"Digital Artist... Surround yourself with good people and good music! It's the little things in life you can do for others that make a difference... ;) "
Some of my all-time favorites are Lynyrd Skynyrd, 38 Special, Alan Parsons, Toto, Michael Stanley, The Storm, Genesis, Sammy Hagar, Bryan Adams, The Outlaws, The Who, Journey, Rush, Survivor, Kansas and too many more to name.... :) But I love much of today's music as well. My kids turn me onto many of today's artists.
Music makes me, makes me strong.
Strong vibrations, make me long.
Long for a place where I belong.
You will find me in this song.
Let me turn you on.... to some great tunes....
Lyrics of the month: Listen to the song on the iPod above
Turn Down The World Tonight (J. Cain) Journey
Caught up in the livin'
Getting through each day
When all the tomorrow's
Become faded yesterdays
Are you slipping away?
Blinded by schedules
Rushing here and there
Become strangers to each other
I miss you everywhere
How did we get this way?
When the loneliness
Becomes too much to bear
Get off this merry-go-round
Tell each other we still care
Help me Turn down the world tonight
Take a quiet moment,
Somewhere we can unwind
Losing touch, We forget to take time
To share what's in our hearts
Speak what's on our minds
In the silence, Hear your heart beat next to mine
Baby, help me Turn down the world tonight
Too much information
Streaming at us fast
What I really need to know
Is that we can make it last
I wanna keep you close
We make commitments
Take responsibility
Why do we let them
Come between you and me
That's when I miss you most
We gotta take this night
Knowing our love won't wait
Before our moment is gone
Baby say it's not too late
Help me Turn down the world tonight
Take a quiet moment,
Somewhere we can unwind
Losing touch, We forget to take time
To share what's in our hearts
Speak what's on our minds
Far beyond the noise
With your body next to mine
Won't you help me Turn down the world tonight
Turn down the world tonight
Help me Turn down the world tonight
Take a quiet moment
Somewhere we can unwind
Losing touch, We forget to take time
To share what's in our hearts
Speak what's on our minds
Oh, turn down the world
Help me Turn down the world tonight
In the silence, Hear your heart beat next to mine
Baby, help me Turn down the world tonight

i-TEN - Taking A Cold Look
Featuring Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly
Produced by Keith Olsen & Steve Lukather
This is one of my favorite rare CD's. They wrote hits for such artists as Modonna, Heart, Cyndi Lauper, Phil Collins, The Pretenders, REO Speedwagon and many more. You may have heard Tom Kelly's step-out vocals on such hits as Sammy Hagar's "I'll Fall In Love Again" and Rick Springfield's "How Do You Talk To Girls" This also has the original version of Heart's huge hit "Alone". This is the only album they ever released and just look at this line-up!
Steve Lukather - Guitar (Toto)
David Paich - Keyboards (Toto)
Steve Procaro - Synthesizers (Toto)
Alan Pasqua - Keyboards, Synthesizers (Giant, Eddie Money, Starship)
Mike Baird - Drums (Journey, Riverdogs, Richard Marx)
Richard Page - Backup vocals (Mr. Mister, 3rd Matinee)
Lenny Castro Percussion (Everyone)
Great stuff... Enjoy!

Heroes
My Parents, two sisters and my brother. My boys. My favorite Sports teams are the Broncos, Bears, Cubbies, Bulls, Avalanche and Blackhawks. Sports hero's are Michael Jordan, Walter Payton and John Elway.
About me: I am a self proclaimed goofball/dork with a contagious laugh and (hopefully most of the time) nice guy who refuses to finish last. ;) I am a father of two boys who are my world! I LOVE music, my iPod and iPhone, I am a Mac freak and a digital artist with many years of experience, especially in Photoshop. My work is very illustrative, I studied as an illustrator. You know how Boston used to say that no synthethisers were used in this recording? Well, I do not use any 3D programs in my art. Only Photoshop and Illustrator for the most part. My clients include bands such as Journey, Kevin Chalfant, Jimi Jamison, China Blue, Bonrud, VTR, (Valory, Tickner, Roseman) VU, Hope Kills, Heartsfield and others.... I designed Kevin Chalfant's Clique Records site as well as his myspace. I also designed Ross Valory's myspace and some of the graphics for his "official" website. I also do websites and many styles of graphic design and Illustration. I am currently working on some really fun MouthMan designs you WILL see very soon. :)
Some of my artwork...
Digital Illustration and design by Wavid (Dave Williams):
April 8, 2007 - Kevin Chalfant is finalizing work on a new 13-track cd entitled FLY 2 FREEDOM. The cd is expected to be released in May of 2007 on Clique Records. The tracks on the new CD are all of his favorite Journey songs, as a tribute to the music that Kevin honors to be some of the finest works done by any Melodic Rock band, ever.
Kevin states, "The musicians and songwriters of Journey are simply the best in the music industry." He adds, "The Journey love-laden sound has won the hearts of millions of fans world wide. I am proud to consider them personal friends and label them America's Finest Rock Band. Over the years, my fans have requested that I cover Journey's music. This cd was conceived to satisfy those fan requests."
