I moved to Victoria in 1990 when David was well-ensconced in Los Angeles as an uber-producer. Back in his hometown, tales were legion ofhim—from the mid ‘60s on—being a teen wunderkind, playing piano in a tavern house band that featured (future folkie) Valdy on bass!

David tried his luck in London, England then hooked up in Toronto with Ronnie Hawkins whose long line of backup musicians previously spawned The Band and Crowbar.

Studious David and Rompin’ Ronnie didn’t click. But David and band vocalist B.J. Cook married and settled in Vancouver. Their new band Skylark moved to LA and scored big with Wildflower. The band splintered, but the couple stayed on. Doors soon opened for David as a session musician, a song arranger, composer and producer.

Again, tragic that his father was not able to watch with the rest of the family for at least part of that amazing ascent.
