I've known Dave since our public school days. He was, and is, an amazing person. And this is a wonderful tribute to him.

Damn! I'm sad that I missed that show, and what an incredible piece of writing. Back in the day, I would have added The Mill to that list of bars. I love Dave. He has always been so nice to me. I believe it was the one year anniversary of the tornado that both he and Dave Zollo gave a free concert in our neighborhood. He's always making this community better.

This was a sold out show months ago. I was offered a last minute ticket. My Mantra is “always say yes” so I got in the car and drove 5 hours on winter roads in Iowa- that means ice and snow and limited visibility @ 75mph. Arrived at George’s, got burgers and was first in line. Just as Dave Moore himself appeared, visited with me obviously happy to see me again. I was in front and surrounded with my music friends from everywhere. So much dopamine was released and shared that night. Perfect bookend to Driftless water defenders show they did together in the spring. Also sold out and just showed up and got in.
