Welcome

Happy New Year everybody! 2006 was great. Lets see where should I begin. First I have to stop and kiss myself....Ok..here we go..I toured North America, The Netherlands and the UK with Lucinda. I did a US duo tour with Lucinda and a handful of shows with Lucinda and her father Miller Williams. I also toured the states with Ray LaMontange and performed on Conan and Leno. Oh yeah, I went toe to toe trading riffs with Bruce Springsteen at a show in London. Did that happen or did I dream it Enough already about the live stuff....lets move on to the studio. Worked with Sting, Richard Thompson and Van Dyke Parks and the new Lucinda record. Well thats enough reflecting for now. Lets look toward the future! Oh yeah I almost forgot Lucinda`s road manager Jim and I met two aliens ( outer space aliens) in Amsterdam last fall.
Over and out,
Doug

Hi doug,
Have been waiting for your site to be finnished. Wanted to say I really enjoy your guitar playing. I too am a rock guitarist and have been playing for over 30+ years and maybe as you know the older you get and grow with your instrument the less you find people who are inspiring.(atleast for me) I have to say that your playing has touched me deeply in my heart and I think its wonderful to have discovered your talent. I live in Santa Fe NM. Hope to see you on tour through there with Lucinda and or Yourself. Take Care
Regards,
Kent Malmquist

The site is lookin sweet!

Sunshine,
This web is like a home:
vintage style, romantic, clear to work and some fine music. A nice place to surf home to :-)
have a nice time on line!!

sunny hugs,

Doug,
Hello, I hope all is well. I am always running into those who know you, everyone says hello. Your record sounds great. See you soon.

Bill Reveles

Doug, glad to see you have a web site, we have been waiting. Your playing has influenced and impressed me greatly. Thank you for playing. Any chance of hearing about your guitars, amps and effects?

I drove 200 miles to hear you and Lucinda in Medford, OR. Bought your CD after the show. As I was almost home, driving through farmlands it started to rain. "Jolene" was playing. I rolled down the window to smell the rain on the soil. It was a perfect moment. Thank you...

Hey Sir Douglas,

England calling. Love the website and am looking forward to seeing you on these shores in November.

Take care buddy,

Hi Doug,
Tom here from Woodland Hills. Saw the photo of you playing with my sidekick Keith. How real. Did you tell him you played with the Stones in 79/80? Ahhh yeah. Anyway, just listened to The West Gate and it sort-of reminded me of our conversation at Zuma in 03. Life on the road is hard and those of us who live it try to make the sacrifices worth it. I see you are playing up in SBA Monday. I've been laying low these days but I'll try to fly up the 101 and catch your show. Rock on!!! Mick, I mean Tom

Doug-
I last saw you in Mpls at First Avenue July 2001. You, Lucinda, Bo and Essence. Met you outside after the show and gave you my pack of American Spirits. You said you were a simple man clad in vintage clothing with no tattoos and no piercings living out his passion. Does that still hold true? I am in Santa Fe and you will be soon...Monday, March 27th. You said, "Next time I'm in town be by the bus and I'll get you into the show." It may not be the same town but I would love to catch the show. Any chance? There'll be a pack of American Spirits in it for you.

Doug,
Boo...boo...I miss you...boo...boo...boo...I always felt like you saw right through me...boo...boo...who...

Just caught your show with Lucinda in St. Louis. What a fantastic set! Is your red Les Paul vintage or a reissue? Either way, that P-90 sounds great!

DP
Saw you and Lucinda at the Alladin in Portland, I think it was the first or second show of the tour? y'all were working out some details, it was very informal, loved it- and who doesn't Love Her? The sound there is always so exceptional- Tim Easton is an excellent opener for this format- one of the best shows I've ever had the pleasure of seeing- and your new CD- with Hank and Becky Mae- ROCKS

Pelican's forever! I saw you at the El Rey on 3/31. When did you learn to play pedal steel like that? That was a great show and I am so happy to see you playing with someone as profound and creative as Miss Williams.

Mr Pettibone,

Please add a section with your guitars and amps ,, signal chain etc..

My jaw dropped when I heard World Without Tears.. what is that tremolo??

Hey Doug. How are ya? Havn't talked to you in a while. Nice to see a website...about time! Like the site. Very cool. Sorry I havn't been in touch in a while. Hope all is well. I'm still gigging and recording and never felt better about my playing!Anyway, hope to hear from you soon.
Chris Myers

Doug i have seen you with Lu at Chastain in Atlanta, The Beacon in NYC and the Music Farm in Charlseton SC. In Charleston you signed a "World Without Tears" poster for my 7 yr old daughter who was in the hospital at the time recovering from surgury for a brain tumor. I want to thank you for taking the time do do that for her. She is doing great.
I just purchased your record and can't wait to hear it. Good luck and thanks again.

What a cool guy! Say no more Squire!

Doug, Like your new site ----simple and cool...love it! I was just listening to Lucinda's concert in DC on NPR and MAN the way you can make your guitar sway and moan on the song "Essence"---makes me weak in the knees.....sounds Excellent! Also Lucinda always sounds Phenomenal of course! You all sound so good together...just wanted to let you know that we love you Doug! Stay COOL!, Juli in Houston

THEY WILL ROCK HIM FOREVER.. keep on rockin' us...

"Waterfalls"

hey you!!!!
Myra and I were talking about you the other day and I decided to look you up, lo and behold, here you are in all your glory!! fond memories of laughing my ass off with all the silly songs you used to make up about me and sing over the phone, not to mention the adventures in the pool... I hope this gets to you ! you look great- just about the same, perhaps a little more seasoned!

Hi Doug, I'm the luthier who built the electric resonator that Lucinda played on SNL back in car wheels days. I sent her a new one last year...You're a great artist...a tasty 3- dimensional touch. I wish you well on your solo work, and hope you keep playing with Lucinda. I'd love for you to check out my work. Good luck out there!
Scott, S.B. MacDonald Custom Instruments

Hi! Just wanted to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving and say how much we appreciate all you've done for Tim's music. Good fortune on your tour dates and we'll probably see you at Ned's sometime soon.
Vickie & Tim

would like to purchase your cd, but the security certificate for the site where you post it as being available is expired. Is it available anywhere else?

Hi Doug, I'll pick up your CD (as I have the LW ones and of course, Bill Reveles'). It's been about 7 years since we were goofing in the bar of Mavericks, but I still remember your talent. Glad to see you're still out there playing.
