Congratulations to Todd Fritsch, my
buddy and artist, who is currently shooting his first video. Todd recently
walked away with several awards at the European CMA awards, including
"Country Single of the Year" for our song "Small Town
Radio". It also charted Number Four on the Texas music chart, and
charted Thirty-Five on Music Row.
Todd's new single "What's Wrong With Me" will be released
to radio November 13th. Todd, who is one of the hottest true independent
artists on the scene today, feels that this will be his breakout national
single.

Congratulations to Tom Hunnicutt…… Tom, or Captain T as he
is known, has been knocking the walls down on International radio, and
has recently won an award for his work. Way to go Tom!
Doug Spartz has recently charted at number 18 R and R, a fantastic accomplishment
for Doug. The song "Name on the Wall" was written by Doug
and myself and sang as a duet with Todd Fritsch.
I'm excited to have played on the new Mare Winningham CD. Mare, a great
actress who has starred in such movies as Wyatt Earp, Turner and Hooch,
and St. Elmo's fire, as well as TV's the Thornbirds, is a great singer.
I am looking forward to doing many more projects with her.
Congrats to Connie Leigh, for being
the most recorded songwriter I have ever done demos for. Connie has
penned songs for Larry Sparks, Larry Stevenson, Rhonda Vincent, and
many, many more! ALL these songs were demo'ed in Lake Paradise studio,
which is owned by myself and my son, Ian.
My son, Doug Driesel, Jr. is making some great inroads in comedy in
the big city of Los Angeles. You can check him out at
