About Me

I want to live in a pretty little square where people can come and visit me when they like. This is one of the corners in that square. Visit me often ... if you like. ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------- I do all of my own booking, management, and CD making. I often hitch-hike to my shows or organize rideshares. If it doesn't look like I'm playing in your town anytime soon, send me a message and we'll talk about setting up a show. ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------- I'm planning to add some fresh ingredients into the old mix. Maybe some tambourine, some horns, some percussion, some voices. Keep your ears open for the debut of my new performing line-up! ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------- I hope to see you soon. Be well ---- david. ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------- Oh, almost forgot --- If I'm performing at your venue, please don't copy and paste this as my 'Bio'. I will e-mail you one posthaste! ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------- Be Your Husband - a modified version of "Be My Husband" by the great Nina Simone.
