I'm working with the Columbus State University Westminster Fellowship
and we decided to start posting a weekly devotional to the campus
online noticeboard.

Somehow I was nominated to go first, so I thought I'd share mine here
as well :)  (Hope I credited everything correctly David!)


Someone asked me last week what I'd do it if I knew I'd die the next
day.  Well, besides robbing a bank … ha, ha (kidding, really!) … I'd
call or visit my family and friends. Her next question was, "When's
the last time you called or visited them?"  Ouch.  Why is it so hard
to make 10 minutes sometimes?   Saturday, I drove the 2 hours to
visit my parents.  Yet I know for upcoming birthdays and holidays,
I'll spend an hour or more searching for the "right" card, and more
time on some useless gift … forgetting they'd rather simply have that
time.

So for this week's devotional, I'd like to share the following lyrics:

"The little one gets presents for a little consolation
He gives her her own telephone but not much conversation
She asks him for a moment like a beggar for a dime
There's no time like the present and there's no present like time."

Selection taken from "Deadline," from the CD "Good Tar"

(Scan down, it's Disc 1, Track 1)

What a treat.... thanks David

Awesome!!  Thanks, David! :)

LOL! I totally agree! :)  If I can convince my Wednesday night church
group (I teach) to travel to Eddie's Attic for the release party I'll
go there too, even with the added distance. LOL, maybe I"ll call
LaGrange college and offer to pick up the guitar players on the way,
heh heh ;)

Terri

50 miles? Is that all? :P
About three Evening Muse concerts ago (the place David
performs in Charlotte) he had also played Grey Eagle
the night befor (i think). And about 3 or 4 of my
friends who had gone to that one followed drove down
to Charlotte for the next one. More than 100
miles...Theyd probably do it again if there was
another Charlotte (or any other 'nearby places')
concert and theres nothin better to do.  Only so much
trouble to get into in CulloWHEE

I drove 49.2 miles to a small, private college's free concert last
night ... and the students thought I was nuts ;)  "You drove from
*Columbus*!?" they said.  LOL!  Well of course! (Hey, if I were in
England ... well, I wouldn't be able to afford the gas, ha ha)

I asked folks if they had heard David before and was informed they
were there because they play guitar.  They didn't sound to sure it
would be good... but by the break, I overheard several comments
of "he *is* pretty good."  LOL!  :)  (And I notice most stayed after
the break, and some new folks wandered in.)

Around 1000 students at this college, so a crowd of over 50 was
great!  Incredible new student center, very fancy room with 15-20 of
those large candles plus back lighting only, and comfy arm chairs and
couches!  Wow!  (and no, I didn't see any napping going on ;) )

The faculty member & his wife I talked with seemed less surprised
about the drive, they said they'd heard of David and had considered
driving to Atlanta before to hear him but hadn't been able to yet.

And why would I drive 50 miles (or much more) to see David?  Not just
because I like his music, I like a lot of music.  What makes him
different?  All I can think of is that David makes a personal
connection.  I was shocked the first time I posted a msg on this
group and got a personal response from him.  Last night he asked me
how I was ... and I was stumped again!  LOL!  You just don't
generally get that genuine an inquiry from even people you see
daily.

So I know he isn't keeping roll (or maybe he is ... David, you
checking off who makes it to local concerts?  Ha ha!)... but because
of that personal connection, I felt like I'd be letting a friend down
if I didn't go.  When my best friend flies in from Newark, of course
I drive two hours to meet her back home... it really doesn't seem
much different.

And I finally bought Good Tar ... I wish the trip home had been twice
as long so I could have listened to more!  LOL!  I buy maybe 1 or 2
cd's a year, if that many ... so buying a two cd set was quite a big
thing ;)  I'll be wearing these thin before long :)

Anyway, great music as always, so thanks again David!

Terri

Anyone else on here planning to be at LaGrange College tomorrow
night?  I can't wait!

I didn't even notice it last time I checked the schedule ... so glad
for those reminder emails!

I've been madly emailing folks about it, but no takers yet.  So if
you're going and would like to catch dinner or something as a group,
feel free to email me :)

David,

Thanks for solving that long held mystery.  I really apprieciate it.
I think I'll order the CDs where he plays and see if I can start by
tapping into what he did there.

Hey Sandie, and anyone else who might be interested... I just put up
the chords to "Northbound" on this site - just click on "Files" to the
left.  This will be on my site too after a while, but it's here first.
  ;-)

Peace,

David

Hey Will,

Thanks for joining the group, for your question and for remembering
that show all these years later!  I'm guessing the guy you're talking
about is Todd Mahaffey.  Todd is a brilliant player.  Very melodic, as
you say.  He's never done much road time, as he likes living in
Montreat and actually *being* there, but he's been playing pretty
steadily in the area for a lot of years.  Lately he's playing in a
Beatles cover band called the Faux Four with Chris Blair, David Cohen
(who plays percussion on my early records Flying and In the Light) and
A.D. Anderson.  They're a ball.  Todd may be hard to find, but if you
want to track him down for any reason I'm happy to help.

In other news, I'm in the studio in Asheville this week doing some
guitar and vocal tracks while the folks in Tacoma WA are working
simultaneously tracking drums and bass for the record.  I'll fly out
there on Monday to work some more on that end of it, and Chris Rosser
will fly out on Wednesday so that he and Evan Brubaker and I can mix
it all down.  We've got a ton of work to do, and I'm not entirely sure
it's possible in the time allotted, but we're going to give it a shot!
  Thanks for your enthusiasm!  I appreciate the encouraging notes about
that, not to mention the celebration of my engagement, which continues
to be the biggest and best news in my life these days.

Peace,

David

Hello,

I heard David playing about 7 years ago down at Montreat College,
during the Presbyterian youth conference.  He had an acoustic soloist
with him that was awesome.  I've always wanted to learn to play like
that guy--he had a very melodic solo style.   Does anyone have any
idea who he might have been, or know of a similar player?  I would
love to get any kind of instruction material to help, or contact info
or anything.

Thanks,

Will Riddle

whoo!!!!!!! more chords!!
And I actually know these (...kinda :P)
Excellent site, and congratulations on yer engagement.

Merry Christmas!

Congratulations to you and best wishes to your sweetie, David.

And, the website looks fabulous!

We're waiting for that cd.  Record fast.

Hey y'all,

We'll announce this to the whole email list next week, but I wanted to
clue you in first.  We've launched a whole new big web site.  I'm
pretty tickled with it.  There are a couple of areas that are not
entirely complete (the links page still needs work and some of the old
press articles aren't linked up yet, etc.), but it's mostly there.
There's a lot of new stuff, including MPEG video and some PDF
downloads of song lyrics with chords, etc.

Be sure to pop in to the guest book and scribble a word or two when
you're there.

I'm in Tacoma, WA working on the new record, and it's going really
well.  Hoping to put it out in November.  Good fun.

Oh - and I got engaged a couple of weeks ago.  ;-)

Peace,

David

Well, I got my new t-shirts of David's yesterday in the mail, and you
weren't kidding, David ~ they are SOFT!!! And yes, they are larger
than typical sizes.  I ordered X-large because of my increasing beer
belly (without the beer.  Just age I guess), and I'm swimming in it!
But rather be roomy than too tight, but like David said, whatever you
usually order, order a size smaller.
Great messages on them, David!  Thanks!  I've got your bumper
stickers with the same sayings on my van as well!
Peace to all!

Yes you can have multiple moderators - I'm moderating another list myself -
I'd volunteer to help also -

David - on yahoo lists, can't you have more than one
moderator?  I'd volunteer to be one, as I'm online
most of the day. :) (8-5 EST). Maybe if a few other
folks who are around other times could pitch in too?
