon be completely revamped, so keep checking back to see the new look. Doug also continues a full schedule of gigs while completing the album, and will be teaching again for the summer program at L.A. Music Academy. Here is a picture of Doug playing with Frank Gambale and drummer Mike Hughes for a recent class at the Academy:
