Doug Smith's new documentary "There It Is" produced by KACV TV in Amarillo, Texas, dives into the life of one of the most driven, inspired, awesome, and creative pianist/composers in the southwest!

This double disc set includes one DVD, mixed in 5.1 surround sound, and one audio CD that includes 3 bonus tracks, "Passion", "Moon Over Quitaque", and "Amazing Grace". Personal interviews with Doug in his studio at home, and with friends, contemporaries, and family members that are key witnesses to his personal life as well as influences in his music, his recording, and his very unique and original approach to piano performance.

The performance setting is beautiful as it documents Smith performing, as he put it....."These are the songs that are the closest to my heart" and the piano is a 9' concert Steinway Grand, and as he put it....."The 9' Steinway is such a sweet and perfect instrument.....when I sit down and address her she responds, reacts, reflects, and obeys my every command and always rises to a higher dimension of pure piano bliss that never ceases to amaze me...... In my mind, the most elegant, versatile, completely awesome, beautiful, powerful, and prestigious instrument on planet earth!"

For all you folks who listen and love Doug Smith's music, this is a collection of works and music and a very close, personal, and real human glance into the life of a pianist and original composer with a huge view of a very large West Texas Horizon. "The piano sings its own song......"
