How could anyone sound like Dave! He combines musical components in ways that are just "Dave" and don't sound like anyone else. His songs are fun, refreshing, and varied and he's a singer/songwriter but band oriented. His combinations and genre-crossing are just original!

I am now on the 3-D Second Life Virtual Community as DaveSmall Finesmith. All you need is a free membership to
on the popular Second Life TV (now Treet TV) show "Tonight Live with Paisley Beebe" on Sunday, Apr 5, 2009. I sang one song, live, and then had a 10 min. interview.

Dave Small, as he's known in RL, started hearing songs at the age of seven. When the Beatles came along playing their own original material Dave was inspired to start constructing what he was hearing. His brother Britt showed him how to play guitar so he could make some sense out of it. As he progressed, writing 1,000 songs before graduating high school, he taught himself to play piano as well.
Like most musicians Dave started playing in bands while still in school and began learning the functions of all the instuments and music available to him. The result is a writer who hears his songs in full arrangement from the start.
Dave spent many years in clubs and studios working his material, mostly with his band Bullett, but missed on numerous close calls on getting a record deal.
Life has finally given him the time and experience to put it all together himself and let the material out into the world. Second Life seems the perfect venue for just that.
We hope you enjoy these songs from a dedicated artist.
There will be more of Dave as The Bullett tracks are remastered, also a free download on ReverbNation! And a good track it is, too. All the songs are his but one.

HEY DAVE ! Man I just wanted you and the Lemon Lady to know that we now have Brain Damage in rotation on our new radio station. SJMF Radio, ran by the St. Joseph Music Foundation. We are all ready licenced with BMI and should go to public air within the next year depending on the FCC stuff. It's Public Broadcasting so no commercials, European style, from Bach to Brain Damage ! How cool is that..!..? We are on the net now getting it all together now for the launch. Send me whatever you've got registered and I will start getting it in line. All so whomever else you know that want to submit their work. We are trying to get as much local as possible but for some reason it seems like pulling teeth to make some people understand how it works. Oh well, More seminars I guess.
