It is Monday and nothing ever happens on a Monday, though today I have play practice. I will be running the sound, or helping anyways, for the upcoming production of "Crimes of the Heart" that will be at the C.C.P.A.'s Fox Theater Playhouse. It will run Friday, Saturday and Sunday both this weekend and next so you should probably get out and support the arts. the weekend was fun I headed down to Springfield to perform at the Nathan P. Murphy night club. Also took a turn playing songs on Saturday at the Holiday Music on the Square.
Where it began and where it will end are left to the unknown. Lunch With Doug has been on an official viral internet outbreak since March 23, 2017, but the roots are planted much deeper. Doug Harper began making videos of his band and their adventures in 1996 and later building on that by promoting a then non-existent local music scene in his hometown of Nevada, Missouri. The Local Ear Underground Entertainment Guide began simply because no mainstream coverage of local music was happening. The live music boom of the 60s, 70's and early 80's had since crashed regionally and something new was on the horizon. A printed fan-zine was created but with the power of the internet it became obvious that to get to the masses it was going to take more technology and less paper. Much later.... Lunch With Doug was officially born on March 23, 2017 as a re-entry into the hearts of the community after internet trends changed and the music industry crashed. This time it was about more than just music but with a heart for the arts.
