Best musicians I've played with (so far)
Updated: May 7, 2021
So ... I've been using my New York City lockdown time to write my long threatened autobiography; The Secret Life of Colonel David (a not unpleasant life) which entails reminiscing about all the artists I've worked with, and bands, shows, and jams I've been in. Obviously, this is a partial list (please don't be offended if I've missed you).
As you can see, I've been very, very lucky, and if you're not familiar with a name, you should be, Google them!
