Wednesday 2/9 AM - Got together and worked on some new tunes with my lonesome friends. Randy Watts, our good friend from Viginia stopped in to check us out.

PM - NorthStar @ The World Famous Oasis - We had a good time. Made some new friends. Randy also stopped by the Oasis to hear Ed and I for awhile.

Thursday 2/10 AM - In the studio (Eclipse), Ed is going to lay down a traditional tune "Been All Around the World".

PM "Just Dave" @ The Corner Bar - Had a great time! Kruz got up and played a few. Stacey & Curtis (Good Wood) stopped by. Randy Watts hung out also, he'll be leaving in the AM headed to Georgia, as I am to do a NorthStar gig. It's good to hang with Randy.

Friday 2/11 NorthStar @ Zachry's - Our best night yet! Had some old friends stop by. Mad some new ones. Just a real great time!

Saturday 2/12 Wharfratz @ Private Party - I sat in with the Wharfratz (Eddie and Jonathan). The Monsignor and Johnny were great hosts. Jonathan did a great job on drums and it was nice to play a little bass again. I was proud to be a rat for a night!

Sunday 2/13 "Just Dave" @ Finnegan's Wake, North Stage - I played Sundays at the Sunset Grille with a couple of different bands for years. Now I'm somewhere on AlA again (South, though). Frankie stopped by and played and sang. It was great. Shane and Karen have been a great help for me and my career. Thanks!

Good things happen to good people. Doors open for people who work hard and are honest. I wish the best for everyone no matter what it is you do. That's the way I fly. Keepin' It Real -David

Monday 1/31, The Hacker's @ Hurricane Patty's - Another tremendous night! I would like to thank everyone who comes out on the last Monday of every month. You make it a lot of fun!

Wednesday 2/1 - Off, but got together with some friends and made some new music.

Thursday 2/2 - "Just Dave" @ The Corner Bar - I am really enjoying this gig! It's nice to play for the group of folks that are showing up. Kruz you did a good job, sorry I didn't pay more attention. I will next time! Sharon Dunaway, it is nice to see you. I'm glad you're going to join Marc and I on the 24th! I can't wait.

Friday 2/3, "NorthStar" @ Finnegan's Wake - Had a blast! It was the only gig with NorthStar this week. Started out a little rusty, but in no time we were right back at it. Ed stayed here in St. Augustine to discuss more plans for the future. I'm looking forward to taking our music to fans all over the country! Thanks Woody and Curtis for stopping by. Great bass (Music Man), Curtis.

Saturday, "Just Dave" @ Finnegan's Wake - It was a little slow when the clock struck 7pm. I guess I could have waited a while but that's not the why I fly. I started my 3 hour set on time for almost nobody. I finished my 3 hour set with a room full of people. Thanks to Shane, Karen and staff. I had a great weekend!

I worked real had this week, it felt good! I am getting more excited about the future everyday! Thanks everybody for helping me live my dream!

Tuesday, 1/25 JUST DAVE @ Harry's- Rained out. I hate missing a gig, but glad to see the rain. We needed it.

Wednesday, 1/26 A day off. JD called me and we went to The Shores to see a songwriters circle (Philip White, Monte Holmes and Scotty Emerick). The show was good, the three of them were great writers. I saw Walt, he provided the sound. We had a good time, not like most writer circles I've been to though. More of a circus until JD and I moved up closer. Songwriter showcases I've been to in the past are usually listening rooms. Thanks JD!

Thursday, 1/27 JUST DAVE @ The Corner Bar - What an outstanding night. Had some great people out tonight, Rick Kyson and Don Dunaway showed up. These were the first two guys I met when Ed and myself first came to St. Augustine. What a trip to be playing for them! Also Bill was there with his hair down. The great Rob Peck played some with me and did a couple on his own. Kruz got up and did a couple too. Paul Berger also stopped by. Overall an awesome night! Thanks everybody!

Friday, 1/28 Eclipse - Woody put percussion on Is This Love Real.

JUST DAVE @ Finnegan's Wake - I'm going to be playing a lot of gigs in this room "JUST DAVE" and some with my brother Eddie "NORTHSTAR". The owners are great people, Shane and Karen. It felt like we had a good night. Made some new friends, saw some old ones, had a blast. Thanks Courtney and staff you all are great! Missed you Shane and Karen, sorry for your loss.

Saturday, 1/29 JUST DAVE @ Finnegan's Wake - Another grand night! Frankie (Those Guys) sat in on a few, as always, he sang his ass off. Good to see Mary again too! Met Chris who has built some beautiful guitars. Had a lot of friends down, you know who you are. It doesn't get any better than this.

This has been a fantastic week (always is, anytime I have a chance to play my music). Introduced a new song this week That's the Way I Fly. I hung out and played with some great writers and players. I lived the dream this week, thanks for sharing it with me. Keepin' It Real - David

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

Tuesday, January 18, Eclipse - I put 2 guitar tracks on "Goodbye Danny". Next week Woody and adding a violin track, then that song will just need a mix.

Wednesday, January 19, NORTHSTAR @ Captain Stan's - Thought it was going to be a nice night. WRONG! Cold as hell again. We still had fun. It's always good to see the Capt, missed Beth, though. Maybe the next gig here will be a warm one.

Thursday, January 20, JUST DAVE @ The Corner Bar - What a night! Had the great Barry Dunaway stop by (my hero). Also had Sharon his sister and Kruz get up and play some of their tunes. Thank you guys! Looking forward to next week. Thanks Felicia, Deana and Kelly, you guys are the best.

Friday, January 21, NORTHSTAR @ Crosby's Seafood House - We had a great night! After a great dinner we sat down to play. We were in our first hour and Frankie (Those Guys) showed up. He sat in through the night and sounded great! Also, Barry (Those Guys) and Sharon stopped by for the last song. It was good to hang with two guys I respect a lot. Thanks everyone for showing up. And thanks Ed!

Saturday, January 22, NORTHSTAR @ The Corner Bar - Another great night! It has been a great weekend! Thanks Felicia, the staff and everyone who came out.

Sunday, January 23, NORTHSTAR @ Zachry's - This is a great place1 Not only is the food great, it is run by great people. Thanks Barbara and family, you guys are the best!

I'm really lucky. I'm playing with my brother Ed (NORTHSTAR) and having fun with the solo gig (JUST DAVE). There's also a new project in the makings that I'm excited about. I got a chance to play with Frankie this week and hang out with Barry. I am surrounded by great people and there is no better feeling than that! Keepin' It Real - David

Sunday, 1/16 "JUST DAVE", The World Famous Oasis - It's was a great two days of playing solo and then the NorthStar gig with Frankie sitting in. Now on my way to the Oasis. This is the longest gig I play. With the TV's running (all 44 of them), it sometimes can be grueling. Anyway, I had all of this on my mind as I drove to the gig tonight. There was good chance that this would be a disaster. Thankfully, I was wrong, I had a great time! It has been a great weekend! Thanks to The Corner Bar, Finnegan's Wake and The World Famous Oasis and everyone who hung out. "Keepin' It Real -David

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