Incredible
author: Patricia Zubritski
Incredible. If you haven't visited his website and started reading the story behind the songs I would like to suggest you stop by. When I first heard David play I was amazed at the fluidity. The seemingly effortless way his fingers danced across the keyboard. I then came to realize I was listening to original tunes. I am left incredibly touched and amazed. The tempo changes flow which is not an easy thing when you realize what type of tempo and style he combines. The music is magical and has personal meaning to everyone who listens. All of his songs have energy but many of the songs seem to have a life of their own. It's as if the notes are simply felt rather than heard. There is incredible talent, energy and spirit combined to make this a cd to remember.

Road to Freedom
author: William Bulham
When I first heard Dave perform "Road to Freedom" live, after the concert, I asked him what the title of that song was. He said, "Melody in D Minor...it doesn't have a title yet." I then suggested that he title it, "Shanghai General" because as I was listening to it, the fast rhythmic passages in the beginning, along with the D Minor chord progressions that follow that have an Asianesque feel to them reminded me of the hustle and bustle of an emergency room in a Chinese hospital, not that I've ever been in a Chinese hospital mind you! I then mentioned that I could imagine this song being played as the opening theme of a Chinese television drama, a "Chinese ER" if you will. Dave just looked at me and said, "Yeah,...great Bob."
No matter what the title, listen to it, along with the other great tracks on this CD and see what you think.

Music that you feel.
author: Lori Ricker
This musician can play and arrange like nobody's business. He has talent, that's obivous. But, the range of emotion that he affects when you listen to his music is raw. You feel the artists soul when you listen to his music. It doesn't hurt that he also provides some insight as to what inspired the writing of each song. He does so by including a snipit of information with each song. Buy the CD and you'll never stop listening. Even my 3 year old loves this CD!
