A report from Dave

Watch out, world! We're back, and we're forging ahead, filling the world with bearable music and unbelievable conviviality. Have you heard our new version of "Five Governors in Eight Days?" John Weingart's been playing it on WPRB and it was used in a new report on Nov. 15 on local NPR stations.

If you want a copy, bring your portastudio to one of our gigs, 'cause it's not on any album, and if the world is to survive, it never will be.

I have been enjoying being part of Big Jeff DeSmedt's Middle Size Band, playing music and making silly noises for the pre-youth of America. Big Jeff's music is always challenging and entertaining, and the musicianship of the band members is of the highest caliber. We've released a CD full of wild and wonderful ditties (go to bigjeffmusic.com for details). I play electric guitar (my Maton Phil Manning Custom from Australia), National slide guitar, and my Danelectro Electric 12-String. Give it a listen!

I am still teaching and coaching guitar players/songwriters privately, and writing songs, just so I don't attend the monthly NJ Songwriter's Circle empty handed. Recent songs include "Draining my Pool" and "The Man with the Golden Arm." Someday they may be recorded.

Meanwhile, all three of our CDs are still available (we found a couple copies of Bad Taste in the closet). Please drop us an email... and let people know we still are available for gigs! We're just waiting for your call, since our agent Horace ran off with our secretary LaTrina and took our Rolodex hostage.
