West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, are all favorite areas to which Douglas returns each year. Spot feels that music, and it's surrounding influences may be used as an alternative to drugs and alcohol. His presentations are to the point, refreshingly honest, and not always couched in what most would consider 'politically correct' terms. Spot has worked with teens ranging in social levels from leadership level kids to incarcerated felony offenders. Using drums and other indigenous instruments in the hands of workshop attendees, Douglas teaches how music can express emotions in a variety of ways.
Racial prejudice is a pigment of the imagination.
Douglas also has a presentation series that discusses the dangers and ignorance of racism, using musical instruments in the hands of audience members. Seminar attendees play drums along with Spot, and learn that different rhythms do go together. Using the flute as a tool to demonstrate the various views on the world that all people have, Spot demonstrates that reality is perceived differently by all peoples, and that no viewpoint is without merit. He also makes available classroom presentations on Native American music, and provides a Native American flute program as an alternative to other wind-instrument programs provided at the elementary school level. There are also flutes available at a very low cost to schools in addition to an instructional video teaching Native flute skills to elementary level students.
