    the cd release at the Cavern was exquisite. I cannot listen to Doug’s music enough. His set of the Psalms at dada last year was the highlight of the year. I am really hoping things take off for young Doug.

    Make sure to give yourself plenty of time to see the Mueck scupltures. Trust me … you will lose yourself for hours. Amazing work.
