Doug contacted the Christian Music Author- Paul Davis- who resides in England- in early September 2005.
Mr. Davis listened to MABLE'S CHRISTMAS (2005) and wrote in the guest book on this site:
"Well done, Doug and Amy on doing a good job on 'Mabel's Christmas'.   It is a wonderful heartwarming Christmas ballad.
It is inspiring and inspired. I hope it does well!..."- Paul Davis, NCM www.newchristianmusic.co.uk
He offered (for the regular fee) to put the song on his NCM#26 Promotional Disc
which was released to industry professionals all across Europe on the first of Nov. 2005. MABLE'S CHRISTMAS; Doug's top 10 hit (peak #7) on the NCM Chart!
