... Red wine, sunshine, friends, family, celebrations, heartbreak, films, books, pictures, poetry, comedy, technology, memories, that moment between the dream and the real world...

Above all, the music of the beautiful people in my top friends section. Yes, including myself. They are all musicians you probably don't know because they aren't well known, but if you feel like going over to have a listen then you're in for a treat.

   About Blue Skies
NEWS: I've just put an EP on itunes and amazonmp3 in the hopes that some of you might buy it!

BIO:

Hello there, my name is Dave. A year ago I started a band and decided to call it Blue Skies. It was actually a little more than a year ago now, we'll just call that 'number 1' in the list of factual inaccuracies that I've no doubt will appear in this bio. I can however promise you that my name is Dave.

So I like music. I like it a lot. Some days it's all that gets me out of bed. Other days I use the genius that is the wireless mouse to control itunes from my bed thus negating the need to get out of it.

As soon as the band started (I call it a band, even though I'm the only one that does anything, but I do like to think everyone I've ever met is in it. If you're pedantic you can call that number 2 on the list) I set up this page and similar ones on other websites across this big old space of interwebs. One in particular seems to have 'taken off' as they say. It's over on YouTube, a place where I like to upload videos of me singing my songs, and other people's songs, and sometimes just talking about stuff. A lot more people watch these videos than I expected, and so unfortunately this and other web pages do suffer some neglect as I spend most of my time over there. But at least I'm giving you a nice new bio, right myspace? Yeh you ungrateful bastard.

So music on here, videos on youtube I suppose the last place of great importance (number 3) is my blog. That's where I write things down. I believe that's pretty standard.

Oh I also have a facebook page and Twitter for anyone who uses those. You can only get your stalking badge if you add/follow/touch inappropriately/subscribe to me on every one of my sites, and that's not an easy thing to do, for example I only recently discovered I have a Last.fm page.

I'm going to wrap this up by leaving you with an email address at which you can send me... well, emails. Feel free to attach pictures that I can upload to this album. I do love that album.

Here it comes, are you ready... Got a pen and paper? Ok... musicfromblueskies@gmail.com

I do try my best to reply (number 4) but sometimes it takes me a while, and sometimes it just never happens.

bye for now. x

Oh say, have a p.s. here's one of those videos I make. This is a new song that I've written but not recorded. Eventually it will be going on one of the many EPs I'm making and will be available on itunes, as will all of the songs on the player.

Help end world hunger
