In spite of ourselves...

My lovely wife and I track our dating back to 1978, and it started when I put a rose in her locker at work for Valentines day.  We have a tradition of doing this song at campfires... and when friends asked for it at the last gig.. she had to tell me how it started.  This video is so great... we're somewhere in there.. but you have to imagine.  An absolutely fantastic song written by John Prine and Iris Dement sings with him.

Let's talk dirty in Hawaiian by Dave?

Yes... I have taken another step in making this a more interactive "Show"... I have figured out how to use my new used lap top's video capture for a YouTube video.... I just had to start off with my favorite song "Let's talk dirty in Hawaiian"... I use this song typically to sound check, and I love when Tim & Paula sing on the chorus. Of course I always ask the audience to sing along. HA.

I even read the book Fred Koller wrote about songwriting so I always tell people this song is written by John Prine AND Fred Koller.... Fred is a cool character.. look him up. Here is the book he wrote: How to Pitch and Promote your songs.

Here is my first ever posted music video... World aren't you nervous now? Now if I could actually write a song as good as this one or sing as good as John Prine.
