old dates deleted

today i deleted all older gigs from the venues page- so 2008 dates will be added to the website as they come in. i changed out most photos on the website, replacing them with ones i made w/my keychain digital camera, here in switzerland; but plan to renovate the site when i get home.

we've [the band] recorded several gigs this tour, and have a few more gigs to do/record- then everything will be checked, edited, and possibly a new LIVE "international soul band" cd or ep will be forthcoming from the tour.

new cds ready!

the new solo cds are ready and available from cdbaby- and already selling! click here to see my cdbaby page.

i'm happy these cds are finally released. i should have released them years ago. i've been inspired by all the positive response i've been getting from my solo videos on youtube- which get the most hits of all my videos. it's been an eye opening experience! i am preparing to make more solo cds and videos in the near future- possibly even a solo dvd.

thanks to everyone who encouraged me to release the solo sessions!

greetings from zermatt

we're back at "the pink" for 7 nights- zermatt, switzerland- as we usually are in january. this trip is different because the hotel [which had an old european feel to it] has been totally renovated and modernized [i preferred the several hundred year old funky version] ... but, life is change, n'est pas? we rock on, anyway...

NEW VIDEOS ADDED TO YOUTUBE

http://www.youtube.com/dougduffey

I just edited and added 2 vidoes from the 1998 Louisiana Folklife Festival; I' hired some guy to shoot nthe show- he didnt capture any audio! duh! luckily i'd had the sound crew record the show, so had a cd. i have been editing and trying nto sync the two together- not always easy as the video does not always faccurately follow the audio!
This band was : Me, Jerry Beach, John Simoneaux, Ryan Munsey, David Posey.

well--- at long last i have finally got the 2 solo cds edited- and ready for cdbaby! the cds should hopefully be available online by january 2008. i have spent the past several days editing the cds- choosing the songs for each by genre- and designing the inserts and labels, etc. these songs having been unreleased since i recorded them, although some were on "living the blues" on a german label [out of print]- and some were on cassettes i had made and sold at the club when working on bourbon street. but now, thanks to technology and cdbaby, they will finally come out...to the world... almost 20 years later. i have chosen to put most of the blues/louisiana type stuff on "louisiana" and the more cabaret-ish ballad stuff on "cabaret vieux carre" ... the foto is from the time of the recordings: 1988-1992. a page with more fotos and info will be on my website as soon as the cds are online.

some samples are on the song titles below- click to hear them!
