| Music has always played a prominent
role in Doug Fleming's life. He launched his professional
music career early when, in fifth grade, he landed his
first gig as lead guitarist in a local band, "The
Peacemakers." Besides playing in and writing pop-style
songs for Seattle-based bands throughout his youth, Fleming
regularly participated in school musical events including
a lead in "The Mikado"
and minor roles in two other Gilbert & Sullivan operettas.
As a student at University of California Santa Cruz,
CA, he began writing pop tunes in earnest. In the mid-1980's,
he returned to his native Seattle hirer he continued
to play guitar with regional groups, write music and
pursue an early childhood education certificate and teaching
credential. |

In the early 1990's, Fleming landed
a teaching position in Seattle's Head Start program.
Inspired by the need to jazz up the curriculum, he began
writing and performing music that taught kids while they
had fun singing and dancing. His songs were a big hit.
After almost a decade of teaching and writing tunes for
his class, Fleming decided in the year 2000 to take the
next step and cut his first CD-"Little Square Wheels." In
quick succession, two more discs were released in the
next three years: "Shufflin' Farm" in 2001 & "In
Our Circle" in 2003. |

| Released in October of 2004, "Shake,
Shake, Shake" is another in a line of rockin', fun,
dance & smile inducing music. In addition to the
usual movement/interactive tunes that lace all of Fleming's
CD's, we have a little fire safety in "Stop, Drop, & Roll"...a
little parent/child struggle in "I'm The One Who
Wears The Clothes (So I Should Have Some Say)"....the
eternal fountain of youth for your inner child in "House
Of Balls".....a bit of Irish Flavor in "Natalie"....to
bathtime fun in "Soap Bubble Geometry"!!!
There's even a song about Gilligan's Island! Where else
are you going to find that?!! |
