  • Promotion of acoustic guitarist, Doug Smith
    • I designed and maintain his Official website on the internet at http://DougSmithGuitar.com which includes a biography page, a complete discography page, a page of recent photos and links to RealAudio files to listen to many of Doug's songs, a list of Doug's guitar tunings for all of his songs, a concert information page, and links that Doug requested. I also designed and maintain http://ThreeTogether.net which is the homepage for the trio that Doug performs with.
