Life in Europe which included visiting art galleries, castles and monasteries, working with European dancers, painters and musicians. Sitting in a prayer house for about twelve hours a week for three years improvising music. The history of blues music, and the music of Blind Willi Johnson. The career of the Beatles, the music of Cream, Jimi Hendrix and Bob Dylan. Being part of the birth of the Vineyard and its worship music.

David Michael Boyd ... Colorado GuiARTist. That is the word I like to use to describe what I do with a guitar. I am about expression of ideas, worries, hopes, joys, fears and experiencing life through a mixture of music and other art forms.
So, "what kind of music do you play?" Well, that depends on which guitar I have in my hands and what is happening in life at the moment! On the acoustic guitar I borrow ideas from the likes of Micheal Hedges and Phil Keaggy and add a little classical guitar training. On the electric guitar I often give a nod to Jimi Hendrix who rocked my world when I was fourteen and lean towards the down to earth approach to music of the blues.. I add a dash of jazz that I have picked up living in Europe, a little SRV, Eric Johnson and who knows what else.. turn it up loud on my vintage Fender amps... there you go.
Lisa and I relocated back to Colorado in 2006 and have loved reconnecting with old friends. We're still discovering who we are after living twelve years in Vienna, Austria ... like I have a pickup truck and a pair of Lederhosen. But we're enjoying being alive together!!!

hey David, Matthew here. "The Return" is a wonderful song. The main/opening theme really speaks to me. Keep up the good work...and some day, you should come over here, and Joel and I can join you in a studio session or two. Hope all is well with you guys. Send greetings to the family. Matthew
Grüß Dich, sehr geehrte Hr. Boyd! Just stopping by to say howdy. You and Lisa should babysit Ezra and take him on a little trip to Germany and Austria.. it..d be fun to lead worship/play together again. Thanks for all your investment and such great times in Austria!! Please give Lisa a hug from us both. Take care and rock on! Alyssa :)
Hey David and Lisa (or should I say Grandpa and Grandma Boyd- congrats!!) I miss our firehouse worship times... Hope you guys are doing well and have a wonderful holiday season!! Später taters, Alyssa and David
Hey David and Lisa, How are things on your side of the ocean? David and I are slowly adjusting to life as Frankfurters. I will always be a "wiener" at heart tho. Liebe Grüße!! Alyssa :)
