President of the Birmingham Opera Company and Vice President of the Southern Regional Opera Company. Her mother hosted a live jazz radio and television program for the NBC affiliate. .. ..

     Barbara, it was so nice of you to friend us. We are kind of new to myspace and can certainly use more friends. We hope you like our song and video? We are trying to get a message out to all of our elected officials. So yes, we are trying to relay a message and we hope everyone gets it including  We The People. It's a call to Americans to wake up and smell the glove. We can't just keep walking around the basement looking for the stage in Cleveland. Enough for now, stop by again and please let us know when you are performing live. I noticed your new CD is on itunes. I'm going to have to download the entire CD judging from what I've previewed. Take care

    Hi Barbara.How are you?. NYC has been great for me lately....so many shows, so many parties, concerts, i was interviewed last week on totalrock.com and that went all over the world. I live a blessed life. I'm aware of that and don't take that for granted. Myspace has just got so big for me...7,300 friends...that i feel like I've lost touch with so many friends..i feel bad about that. I added about 30 new pictures to the end of my picture section tonight of stuff I've done in the past 10 days. I have 6,000 pictures now on my computer that are all pretty recent..and so many with interesting famous musicians, celebs, friends....it's what happens when you live a very public life in NYC.
    I have myspace guilts right now :>
    Last week i started doing facebook. I find it an easier way to communicate with people, though no one can really find me there...my name is Dave Lawrence...but there are a lot of people with that same name on Facebook.
    I'm "Electric Dave" to so many people. Lately people have been pushing me to write a book, not that I think who or what I am is anything all that interesting, but evidently other people do.....I just call it "Life".
    Who has time to write a book when I'm so busy living it?
    How have things been by you? Sorry I havent been in touch. What's new in your world?
    peace, love, music, and a whole bunch of other cool things,
    "Electric" Dave Lawrence
