    Checking in for a refresher on Rainbowland Music.
    Adjusting my hearing aids to better catch the lyrics is
    helping. I’m sure better speakers would help,too. However, as I am now 7 months away from turning 90
    your sound and lyrics are good and getting “gooder” as a famous lyricist puts it…..the rhythms, beat, chords, and energy in your music keep “dem bones, dem dry bones” of mine moving and that’s VERY important. Thanks for making me want to kick up my heels and dance, dance,dance…..love, Mom

    Just checking in…Inner Light is filling me with
    your musical expressiveness about life in general – especially your current feelings about the planet and humankind. Wail ’till you meet your new niece, 3 week old Evie Rose. Humankind will blossom a bit in your
    estimation, I predict. Can’t wait for your newest album. Great Grandmother Ann

    Hello Doug. At first I would like to introduce myself.My name is Jonas Kazlauskas and I’m 15 years old music lover and records collector from Lithuania / Europe /. I do not know if I found the right place and people,but I’m searching for members of 80’s band ELIXIR . I collect mostly 45 rpms. Local/less known/ unsigned records . All 70’s and 80’s genres. classic Punk / New Wave / Industrial . If I’m not mistaken ELIXIR had one 45 rpm out with original songs back in early 80’s and I desperately searching this record.So maybe you sitll have a spare copy of it ???? OK.That’s all for now All The best and sorry for my poor english.

    Sincerely

    Jonas Kazlauskas

    P.S Please replay to my email if it’s possible. Thanks

    Hi Doug,
    I found some of your planetary mantra recordings and wanted to ask a question about pronunciation.
    I have been writing a book on these types of mantras and am almost finished.
    But I think I may have the pronunciation incorrect on the last syllable for each planetary mantra.

    Specifically the “ya” syllable after Suryaaya, Mangalaaya, Shukraaya, Candraaya…

    I had imagined that the “ya” sound was with a long A sound, as in “Yay.”

    But as I listened to your versions I hear only a short vowel sound, as in “Yah.”
    Om Surya-yah namah om.
    Om Shukra-yah namah om.
    Om Mangalaa-yah namah om…..

    My impression was that they were spoken like:
    Om Shukra-yay namah om.
    Om Surya-yay namah om.
    Om Mangalaa-yay namah om…..

    Any insight would be appreciated.
    Sincerely,
    Stephen Benton

    Hey Doug Kingsley Rice. I’m still enjoying your music and recommending it far’n’wide. Thank you for sharing.? Send my greetings to our friend Molly. I continue to value the priceless music she introduced me to in the Gold Country. As you know, all that glitters is not gold. Your music is a rainbow of lasting peace.

    So much music and so little time. New to these neck of the woods? Doug has got the answer for you: 60 for 60. What does Doug do? He does it all. Pick your poison: 5 albums of Greatest Hits: Ballads, Rockers, Metal, Epic, Contemplative.

    For those of us that still relate to the album format, what we know is that an individual song is affected by it’s surroundings. Doug has chosen to give new focus to these songs in a new format: music by type. Brand new to Doug’s music? The titles tell you what you need to know and where to go.

    Greg Lake once said that Keith Emerson had musicality in abundance. But I’m here to tell you he’s not the only one. Doug is guilty of this crime also. Over and over.

    So the songs have new “Shine” in a new setting with new shimmer. Hop on board the Doug express to musical nirvana.

    I’ve watched you grow and develop your music, son. I’m pleased and so happy with what you’ve done with your life. Keep on keeping on bringing joy to so many people. “By our children we are taught” is certainly true for me. Thank you and love always. Mom

    The new additions are very good – Schubertians & barbershop quartetsters especially. Cath was great at your birthday party at Amigos – so animated!! I loved the keyboard interlude featuring Jerri, too. And, of course, you and Morning Star, the guitar playing songsters extrordinaire, make the whole place rock. Happy birthday and congratulations. Love, Mom

    Thank you! Thank you!

    First, for going to Barrington for Carol’s celebration. Your presence was an important addition to the family gathering. Second, the ” Son of Banjo Man ” CD is perfect for us old timers. We know most of the songs and can sing along. The banjo medley is just toe-tapping fun. Reminds me of your Dad. He must have been very proud of you.

    Happy New Year to you and Catherine.
    Love, Alice and Reg

    Doug,
    Just finished checking out your website, nice job! I especially enjoyed your video “Elixir – Hold the Line” a classic time capsule in so many ways and your photos illustrating your wonderful life been shared with music and friends.
    Well I think it is time to drop in the Songster Friends, soundtrack sampler C/D in the red sports car, crank it up and go for a ride, jump in.
    Take care my friend,
    Dave

    Doug, Hope this gets to you. We wanted to write and say how GREAT it was to see you in Barrington last weekend. Thank you, thank you, thank you for making the trip. It meant a lot to all of us. It was just so wonderful to reconnect. Art said he didn’t have a postal address for you so we could try this. Just know we are still thinking about you too and will continue to be in touch. And, now I have a great new place to listen to some fantastic music. Hope all is going well. Love, “Cousin” Emily

    Hey Dougie!

    I’ve just been perusing the site for the past hour and a half or so. It’s absolutely amazing!!! I love it!! I’ve watched about half of the videos and Lauren and I are definitely going to make it up to one of Star People’s concerts the first chance we get. Again, the site is fantastic! I’m adding it to my bookmarks. Love you.
