As some of you may have noticed, there's been a long silence since my last blog entry. Is Dave any less committed to his global initiative? Was he seized by a cabal of anti-music jihadists? Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, Dave has gone more global than he could have ever imagined. The writing stopped because I became too busy going to concerts, making friends, and hanging out with musicians (i.e. having fun) to keep up the blogging.
