“Sometimes I think of myself as an obscure fiddling fool who believes that there are so many tunes and so little time.  There’s nothing more fun than exchanging fiddle tunes in a jam session or playing for a dance.  I’ve been a member of various bands and ensembles over the years such as Stampede, Iron Mountain Boys, Polecat Ramblers, Big Tweed and JT and the Zydeco Zippers.  Farmers market busking was off and on for quite a while. Currently I’m in a new traditional band called The Casitas String Band that plays for contradances in Ojai.  I love old time Appalachian, Celtic, folk and various ethnic music. Some favorite influences are Kevin Burke, Planxty, The Chieftains, Erynn Marshall, Bruce Molsky, Highwoods String Band and the New Lost City Ramblers among many others..” – David
