I normally don’t post to web sites but I just had to post to yours. I really enjoy your songs and bought your CD Slow Suicide from Itunes. I love your song “I Fall – Sunday Session”. You had me with the opening line –“you threw my shirt down to the floor, falling to the bed I ached for more”. What a sensual song! “My fingers caressed your side”, I can see it and feel it. I just thought I would tell you that you have a real talent.

Doug-You played "Share My Name" at my nephew and his wife(John &Doreen Resners) wedding on July 27,2007 in Slate Hill, NY and I was blown away. First of all you were an added surprise to an already fantastic wedding. Thanks for the song. During the wedding I got a copy of your CD and was at first taken a back by the title of the CD "Slow Suicide" but after listening to it I understood and enjoyed it. Hope to catch you again. Kerry & John

"Shared My Name" is such a beautiful song. We're getting married on July 27, 2007 and have chosen this for our "wedding song". We love it!

A tough, bare-boned and surprisingly emotional 5 song CD set. The videos are just as striking as the lyrics.

Part One - This is based on one run-through of the video. I'll watch again, but these are my first impressions:
I spent the entire video deciding what I thought about the scenery. Feelings of immensity compared to my insignificance was what I felt the most.
The mirror on the table - My eyes were fixated on that, but I couldn't decide what it was I was seeing. Reflection of myself; expecting to see myself. Now I'm in the video; I'm a part of this. I'm the husband.

Having her on top on the bed - she's so into it; she doesn't do that for me; what happened to us over time?
Putting on the stockings - I love to watch that. I guess every guy does. Now I'm back to watching a video. I was thinking, "Hell, I'd do her" if I had the chance. So now I can relate to the other guy.
Holding hands briefly as she came out of the bathroom - Now I'm the husband again. I've been there. Are we cool? Is there anything left here? She turns her head away, you stare across the doorway; that was emotional.

I wasn't sure what to think about the rocks at the end and the various views from above and below and partway up, but then throwing the ring was genius. That brought the whole thing together. That was really cool. I still have the sound of the ring hitting the rocks

STILL - Holy Shit Doug! I'm shaking... I was sitting here thinking how great the
ending was with you sitting on the rock facing away, and that was a great
way to end the song. Then you walked away and I thought how much better
that was even than you facing away while sitting on the rock. Then seeing
her with her hand waving.. reaching out.. you don't know she's there...
I need a break after that.

Doug,
This video is excellent! Your ideas for it were perfect. The ending is great with the
image of her reaching out to you at the grave. How do you sing this
without crying? The song reaches everyone who listens to it because we
can all relate to those experiences or know someone who has.
My Dad lost his best friend of 40 years suddenly (George) - three days
before this Memorial day weekend. George's wife and family are part of
ours. We grew up together and have vacationed together for all my life -
and they vacationed even before they had all of us kids.
We go every year to either Cape Cod or Cape May. We decided to go still
this year to Cape May and I just got back from the trip midnight last
night.
Kathy had a hard time as you can imagine trying to adjust to all the
"firsts" without him. I know I feel a huge void and cannot imagine what
Kathy and my dad are feeling. We all celebrated my parents 40th
anniversary while we were away. My dad toasted to George and Kathy gave
my parents a speech about how much they meant to George. There was not a
dry eye in the place.
She will appreciate this song.
Thanks,
Amy

Wow, what a heartfelt collection of songs! Each one tugs at me in a different way. “Shared My Name” is my favorite – so sweet and loving and easily brings me back to my own wedding day. The remaining songs are extremely emotional and sometimes sad, but really make you realize how rare and wonderful mutual love is. Each one paints a vivid picture of what the writer is going through - be it joy or agony.

You really pulled words and emotions from deep within yourself to create your music. By sharing it, you have let us see into your "heart".
The CD arrived sometime last week but since I was traveling it has only been since Sunday that I've had the pleasure of listening to your music. Each time I've played the CD I have been amazed that the emotions of the writer and singer of those songs of love, betrayal, loss and sadness

PART 2: This is 180 degrees from those of the guy I know. I could easily picture a bottle of whiskey and an ash tray full of cigarette butts in front a guy with a sad face and bloodshot eyes playing a guitar, but it was impossible for me to put your face on that lonely and depressed man.
You are really good at both writing and singing, and I appreciate having had the opportunity to listen to your "heart".
Thank you.

Thank you so much for writing these songs. I am recently divorced and I can connect with all of them. It has been hard, I have friends that I talk to but sometimes I just can’t find the right words, and I am not sure they “get it”. You get it. You tore my heart out with these songs. They hurt but in some really weird way, they are healing. Thank you again for finding a way to put into words what I have been feeling.

This CD has a real edge to it. The passion takes on two sides between Slow Suicide and Shared My Name. There is no turning away and if you don't cringe on Slow Suicide, you just aren't listening. Reminds me of Jim Croce, another raw character.

Great lyrics, very cutting and powerful. You must have had a really crappy marriage or relationship. At least you got a few really good songs out of it.

This cd is packed with passion and reality. You can feel the singers soul pouring out through the lyrics. Much of the world can relate to this "slow suicide" and needs to hear this talent!

Lyrics that are personal and real; you feel that you have been entrusted with a friend's secret thoughts, hopes and dreams - and then you look in the mirror.

I was so moved by this song. It is haunting and gut churning...the emotion really comes across. The lyrics convey the despair of betrayal so eloquently and it conjured up experiences from my past which is always the hallmark of a great song in my book. Two thumbs way up!
