Dear Friends -

This is a tough blog entry to write. Although my recent move to California has been a very good one that has opened many doors of opportunity for me as a working singer-songwriter, there seems to have been an unexpected perfect storm of sorts (aka a series of unfortunate events). Some website and writing work that has been key to supplementing my income has been put on hold for a month or so, the holidays have slowed down my gig schedule temporarily, my divorce is proceeding on an accelerated basis requiring expensive legal counsel - and it has cancelled my health insurance effective today. Consequently, I'm doing everything I can to earn some extra income during this challenging time.

If you have ever considered purchasing my recordings but haven't yet, and you feel you would enjoy them, doing so now would provide you a great music listening experience while helping me get through until the holiday lull has passed. (If you've already purchased my music—please accept my heartfelt thanks! I'll have new recordings available soon.)

Dear Friends and Family -

Happy Thanksgiving!

One year ago today, November 23, 2010, I sat down in my home studio and recorded and released a 12-song download-only album entitled 11-23-10. The album was recorded live beginning around 7pm and was released for download somewhere around midnight.

Since then I've had this recording remastered by Jeff Knorr at CollapseAble Studios in Asheville, NC, and it is available now in high-quality WAV downloads as well as on the physical compilation CD "CALICARO."

Dear Friends and Family:

The California tour has gone wonderfully and has me quite inspired for many reasons. Rupert Wates, Nancy Jones, Stacey Lorin and I had a great run in the San Francisco Fringe Festival September 9-18 performing Rupert Wates' "Joe's Cafe" music revue. The whole experience in this wondeful place prompted me to resurrect a song I co-wrote in 1983 with Ron Moulton, "California Skies." Recorded a video of it this afternoon:



I look forward to performing this song and many others this evening (Thursday, September 22) at 8pm at The Alternative Cafe in Seaside, CA. If you're in the area, I hope you'll drop in for the show.

Also, my new compilation two-cd set, "CALICARO," a limited edition release I created specifically for this tour, is available online. Click here to preview/buy.

More news soon. Thanks for listening and reading.

Yours in music,
-Dave

Hello, Everyone -

I leave tomorrow morning to begin my tour with Rupert Wates across the country (including his "Joe's Cafe" music revue in San Francisco), Stacey Lorin Merkl in California and Colorado, Nancy A. Jones in California, and Kellie Amend (stage name Vivian Gail) in Colorado. (Tour dates on my calendar)

Special thanks to Rupert for making it possible for me to be on this tour and arranging the gigs, and to Nancy for lining up accommodations and the shows at The Steinbeck Center and The Alternative Cafe.

For this tour I have released a new compilation CD "CALICARO" which wouldn't have been possible without: Gary Pipta of MGM Communications http://www.graphicdesign.bz/ who provided stellar design and spent hours helping me assemble digipaks. Michael Berlin and Jake Dewey of bClip Productions http://www.bclip.com/ who duplicated and printed the CDs. Jeff Knorr of CollapseAble Studios for mastering disc two of the compilation http://www.collapseablestudios.com/ Graphics Four in downtown Asheville who printed the digipak materials. Eve Haslam, Frank Zipperer, Blythe Moore, Bill Sykes, Mr. and Mrs. Gene Burns, and my mom, Margaret Turner, who provided kind support.

Thanks also to my kids Sam Turner, Gracie Keller Turner, and Ben Turner who I will miss greatly while being away for a month.

Words cannot express my gratitude. I am a very fortunate man to have such wonderful friends and family.

All the best,
-Dave
