Currently performing in Southern Oregon with, "Mercy (featuring Lynda Morrison)", "Broadway Phil and The Shouters". I also play guitar for Blues Hall of Fame artist Darrell Mansfield when he tours the Pacific Northwest.
It’s been well over a year since I last recorded something new my friend, but it’s that time again. I posted a new original song called “Forever No Restraints.” It's the frist song on the Myspace music player.
I refer to it as cosmic blues.....but blues it ain't. I used to do this song as a short solo acoustic piece, but I decided to turn it into a lengthy electric guitar jam and let my freak flag fly!
It has a strong Hendrix vibe, but is uniquely me….. Please drop by my page and have a listen! I also posted a video of me doing the song as I recorded it, so even if the music player isn't working, you can check the song out in the video.
Hey Dave, how's it going? I haven't spent much time on myspace lately but I make my rounds every once in a while:) I just watched your "Red House" video....awesome, great playing! Hope everything is going great for you and your family! ~Mark
WOW I have just been listening to "I believe I'm in love" what a Great tune Dave! Awesome guitar!!!!!!!!! It's a rather grey and dull night here on Notodden, but this Nice Rockin tune really made my day!!!
I just wanted to let you and your friends know about my latest project.
BUCKS FOR A CURE
What would you pay to crush Cancer? What would you pay to crush Alzheimer's?
GO TO CD BABY AND DOWNLOAD "THE SUN AND THE SEA" AND YOUR CONTRIBUTION WILL GO TO CANCER AND ALZHEIMER'S RESEARCH.
It doesn't mater if you love the song or hate it – JUST DOWNLOAD IT – because every buck brings us closer to a cure. With the click of a mouse you can help fund research that could put an end to these devastating diseases.
