Susan, Art, thanks for writing. Dave's best friend, Jack Baker of the Rampant Lion Celtic traders was Dave's best friend. He got to say his good-byes Tuesday. Dave had shrunk down to practically nothing. Jack said his eyes and his hands seemed to be the old Dave's. Dave said as a parting shot, every dog has his day and mine was pretty good. I'm going to try and pry an evening loose and go to Jack's and lift a couple ales in Dave's memory as soon as I can. We had him MC our Bar:none celtic concerts a couple times and he was always a stitch with the audience.
