All recording was completed before Doug contracted Covid-19.
Following the release of Walking in the Father’s Love in 1982, Doug released several cassette projects. Most of those were recorded on 4-track or 8-track machines, and the quality was less than ideal. Many of these are songs from those projects and a few that were performed, but never recorded. Second Time Again is a collection of re-mixed and re-mastered recordings of songs previously released in 2021 as Years Ticking By.
This album was recorded in 2019 and 2020. Doug played all the instruments (acoustic guitars, electric guitars, bass guitars, lap steel guitar, pianos and keyboards, percussion), sang the vocals, except as noted below, and programmed all the music samples on this recording. Most of these songs were released digitally in October 2021 as Doug recovered from Covid. Doug feels that his hearing had not fully recovered in those early months and decided to re-mix and re-master the recordings. The work was completed in 2025 – louder to -11db LUFS and higher fidelity.
The dark winter of 2021. On December 28, 2020, Doug contracted Covid-19 and was hospitalized on January 1, 2021 for 5 months (147 days). He was on a ventilator for 46 days. After a tracheotomy, four antibiotics, two collapsed lungs, and a prognosis of “Grim,” he was saved by the grace of God through the prayers of hundreds of people pleading for his healing. His wife, Mary, (and friend Mary Katherine) organized the prayer meetings. Mary wrote regular updates to keep people informed of his progress. When he returned home, after gaining sufficient strength over three months, he completed recording the vocal for “One Like You” with Julie Wuertz and released the recordings.
Doug thanks the following: I wish to thank Mary for her undying love, her support, and her prayers, Evan for becoming the man he is becoming (now a 2LT in the U.S. Army), Koen and Gwen for making me laugh, Rick Lindholtz, Mike Huber, Dean Christensen, Byron Spradlin, Harvey Makos, Mervin Tapsfield, Kevin Moore and the Friday AM Prayer Boys for their prayers, Theresa Landorf, Mary Heil, Mary Katherine, and all the Family (Hanks side, Marangio side, and all in-laws)) for their prayers, Leanne Gurmin for the Sapphire Blvd. welcome home parade, Captain Rich Toll for coming through the door (twice), Judy Bach, Sarah Bonomo, Kent Tucker, and Melissa for putting on PPE and visiting me in the hospital, Nathan Brown for his poetry, and to hundreds of people throughout the world who prayed for my healing. To Julie Wuertz and Sheryl Briggs for singing. Thank you. All glory to YHWH forever and ever. Someday, I will sing these songs in his presence.
For the recording techies, Doug’s acoustic guitar recording chain: Either a Rode NT-1 or a Shure KSM44 into a Focusrite ISA One. Then, all processing was old school: Minimal EQ (usually high pass at 100Hz, cuts around 380hz (box) and 1.2khz (honk), and a shelf at 8khz) and a Fairchild 670.
