I'm hitting the road in a couple of weeks to raise money for War Child, Coast-to-coast – 50 cities – ALL PROCEEDS TO WARCHILD. Why? 66% of all war victims are CHILDREN. Shocked like me? War Child helps these children that have been affected by war. Check out the new blog – the whole story is up there. Love to have you be a part of it.
You’ll find a Blog, Tour page and a Bio page. I’ll be blogging daily from the road.
dear Larnell, wonderful to meet you at at Cape Breton drum festival. You play beautifully and you are a gentleman. The tracks on your my space are very inspiring! see you again, peace and blessings from David.
