Some folks have been wondering when I'm planning to post new material. While I am currently in the recording process on some ideas I went thru the archive and found a couple songs you might enjoy. The Sandbox King is an homage to one of my favorite influences of the1980's The Police and One More Day is a folksy departure into the perils of too much introspection :) Cheers! Dave D.

New release time! Straight from Dave's feeble brain via the collective unconscious for your listening dissection. A premonition I had in 1992 that seems to fit our present narrative called "Hangin' by a String" nothing ever changes it seems. Enjoy!

About Dave Daker
songwriter/singer guitarist. I was fortunate enough to be in my teens in the middle of the radical evolution of rock music during the 1970's. A time before music videos when truly talented musicians looked like normal people and not some factory cookie cutter magazine model. A time before A&R types meddled in the creative process, Music is art unto itself, it does not lend itself to being a commodity, yet it seems artists have to choose forgo worldly comforts of a familiar bed or regular nourishment to attain a living wage. There has to be a better way to make an honest living as an artist that produces a product one can hear or see or feel rather than touch. Anyways...These are some original compositions if you will since I feel like all music is derived from the (our) collective unconscious. So then everyone kinda wrote this in a way. This is the stuff the struck me enough to record I suppose. So feel free to critique us :)
