A request from Curve

Hi guys...thanks everyone for your support! If you could take a couple of minutes to watch our video message, it'd be greatly appreciated. We're looking to create a sort of media scrapbook for Dave, and YOU can help us out!

Cheers - we're about 50K short of three MILLION hits now... So if you haven't done so, spread the word!

You should role the text even faster to make it even more impossible to follow.

hey Goshboy... I don't have a clipping but it was used in a big meeting at Cisco to talk to people about how important good customer service is.

United is the absolutely WORST airline EVER! I swore them off in my old consulting days because everyone that works for them (that I have run into anyway) are rude a**holes, so this does not surprise me at all.

I fly them at Christmas after a 10 year boycott and it is still the same (except now they seem to be really lazy too).

Sometimes the worst situations turn into the greatest gifts...now look at you! You are famous, because stupid United Airlines broke your guitar. Awesome! God bless!

I took a TWA flight in 1996. They put my wheelchair into the cargo hold and then dumped everyone's luggage on top of it, turning it into a pretzel.  I spent countless hours in person, on the phone and writing letters to be compensated for my damaged wheelchair to no avail. You cannot understand how thrilled I am to see karma come to bite the airline industry - where it counts! Keep up the good work - for everyone's sake! Diana

That's very strange c&j! I've not heard of that happening before! Have you tried sending through other accounts and had it work OK?

Just wanted you to know that I sent the United Breaks Guitars link to about 10 people through my yahoo account. Different email addresses. On separate dates. At different times. NOT ONE of the messages was delivered. I have asked these people whether they got my email (they are all good friends), and they say they never received it. VERY strange.

1. Hi Cindy and Joey - in the first song, their names are Juan, Pedro, and Herve...in the second they are Klaus, Fritz, and Gerte. ;^) Seriously, they are Dave's bandmates, and if you want to know their actual names, drop me an email... :^)

2. In the 1st video, most everyone that appears is a friend or fellow musician of Dave's...in the 2nd video there are friends, family, fans, the whole magilla!

3. I think it's just a rose - I wasn't actually there when that part was shot, though

The United Breaks Guitars video and song are great!

What I would like to know, though, are several things:

1) What are the names of the three guys singing backup?

2) Who are the other people appearing in the video? Are some of the people related to the band (wives, sisters)?

3) Last question. What is the object that is being placed on top of the guitar by the three guys with the sombreros? Is this a funeral/burial item associated with indian or mexican culture?

Thanks!

Hi goshboy. Just looking at earlier posts and noticed your mention of Dave's son. Was he the baby in song 2? If so, what a treasure for when he's old enough to see what his Dad accomplished.

[goshboy64]

Wow, that's tremendous rgc! I will make sure that Dave hears about this one - Tommy Emmanuel is fantastic!

[rgc1961]

Last night I saw the legendary Australian guitarist Tommy Emmanuel in concert (check him out here on Youtube) and about half way through his show, he showed off his newest guitar and said "United hasn't broke this one yet", and sang the words "United breaks guitars". Needless to say, he got a great laugh from us here in Toronto.

Keep up the great work Dave!
