Bio

"Muscian at home at the grange" - By Cynthia Taggart

Doug Reed's Prayer is simple: "May you have food and shelter, a saddle for your head. May you be years in heaven, before the devil knows you are dead."

He hears the words to music no yet written, but he'll write it soon. Doug, 62, knows he can now. He filled a CD with his words and music this year and people are buying it.

"I'm probably not the best singer in the world. I'm rough," Doug says, smiling shyly. "I like to tell a story. If you don't tell a story, it's not a song."
His tenor is then and occasionally wavy and fits the cowboy lyrics he likes to write. His songs belong in a Roy Rogers movie, in a gathering of tired cowboys around a campfire, at a grange hall dance on Sat. nights.

“Will you meet me tonight in the moonlight, at the end of the old dusty lane? If you can’t come tonight come tomorrow. I can’t wait to see you again,” Doug sings in waltz time. It’s easy to visualize men in white shirts and string ties and women in dresses full from petticoats.
