December 18th, DAVE and George - We finished up a song we started working on up in Cashiers. It's called "Don't Stare At The Sun".  I like it. I threw out a couple more ideas (an instrumental right now) and "I'm Missing My Old Friend".  I can't wait to see what George comes up with.

I miss Penny Lane.  It's been a week since she passed! I would like to remind every pet owner that our vet said to stay away from TRIFEXIS.  It might be the cause of many pets deaths. He suggested (Heart Guard). I hope to be in the studio this week with George Reeves cutting our new song "Don't Stare At The Sun" and maybe re-singing a couple of tracks on my new CD "Mr. Song To Evil People". Thanks for letting me live my dream! Stop texting, start talking. Keepin' It Real!!!!!!!!    -David

March 6th, NorthStar at Captain Stans - It was suppose to be a Hurricane Grill and Wings date but Abe and Gregg let me head up to Georgia. This is normally Ed's gig as a solo but Stan wanted us both there, so we worked it out. Turned out to be a cold, fun night especially when I looked out in the audience right before we started and saw Brady Green. The three of us played together for the night. It was a blast. There was some press there. I think they enjoyed it. Once again a great time behind the magic fence!

March 9th, NorthStar at the Americana Blues Festival - Everything bad went away. I was so relieved. I was proud to be a part of this festival that Ed and many other people put together each year. We are Americana (NorthStar) and I was proud to play the music we wrote for the folks that attended. Looking forward to next year!

It was a great weekend even though I was sick. It was great to hear all the acts at the festival (MoJo Bone, Cash Cow featuring Lil' Frank, Wharfratz and Sue Palmer and Her Motel Swing Orchestra). I am looking forward to being in the studio with The Big Lonesome this week. We should have a song on Reverbnation from our upcoming CD soon.
