David, I truly enjoy you as an artist and person. I am the one who brought my daughter,Cady, to see you play with Randy Saxon and Jim Avett in Lexington NC. You made that such a special night for her. She still talks about that night every time I play "The Prettiest Thing" on my old Martin, as she sings along. Keep it coming. Love the way you pour out your heart and soul.
It's called 'Good Man For The Night'. During a radio interview David said he wrote it after reading a series of stories by a famous Irish Author [I forget who]. It seems to be largely overlooked these days as David concentrates on new material, but he's got a LOT of great songs sort of 'in storage' like that.
What a great video of a true genius! I have had the great experience to write with him lately. We have a few things in the works right now. Such a "Down to Earth" guy! Thanks for posting it. You should finish your documentary of David. He is a very intriguing gentleman!
Thanks for posting this. I have been a fan of David since I first saw him in a little coffee house in Mount Holly. A great talent who never got the recognition he deserved.
I was in the UNC-Greensboro MFA writing program with David Childers in the 1970s. I admired him then for being a serious and unique poet and a remarkable character. He's still a character, and now I admire him for being true to his muse all these years.
