I really have no idea where I'm going next with something. I don't know anything about theory. It's all new to me every time I play".[6]
Personal life
Doughty attended Beechen Cliff School in Bath, Somerset, England between 1977 and 1982. He is currently based in Chicago, Illinois, United States with his wife.
