The Doug The Bug index of songs
～Music to spark one’s curiosity about the unknown～

”The Oval Windows” was an obscure rock band in the mid 1980’s at New York Medical College named after the Oval Window; the hole in the skull that leads to the vestibule of the ear and where sound and music first enters the auditory system. The band made two small public performances, went on no tours, had no albums, and had about $20 total income in its entire career of about 6 months.
The Oval Windows were: Doug Berger on vocals and lead guitar, Jim Marino simultaneously on bass, drums, and synthesizer, and Naomi Chiam on Flute. Bob Kornberg was occasionally the back-stage hand… we think. 
Jim (the human orchestra) Marino was like Ray Manzarek reincarnated. Jim was instrumental in making sure the beat was not a musical catastrophe, and systematized our thinking about scales and song structure. 
Naomi had an uncanny way of mesmerizing both the audience as well as her fellow band members. She made her flute flow-in perfectly with the mood of the songs, no matter how unconventional and eerie we made the them.
Other performers on the songs in the Doug The Bug index include:
-Midori Hosaka on synthesizer for “I Remember Those Days” (tracked-over a solo recording by Doug and finally voice-dubbed over).

“Sea of Tears” and “Mountains & Shore” were recorded on the Long-Island seashore with the surf in the background.

All lyrics and music in Doug The Bug was written by Doug Berger except:
-"Doug The Bug": lyrics, music, and performance by Lori Colyer. 
-“Love So Real”: lyrics for the verses & chorus by Charles Stevens.
-“My Secret Place”: lyrics for the verses & chorus by Charles Stevens.

※	Special spiritual powers came in the mail regularly from guitarist of mystery extraordinaire Chuck Kershenblatt. 
※	Lori Colyer was the originator of the Doug The Bug motif at Manhattanville College, and a great musician in her own right. Legend has it that the Oval Window’s music gave her special inspiration to go to medical school.
