More Songs Were Written
So where do we go from here? Do I write a book about Doug and let his fans read about his growing up or do I just let everything sit silently? Doug has other copywritten songs that haven't been put out to the public yet, do we proceed in doing so? This talented young man had so many things to offer, should we show it all or let it lie in peace?

I think the music should be released. I was a close friend of Doug's back then. I have no doubt that he would have become a superstar music producer / artist had he been stricken with MS. He even played on some of my songs. He was extremely talented. We should talk sometime.

ReplyDeleteI removed a comment because it had a personal phone number on it and don't want that all over the net. Thankyou for your comment Mark...it meant alot to me.
ReplyDeleteYes Debbie,
ReplyDeleteDoug was truly a genius. My name is Jerry Moates and Doug was one of my best friends back in the old High school day's and a few years after. Doug and I bonded through music.
I was a total Doug(never knew him as Sunbelt)
fan from day 1.Everything he did amazed me.
His outrageous artwork,incredable keyboard skills(he could play Styx's/Fooling Yourself at 78 speed on the record player, it blew my mind)photographer,drummer he could do anything.He also was the first person I knew that had a home computer. He was way ahead of his time.He got me in my first band.There was no doubt in my mind he was going to be famous. I was so proud for him to be my friend. His was one of the saddest stories in my whole life. I moved around for awhile and Doug moved away and I lost touch with him.
It was truly a sad day when I learned of his
passing. The years I got to spend with him I consider a great gift.
I am Doug's father. I think his music should be out there for everyone to enjoy free. I knew that if Doug had lived, he would have accomplished good things. A parent never gets over losing a child and I miss him every day.
ReplyDeleteI agree, you could use a website called Band Camp for this. Spin It is amazing, just heard it on a Caribou mix https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6pb2pLeR_s&list=PL4lEESSgxM_5O81EvKCmBIm_JT5Q7JeaI&index=119

Hi, my name is Edward and I am one of the owners of I Venti d'Azzurro Records ( http://www.iventirecords.com ) and Radio Stad Den Haag ( http://www.radiostaddenhaag.com ). On our radiostation we play Spin It a lot. Last year the song ended number 5 in our annual Top 100, which is voted by our listeners. The next Top 100 will be broadcast on 1 January 2011 live, starting at 13:00 Central European Time and Spin It is doing well so far in the charts. You can send in your Top 10 until Friday 31 Descember noon (C.E.T.).
ReplyDeleteAnyway, my record company releases vintage Italo, Disco and Hi NRG on vinyl. We just released a new record for Trans-X and also work with people like Paul Parker and many big names in Italo Disco. We are certainly interested in releasing some unreleased stuff of your brother. Please contact me via info@iventirecords.com (please direct your mail to Edward) and maybe we can work something out.
Kind regards,
Edward
Hi! I just came across Sunbelt - Spin It and just wanted to say what a great song...loved it. Please release his other music if however possible, maybe Bandcamp could be a easy way to do it. Heard of your brother's song on a Caribou playlist on Youtube. Great!
