The Local Ear

It is time to get you all updated on what is new in the life of me, your good friend “Dangerous” Doug Harper. It has been awhile since I really gave you all a really good and detailed update. Now it is time to do that, by getting right down to business. My main project right now is Bru Java at the Maranatha Christian Fellowship. It is going very well and growing every week. Come out and visit Bru Java on Thursday nights from 7 until 11 PM, we always have lots of fun. Bru Java features music, food, and great people. You already know about the Local Ear, but stop by at our new web page at www.localear.tk. Between taking care of marketing for several businesses, these and other websites that I update, playing music, Church activities, and other work obligations, I stay very active and rarely sleep (seriously), but it is all worth it. I love getting to have that moment of satisfaction each time I get to produce great products, great music, and make great friendships through Jesus Christ...

if prayer should be allowed in school, then should not all religions be allowed in school as well? Is it truly the "Christian" way to force people to follow based on laws of the government? Isn't "Christianity" a choice that people make, not a set of laws they are forced to follow? in the light of columbine, is it not true that every person is a product of some system? and if so, why would people choose to follow a system that envokes segregation (homosexuals, and other religions), conservative government (which means it is not a choice, thus just as invalid as sinning), and has produced countless murders over the centuries in the name of everything from holy land to God "blessing" OUR troops/murders and OUR country, as if God would even choose any country to "side with" at all. If God blesses "our" troops and "our" country, then God should be blessing iraq, afghanistan, panama, japan,...

Hi, Blues Fans, This was a good gig week. We had the usual full house at Mo & Waldo's on Friday, and had several folks jam with us. There was Jeff on a Strat, Kevin on trumpet, Harmonica John, our very good pal, Adrienne Lee on mouth harp, and Debbie on tambourine. No vocalists came forward, so the only break I got was when Fat Daddie sang "Hey, Joe"!!! Fat Daddie, old boy, you'd better keep your day job. Speaking of Fat Daddie's day job, Barb and I just got a new (to us) car through his salesmanship. Bruce needs to work with Fat Daddie, too, as he broke down we hear, and couldn't be with us on keyboards on Friday or Saturday. We missed you, buddy. And, you missed all the pretty young thangs!! What no one missed were those not ready for primetime jokes of yours!!!! Saturday we played the blues at Simon's on the Waterfront in Hermann. This is the second gig for us there. I'm telling you, this is a club you want to try to make sometime. T...
