Today's guest is Douglas Ray Jaffe. An author, poet, and modern-day philosopher whose words challenge conventional thinking and offer profound insights into the human experience. His work delves deep into themes of existence, consciousness, and the intricate connections that bind us all.
His book, “Who Is Douglas Ray? Lyrics, Writings, and Poems,” is available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Who-Douglas-Ray-Lyrics-Writings/dp/B08QLMR2WD
His musings were recognized by a friend for their poetry and lyrical possibilities. Douglas Ray Jaffe teamed up with award-winning producer, Craig Brandwein, to set his lyrics and musings to music.
The Douglas Ray Jaffe Project is an expansive undertaking. It is a collaborative project, seeking musicians and voices that fit each song and its sensibilities, regardless of genre. In the spirit of groups like Broken Social Scene, Animal Collective, The Six One Five Collective, and Moonsville Collective, The Douglas Ray Jaffe project is an experiment as a musical collective. Three songs have already been released: “Gullability”,“For Rachel”, and “One More”.
Each song is a distinctly different treatment. The EP is called NO BOUNDS and is available on Spotify among other streaming sites... https://open.spotify.com/artist/7nPKSPEaAlfEQMyikAl99m .

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
