Dave's Other Stuff
tres importante too

The View from Green Island
GI Central - my 'net home' for several years, more or less hibernating for the last few years, but like any growly bear apt to wake up hungry and grumpy at any time, ready to engage whatever needs engaging - lots of venting, lots of good writing, lots of 'out-of-the-box' ideas you aren't EVER going to hear on the CBC (not for people who get triggered by intelligent ideas or certain words not allowed on the said CBC...)

Greenways cover

Green Island, Dave's magnum opus, a story of a modern social democracy where We the People have finally displaced the bankers from our government, and established the first real Democracy on our planet. The old rulers are not about to sit idly by and allow the work of centuries to be undone by a band of hippies, of course, and attempt a regime change with their military arm, the US hegemon. This regime change attempt gets a bit of a shock, however. Green Island too has something a little harder under the green glove.

Serpent's Tale cover
A Serpent's Tale - Dave's parable about what we are doing to our planet - when you look into the abyss, even if you have no idea what you are doing - be careful - the abyss is looking back ...

And a book for younger readers too, Dave's an eclectic sort of person - Aquila

montage of pics of dave singing

Copyright: All of the songs are Copyright by me, most written back in the late 60s and through the 70s, a few since then. EXCEPT for a couple written by myself and Bill Carpenter, back in the same period, as noted, and all registered with SOCAN

Lyric graphic sheets: All of these were created by me, and thus also copyright by me.

Other graphic credits: Most of the pics in the top banners and where used in the lyric graphics were taken by Bill Carpenter, a few by me. There are some included graphics I found through google searches, with no way to identify any copyrights on them - if you think one of them belongs to you, let me know and I'll remove it or credit you as you wish. A few of the included graphics were done by P John Burden, a very fine artist I knew when I lived on Prince Edward Island, which he did for an earlier project that never got properly finished which I have borrowed from here and there - many thanks my great friend John .....

The vids: Again, all made by me, copyright by me ...

Management things: Many of these songs are still, in my view, very publishable today - if you are interested, let me know - I think with the right promotion etc there could be some money to be made here.
