| General | folk rock music , any good music , children ( the future ) , books , production and edit of music mastering , films , books ; and anything that says the truth about something elusive | | Music | Bob Dylan , Neil Young , Bono , Bruce Sprigsteen , Leonard Cohen , any rock musician or band in that " philosophy " . And " Southern rock " , steel guitar , dobro , mandolin , Hammond organ , Fender rhodes players ; bluegrass , rockabilly .Not necesseraly famous or known , young or old , regardless of their style , all that have that gift of carrying the dream and the facts that concerns us all . But my roots go very far back , to people as Buddy Holly , Hank Williams , Bo Diddley , Elvis , all circularity decades in the history of music : 50's , 60's , 70's , 80's , onwards . Up to U2 , the Smashing Pumpkins , any form of good rock , progressive , soul , up to Eminem . neo punk .I view music under two angles :
My personal songs and tastes , and my open mind as a producer and how a
sound is built into an interesting product . In that respect , I do not judge
at first sight what comes along , I try and understand the feel , background
context , and use high tech computer adapted recording technology , midi
time code , digital processing , etc... In other words , today's tendency .
Also the very complex distribution and promotion problem between so
called " Independents " and " Corporate " mechanical and publishing rights .
But the "feel" has to be the essence , the " soul" , I would not " sell out '" to
anything that would come along . No vulgarity please , it is my only objection . | | Movies | true life stories . and comedies , an art in it's own . gripping stories , with a
" twist in the tail " . Classics , such as " Citizen Kane " , " High Noon " , " The
Bridges of Madison County " , " Do'nt look back " , "East of Eden " , " Slade in flames " , Woodstock " , " Dead of the night " , " JFK " , " Nixon " , " Pour mille millions de dollars " , etc... Mainly Tom Hank films , Brian Dennehy films , James Wood films , some Robert de Niro films , Martin Scorcese films ,
Steven Spielberg films , and ... Jerry Lewis , Olivier de Funes , W.C. Fields , the Marx brothers , Laurel and Hardy , Ronald Atkins , Leslie Nielsen , Steve Martin for the comedies . You know the style of films I mean , etc... substance films for the rest .
A better quality video of Dave will be added soon to this page . The uploaded video track is a " rough" cut , filmed
" live " in Holland in club .
See the promotional DVD
on the " photos " .
| | Television | interesting documentaries on any topic that concerns us all , no " bland " Hollywood money orientated " soaps " , and anything good to see ; many " series "
of interesting nature from the U.S. are unfortunately unavailable here . Let
me know if you can tip me on any that stand out from the " run of the mill " :
in other words , series , chat shows , music programs , etc... with substance .
thanks .

FM and Internet independent radios , ( I have had several interviews on them ) , topics on the music industry and it's evolution ; ( I am busy writing two other books around these themes ) .

Young , James Wood , Brian Dennehy , Tom Hank , Ed Sullivan , Brian Dennehy , and the many others , all of those that reflect the pulse of our times in their art and activities .
