David Fredrick Lochelt Bio:
Born March 4, 1948 Sacramento, California. Began playing music as a trombone player in the 4th grade. Got his first guitar with S&H Green stamps in the mid sixties and has played ever since. Started writing songs at age 14. Drafted in 1968. Viet Nam Veteran. College dropout. Hitch hiked across the United States seven times and Europe once. Married four times. 35 years as a professional musician playing every musical venue known to man, woman, and beast. Recovered (29 years) alcoholic and drug addict. A true road warrior and a journeyman dues payer. Self-educated, self-taught, self-absorbed atheist who writes about life on the gravel road, hope and despair, the simple side of love and the callous side of being an American. From cross-dressing to catching fireflies. From giving up on humanity to grasping the true sense of brother and sisterhood. Musical poetry with the gift of fitting into everyone's heart, if just for a minute. The kind of songwriter who makes people say, "I can do that" ..... but they can't.

Eclectic compendeum of original Americana
author: Steven T. Cord, Jr.
This is a tremendously eclectic compendeum of original Americana, ranging from irreverent cross-dressing satire to revolutionary political commentary. The imagery is simulaneously bright and dusty, filtered through a working man's pain with hope for a better tomorrow. Listen to these songs with an open heart - you will be surprised at the range of emotions they invoke!

Truth-telling rhythms.
author: Carol Adair
Take this CD away from me! Fake Fingernails has got me playing air piano in my car and bopping in my shower! I’m rocking to the beat of “Bad Way About You”, laughing at the freedom of the “Duke of Des Moines”, belly rubbing with an imagery lover to “Time is Healing Me”. Dave Lochelt has a way of making music that gets you dancing and thinking at the same time, guitar and harmonica backing a deep, wry story-telling voice. My favorite lines come in “Fireflies” when a tired working man admits it’s time to say goodbye to his younger self “lighting up the eyes of young ladies and old foremen/ who never saw a man work that hard.” See if it doesn’t break your heart. There’s nothing fake here but the fingernails.
