My name is Douglas L. Choate Sr. (a.k.a Inotgramps). I'm 52 yrs old, married 31 years, father of two grown children, and a grandfather of five. I live in District Heights, Maryland..a suburb of Washington D.C.. I have many interests and hobbies. Chess, fishing, golf, gambling, gardening, to name a few. Music is my newest interest.

I started writing music in January of 1999. Implusive & obsessive to a degree, I never stopped for a breather until the end of December 2003. Five years non-stop! To this day I've never had a music lesson, but then again, I've never considered myself a performer. I'm not!...I'm a songwriter! Lyrics & melody are my forte. Equally important to me are the "instrumentals" I produce on my multi-track keyboards. In this day & age of technology, we're afforded the luxury of making mistakes while composing. Simply erase a track, ...until you get it right!... (click on Bio to read more)

Bio

Hello !....My name is Douglas L. Choate Sr. I am also known by the pseudonym of............." Inotgramps ". I'm 52 years old, and I write songs. Everything I've done, has been done in the home. I use a keyboard to hash out the chords and notes that are assigned to the words and syllabals of the lyrics. All completed chords, lyrics, and notes are saved on my PC. Once done I proceed to my other multi-tracking keyboard to lay down track 1. When completed, I add more background harmonics on tracks 2-6. A friends edits the song ( fadeout )...burns a copy...and its off to the copyrightoffice. With that task completed, I mail my CD, lyric sheet, and a familiarization cassette off to the 3 different Demo
companies I use. A demo contract is signed through the mail, and in apx 3-4 months...the Demo with lyrics included arrives ! In my playlist I have my 35 instrumentals, and 30 of the same songs with the lyrics included that were produced as professional Demo's. They are listed in the order in which they were copyrighted. Its my hopes to secure music contracts of various sorts through my TAXI submissions for some or all of my songs, instrumentals or Demos, at some point in time. These songs represent 5 years of work from Jan 1999- Dec 2003. I hope you enjoy the music as much as I enjoyed composing it.
