Influences
My Bohemian bloodline. My father non-stop singing of Red River Valley. Kent Aubry who showed me my first guitar chords. My wife Lori who patiently puts up with me.
My independent artist friends bless me with their influence, please let me have Allison Sattinger bless you back.

This site is for my original music and prose, plus continuous shout outs of my passion... Musicians.
I have been blessed with a great group of readers... all be them a few shy ones and never comment. Here is a piece I wrote for them a while back:
My readers range,
A love Ninja to an angry man
Some live in
Stages of love decay and rebirth.
They are
Brothers,
Sisters,
Mothers
and Fathers.
From families great and small.
Some touch new born flesh
And others touch senility.
I write for myself
But with them in mind.
My readers sing
To themselves or full concerts.
Some live out
Stages of the life I dream.
They are
Writers
Travelers
Artists
And performers
From distances east to west.
Some touch with a lyric
And others with their voice.
I write mostly alone
But with them inside.
My readers love
Or they wouldn't be here.
Some I know
Details that I can't share.
They are
Young & Old
Gay & Straight
With God
And some without.
From the list, top to bottom
Some will stay long
And others are already gone.
The 40 friends below are artists and writers.... please frequent their pages and buy their material. I can also be defined by my musical tastes, here's a quick tour of my favorite independent artists.
My Favorite Women Singer Videos and
My Favorite Men Videos.
I have Rose River and My songs listed in a cool website run by Kent St College. Folk Alley has an open mic area, and it's a great way to meet new artists. Please stop by and listen to the songs there too, and rank them how you see fit. I believe the winner gets invited to their annual festival. While we're not that interested, it is cool to be in the mix with a lot of good artist. Vote for us often
If you like what you've read... go give me a good ranking it will make you feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside.
Finally since MySpace downloads weren't working for awhile, so I thought of sharing my litte demo folder. The music in the folder will change a lot and there are some pics and cover gems you might finds. Dave's demo stash
Report to me any broken links please.... Thanks Dave
Hey, I'm catching up on things and just now responded to a question you left on my Lyrical Venus blog a while back, but I wanted to make sure you saw it so I'm posting the link here as well. This is a link to Song School, it has changed my life the past two summers I have been: http://www.bluegrass.com/songschool/
I think you'd like it too, if you had the chance to get out there one of these years! :)
, a sprinkle of love-
-and hopes that you are doing well-
