May 16th, Retrophonics Studios - We had a good session, Jim and I. I put a nice bass track on "Train", Jim did some EQ on "40 Years", a Chris Berardo song I found that I had recorded years ago. We also did a little more work on "Too Tore Up" a Gregg Chirico song that we recorded with The Big Lonesome. 

May 16th, Songwriter's Night at Pelican Landing - We had a nice songwriters night. Sam and Michael are some real talented writers and players. It's always a pleasure to share the evening with my friend Bob. Looking forward to next month.

Dave, Bob, Sam, Michael

May 17th, Private Party - Our friend Jane was retiring and her boss took a few folks out on the Sabrage  with Captain Glenn and Doyle. It was a nice boat ride, I played a little music especially "My Bird" and "Southern Sky". Thanks for letting Theresa and I share your special evening Jane.

Looking forward to my trip to Virginia, can't wait to see all my Rivah friends. I won't get a chance to get with Dan at Bagan and Company this week but will be in the studio with Jim DeVito. We are working on 2 songs from my new solo CD "Poor-Dum". I put bass tracks on "The Hunter" and "Get Along Little Pony" and also worked on a mix for The Big Lonesome's "Too Tore Up" written by Gregg Chirico. Thanks for letting me live my dream!!! Keepin' It Real! -David
