David has composed jingles for radio, soundtracks for several special interest videos, television and original songs for his independently released CD.
His exciting new project the band Busker Eaton is an off-kilter jazz/fusion trio, focused not only on playing music, but getting back to "playing with music". Each of the members (Dylan Jung on bass and Lou Morettit on percussion) collaborate to create original songs, bringing their own individual signatures to the work. Full of surprises with their spontaneous use of unexpected instruments such as slide whistle, melodica and more, they create both whimsical and moody compositions...
David is one of the founders of Mighty Minstrels a poetry/music group and their new CD release "Introducing Mighty Minstrels" is available now through their site...MightyMinstrels.com
Anyhoo, tried to call back but my phone would not work..would not turn on..eeek. However we FINALLY found Merlin, big balls, no note. So then, we found our way to the Martini Bar...big balls, a note was not an option. But, we will connect at some point! Went to the Tibetan Meditation service this morning on white bear road, very cool. Now I am home and my legs are sore from hiking around the Bell vortex. Tata for now. Star!
