#LunchWithDoug the Community Follower

Happy Thanksgiving! I am thankful to all of you that are a part of the Lunch With Doug world!

#musicanwithkids blog #1 - A new course has set sail. What do you do in these uncertain times? Well I joined a rock band! If everything else fails, rock 'n roll will still be a thing. I recently failed at marriage but have two amazing kids from it, and I want to make sure they get to see what I have spent the bulk of my life working on. Its hard to hide music from them when they are around. Rylee likes the drums and dancing more than singing right now, and colton like the bass best but he mostly plays video games so I imagine him playing some kind of electronic music maker at some point. Since I recently played my last solo acoustic show locally it is just time to change it up a bit.

Well as you may know 36,000 robots were purchased in 2018 from overseas and shipped to the U.S. and this number continues to grow each year. As robots like delivery, vacuums, mowers, and even cooking robots like Flippy (shown in photo) are becoming more, and more common place in our daily lives. Flippy a robot cook. Photo courtesy of Crowd Fund Insider. Currently there are about 200 robots per 10,000 workers in the U.S. ranking 7th in the world. Korea is #1 with approx. 774 per 10,000 workers, almost double the #3 Germany with 338 per 10K. South Korea has only recently dropped to #2 with approx. 631 robots to every 10,000 workers. But don't worry about loosing your job as the companies that are using robots have statisticaly also hired more people as the productivity and revenue increased.

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. By 1998 using an internet journal, internet web log or homepage as sites like his were called back then (before the term blog was coined in the spring of 1999) he unknowingly started one of the earliest music scene websites in the nation. The Local Ear Underground Entertainment Guide began simply because no mainstream coverage of local music was happening. The live music boom of the 60's, 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 goin...

Hey there, I write to you today in hopes I can get you all onboard as followers at my Bandcamp page. What is Bandcamp? You may be asking. It is a web-space and app dedicated to independent music. Right now Bandcamp is one of the most popular places for indie artists and bands (such as me) to be able to get their music out to the world in a logistical way for this type of artists. I have made my Bandcamp space as unique as possibly can from all of the other social media places that I have content at, and the ones I use frequently. Also Bandcamp as a whole has set their page up to be all about audio music and a few communication tools. Not all of my albums and singles go to the major digital outlets. This is mostly controlled by me but sometimes for reasons out of my control, there are places that my music does not get to. This is ok for the most part, but another element of distribution that can be out of my control is how fast a digital outlet will get the release available t...

Hey all! Just wanted to get your attention with the word Ewok! Did it work?

Hang in there and keep on keeping on! - Doug

The venue has and will continue in taking extra precautions to keep the establishment sanitized well above the state cleanliness requirements, and may put an attendance cap in effect if proper social distancing becomes a challenge. "This is a trialing situation right now in our country, and we are set to be part of the solution" a Roadhouse spokesperson said during a recent phone call interview. Portions of the event will also be made viewable on the venue Facebook page, for anyone that would like a virtual experience of tonight's performance.

Hey all! The NEW episode is here!  LWD Episode #259

Hey all, Doug here. Just wanting to bring some clarification to the last few TikTok videos that have rolled out from yours truly.... #LunchWithDoug. It's a TikTok social experiment. Let's see how it is going so far. The latest was me combing my hair, since, well, I have fallen subject to the TikTok phenomenon. Before that was my son Colton waking up and eating cereal. Again, TikTok phenomenon. Ok, then there was the video before that.... Me going to McDonald's to apparently to get french fries based on the gif that was stamped on the video. This has been the most popular so far this week, and is in the top three on the Lunch with Doug TikTok page. Do you like Mario? That was the topic of the next video with game music and featuring my children asking if you like Mario. Now for the most creative of the videos that I have posted to the Lunch With Doug TikTok page. This one features me walking around, and the camera is angled to my feet. Then it shows some butt...
