He ended up playing in a military band which traveled from base to base entertaining the troups and sometimes became the opening act for USO shows... .. Dave Riley met up with Blues legends Sam Carr, Frank Frost, and JohnWeston, and revitalized his career in the mid 90s and they formed a friendship and a music bond which would lead Dave back to the Delta and back into Blues full time.
