August 29th, DAVE at Aunt Kate's - It's always a great time on the porch by the water!

September 1st, Travel Day - Theresa and I are headed north to Virginia today for my gigs at the Coles Point Tavern.  I'm looking forward to it. I'll playing with Eddie Pickett on Monday.

Still trying to get all my new music out. I'm running into a few thousand snags. When all is said and done I hope to be releasing "LIVE And a Little Touched" (DAVE 10 music videos),  "Back Again" (Carpetbaggers 12 songs), "Say Grace" (Carpetbaggers 10 to 12 songs), "The Big Lonesome Rides Again", (The Big Lonesome 12 songs) and "Then And Now" (The North Star Band 20 songs), that's over 50 new songs. I can't wait for you guys to hear! Looking forward to my Virgnia trip! Thanks for letting me live my dream! Keepin' It Real!!!-David

see you down the road!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
