As a young man, David always loved his music but like so many others, he found himself supporting a family and children and headed out into the oilfields of Texas and the world. He has traveled extensively over the past 17 years as he worked throughout the United States and Canada and even managed some time in South America. No matter where he was though, he always longed for those Piney Woods and the simple life it offered.
With guitar in hand, and a scratch pad and pencil in his pocket, he used any spare time to write songs about his life and would then share them with anyone who would listen. All the while though he longed to be home, back in East Texas. He was once quoted as saying "my music takes me to a place where nobody or nothing can bother me" and it is that attitude which keeps his melodies strong and his lyrics pure.
While his songs are honest and from the heart, people often comment on how versatile David is. Yes his music is heartfelt and soulful, but some say it has a "river bottom" edge to it and the man does love to entertian an audience!
