Davetone - Guitar, keys, guitar synth, computer, and other instruments. I call on many of my great and talented friends for the talents I lack and they excell in.
Influences
I am influenced by everyone I come in contact with, but mostly by people with loving, creative and kind spirits, and by people who are open to the unique differances and qualities diversity brings to our culture. I love reading Jack Kornfields "Buddha's Little Instruction Book" and the teachings of the Dalai Lama, as well as all the great musical influences like Pat Metheny, Egberto Gismonte, Hosam Ramsey, Duane Allman, Igot Stravinsky, Aurther C. Clark, Gregory Benford, and Orson Scott Card, Greg Bear, Jack Kornfield, John Scofield, T. Monk, Chick Corea, Wayne Shorter, John McGlaughlin, Alan Holdsworth, Pat Martino and hundreds of other beautiful humans.
I was deeply moved by Jeff Buckleys version of "Halleluja" on the Grace CD.
Check out the other location for 4 more tunes at www.myspace.com/thedavelynchgroup . I'll put up more about our history and future as time permits!
Sounds Like
Pat Metheny, John Scofield, Mike Stern, Herbie Hancock, Gary Burton, Alan Holdsworth, Jeff Beck, Duane Allman, John McGlaughlin, Jaco, Marcus, and a whole bunch of other great artists.
Hi all, I'm Dave, ...I play electric jazz, specifically guitar (many different kinds...I love them, fun toys), and have been working with some of the finest players around. I love writing, arranging, and performing in the local venues and private events. I have been fortunate to meet some of the finest men and women a person could hope to meet; personally, professionally, artistically, spiritually. I've worked in this community for over 30 years as a tech, instructor, and product specialist for a major musical instrument manufacturer/distributor. Now I own my own business and have been blessed with a great crew and great customers, and not so blessed with a leaky roof!
We are embarking on the fabrication of some new guitar designs with some exotic woods and construction ideas, as well as some nifty new products I hope to introduce at the 2008 NAMM Show; we shall see. ...I'll keep you posted. ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~.
Hope you are enjoying the new tune In Wonderland, written for someone very special to me, based around a percussion solo recorded here by Cynthia Rutherford, a tremendously gifted artist. It's a direction I plan on taking with future recordings, after this batch of DVD productions and Screamin's CD project. ~~~~~~~~~~ I do love the sound and feel of how this music flows, like love, it has its ups and downs... It's also amazing to me to still be so facinated with the guitar as an instrument. Every time I pick one up I can find a new way around a tune, or just a set of changes, or a way to squeeze a note a little differently, make it sing or cry...and they're just so cool to play with!
~~~ On the trample thing, and thanks for your inquiries, it's relaxing and I totally enjoy it; the weight, the pressure, it's a heck of a workout too, in its own way.... If you want to ask me details about it, history, research, whatever, I will be happy to fill you in from my perspective. I had a great time working with HBO, and I do hope they call again. The pay was nice and the crew excellent to work with. I have done a bit of research on the subject; Dr. William Rossi has a rather interesting book that delves into it, and have found some history on this area of human behavior. Apparently, there are tens of thousands of enthusiasts out there just as interested and curious as I, and have been since recorded history. ~~~~~Moving on~~~~~Due to events in our world, and the mishandling of our country by the current representation, I have interests in running for public office, primarily because there are troubles in our government that are very damaging to our future and security, that are NOT being addressed. I think I can be helpful. My intent is to bring tough issues to the table in hope that our current elected officials will at least try to straighten out this mess. Yes, I believe 9/11 was an inside job. WTC 7 is the place to start. Had our own government not swept away the forensic evidence so quickly, the proof would have been all too apparent. We might want to ask Mr. Guiliani about that. Would he take a lie detector test?
I may be changing the format of this site as current events in the world around me, politically, seems to be heading in a direction not economically sound for the average American citizen. Being the patriot that I am, I am going to get involved and see if my thoughts and ideas about a more constructive, versus a destructive, approach might be better for the country and my district than is currently in the works.
To be quite honest, I think George and his team are seriously blowing it, and they seem to have a nice plan for a, as G.H.W. Bush put it, "New World Order"..at a cost of...um how many dead??? Oops. Not a good way to make friends.
There have been a few recent publications I have found of interest and are currently reading: U.S. v. Bush by Elizabeth de la Vega, The 911 Commission Report, Against All Enemies by Richard Clark, and this new one by Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson, and John Conyers, " George W. Bush versus the U.S. Constitution, Downing Street memos and Deception, Manipulation, Torture, Retribution, and Cover ups in the Iraq War and Illegal Domestic Spying". Watch the videos 911 Press For Truth, Loose Change, Unconstitutional, 911 in Plane Site. This all looks like pretty heady stuff, but I feel needs a look at and scrutinized for truth and errors. We need truth.
Some of you may want to check out this subject, the NAFTA Super Highway, as I think it would pose a real threat to our National Security and destroy our Ports economically as most of the freight would be rerouted through Mexico, bypassing out harbors, Longshoreman/ trucking industry as well as a massive land grab by corporate interests. I think we are being screwed, and not in the good way: See www.nascocorridor.com or http://www.thenewamerican.com/artman/publish/article_4088.shtml
Beyond that...let's see, One attracts more bees with honey than with vinegar, a policy motto I prefer.
Make friends and music , not war.
Peace will never be achieved if one is forced to stare down the muzzle of a gun.
Our government believes we can't handle the truth. They grossly underestimate Americans.
Cheers,
Dave ~~~~~ Oh, my new Congressional page !!! www.DaveLynchForCongress.org ~~~ check it out, send me your thoughts and I'll try to respond to as many as I can; pros-cons-ideas, whatever. but if you engage in rage and wank, then I can't and won't discuss anything with you.
