Damn, that reminds me, I haven't called Dave in over a year!
...I suck as a friend...
I studied with him for over 4 years, then worked and taught at Bass Central for 5 after that time.
Dave is indeed a truly amazing musician and person, one of the best people you will ever want to meet, either as an instructor, a performer, or just a guy.
...now, where DID I put that phone book???
