I had the pleasure to hear Dave and his Snakes (Tony and others) perform when I was last in the Minneapolis area, around 1978. That evening he recited a poetry piece called Love On A Street Corner. Afterward I remember wishing I had had the courage to ask him for the words to that.

I had listened to the recordings that he had made with John and Tony and loved their explorations into the roots blues stuff. I was, at that time, just beginning my own pursuit into the same.

More recently, I located his web page and found him still very active and performing in many different combinations. I had heard about his condition.
