Musical Medicine

I was just wishing that I could find some songs with meaningful words to the issues I feel I am thinking about. And somehow Greg tripped over this artist. I couldn't figure out why he sounded so familiar until I listened to a few songs and realized that his style and voice is alot like Raffi. And I love Raffi. This is Raffi for adults. Greg told me that David was raised by parents who decided to raise their children without any traditions at all. They both felt that the traditions they had been raised with had gotten to a point where they had lost their value and meaning, so they tried something different with their kids. Well, David said it helped him when he got older and felt like something was missing, that when he went searching he was able to connect with a fun God rather than a mean God. He is Christian, but we don't know what particular faith. He is from Asheville North Carolina. Was born in 1958, and has been writing songs and singing since he was 30. He does monthly/some weekly concerts. He will be in Idaho in October. His music is fabulous. He sings about very pertinent issues from religious intolerance to how to have a happy marriage. Like you have never heard before but felt in your heart all along. There just weren't words to express it until David wrote them.........I really wish I knew how to set his music up on my blog. I need you Lindsay!!!!! Anyway, take some time to listen and let me know what you think.
