Doug Rickert

My musical life's story (very short version)

My first experiences with music go back to playing a trumpet in Elementary School around 1966. I moved from that to piano and organ and was a music student in High School and at Dekalb Community College. During that time I was working on beginning recording skills at my home studio in Decatur GA and at the Jazzology studio that used to be in Decatur, GA in the 1970's. I met my life long love and wife, Janice while at Dekalb College and we spent many years as church musicians at Woodlawn Baptist in Decatur, GA We are now the proud owners of Nothing But You Multi-Media Services, LLC in Duluth, GA Janice plays drums and I play keys and guitar. I am also the sound engineer, photographer and videographer. We are on Facebook under Nothing But You Music and have a Youtube channel under my name, Doug Rickert. We also sell our music at www.nothingbutyoumusic.com
