Like Joe, I'd rather my work speak for itself, but.....General "Skinny Dave" information. Covers my work as a guitarist, engineer, composer, producer, and all that fun stuff....plus some plans for the future.DiscographyAwards/sponsorships/endorsements
Solo efforts, bands, and hired-gun work.....necessarily incomplete, since I can't track down all the stuff I played on during my heavy studio years, but it covers the highlights.
A not very complete list of awards, both virtual and corporeal. If anyone has info on the band battles and "best guitarist" contests I was in or in which I placed or won, please drop me a line and I'll include it here. If you're here searching for one of the free awards programs offered by Skinny Devil Music Lab, you can find info here or under "merchandise".PressCredit
Mostly a bunch of quotes that make me sound good from a variety of sources. Very incomplete at the moment, but I promise to hunt down as much as possible (including photos that appeared in print) and include them as soon as possible. Of course, if anyone out there has the papers & mags & whatnot, feel free to scan 'em and send 'em!
Credit where credit is due, kids. A brief word on those who helped with the site & related projects, my musical development/education (including the EKU music department), some of my current partnerships (including the YMCA and their fabulous Campaign for Kids fund), and the like.Raw Food & FitnessAbout The Virtual Loa
For years, I've resisted the call to publically adress my dietary & fitness habits (not to mention my politics and all other manner of non-music stuffs). But the calls keep coming in, so allow me to briefly address them here.
Information regarding the talking Skinny Devil "Cyber-Demon" assistant in the upper left corner of many of the pages here at th Music Lab will available here soon. At the moment, you've seen either the speaking Flash or the static JPG. Soon, you will experience real-time conversation with a real A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) named Riama-01.
