Album Notes

"I Want to Be With You for Christmas" could be titled "Christmas with Dave". It is a pop/rock tongue in cheek tale of Christmas in the life of one who doesn't buy into the commercialism and "it's not good unless it is a Norman Rockwell Christmas" type of guy. It was written for a virtual Christmas compilation album and has already received raves. So if you are looking for a new Christmas "Carol", this is it. Enjoy your Christmas with Dave!

David Forrest Small started hearing songs at the age of seven. When the Beatles came along playing their own original material, Dave was inspired to start constructing what he was hearing. His brother showed him how to play guitar so he could make some sense out of it. As he progressed, writing 1,000 songs before graduating high school, he taught himself to play piano as well.

Like most musicians Dave started playing in bands while still in school and began learning the functions of all the instruments and music available to him. The result is a writer who hears his songs in full arrangement from the start.

Dave spent many years in clubs and studios working his material, mostly with his band Bullett (you can buy the compilation, Bullett Proof, at http://www.cdbaby.com/bullett), but missed on numerous close calls getting a record deal. Until now.

Life has finally given him the time and experience to put it all together himself and let the material out into the world.

We hope you enjoy this song, and more to come, from a dedicated artist. Also check out his new Christmas song, "I Want to Be With You for Christmas" at: http://www.cdbaby.com/davidforrestsmall and the upcoming solo album SmallSongs series.
