I met David three years ago when I traveled to Denver to interview Todd Sheaffer for the film Charlie Loves Our Band. I’m grateful to call him my friend. This interview was recorded on May 3rd, 2021.

David hosted a screening of Charlie Loves Our Band last month in Denver, July 21st 2022 at the University of Denver. thanks David for hosting the screening. You rallied together a slice of Colorado friends, old and new and of course were the perfect host for the affair.

After decades of enjoying live music and making pictures of these concerts, you can certainly call David a Music Historian, and his curated photographs, musical selections and historical references certainly defines a thread of the music and culture we all love so…

If you don’t know David…do yourself a favor and meet him. He is at most all Railroad Earth, From Good Homes and Todd Sheaffer shows…as well as ALL Bob Dylan and I do believe Steve Kimoch, and that’s just the beginning. If any of these artists are playing in and around the Denver and probably about an 1800 mile radius around the Denver, he’ll be there…
