Doug Belvin was born in Silverton, Colorado during the gold rush of 1864. Contrary to popular belief Doug is not now, nor has he ever been, a member of the Communist Party, no matter what Senator McCarthy claimed.  As a former member of the North Texas State "Beat the Clock" lab band, Doug Belvin has seen more than his share of musical prods (also know as prodigies). And as a foreman at the Double Bar Ranch in Butte, Montana he has seen more than his share of cattle prods, but we won't air our dirty laundry here.  Doug always has a smile on his face. We think it has something to do with a terrifying childhood incident involving a disturbed clown, but we're not really sure.  Few people know that Doug Belvin is also an inventor. He has invented several household items including the plastic scrubby that is so popular in modern kitchens, and flypaper. He is also an incredible chef, having invented Hamburger Helper Skillet Lasagna, and Choclatey Ovaltine.  Doug's parents were very supportive of his academic desires, and by pulling some strings fulfilled his early wish of attending a prestigious all-girl Catholic boarding school in Trenton, New Jersey. That is where he started his first band "The Swinging Richards" named after his close friend and Yahtzee partner Richard M Nixon. It was while he was playing in "The Swinging Richards" that he took up the trumpet. His original instrument, the harp, was too heavy to carry from gig to gig, and it just didn't sound quite right on Pharaoh's Dance.  Doug had a close call a few months ago when his cell phone almost became permanently embedded in the side of his head. But with some quick thinking and a little plastic surgery everything turned out okay. At 71, Doug Belvin is the oldest member of the Party Crashers, so the next time you see him..........speak up.
