I was just reading the topic about your favorite forum posters and saw David's name mentioned.It then came to me that I haven't seen him post in quite a while.Have I missed something?I know he has been controversial in the past,but I really enjoyed his musically directed posts.

Forum Search says he last posted on Dec. 24. He's one of my favorite posters as well.
I'm posting a similar topic about another member. |

you're right Dave B. check out his last post:
"Well, I move to a new city, take a new day job, and drop off the Forum for a couple of months (seems like years), and come back to the same tuning questions and mixtures of truth and...um...something ..."
new job would pretty much kill my forum particicpation as i post only from work. at home I feel like i should be practicing, not posting. |

There is no real David Doggett.
I mailed bob five bucks from a remailing service in Philly.
He was a mythical identity I assumed to rebut my Tuning Posts, and lose the argument..
Somebody had to..

I seem to remember him getting irritated with some negative posts about Robert Randolph playing "noise".
He bid us "good day". |

Hi guys. After a period of forced temporary retirement (that's what you call unemployment when you are over 60), during which I was an active poster, I am now 6 months into a new job in Baltimore. I've been moving my junk from Philly to Balto, and also fixing up my Philly house to sell. That's what I do almost every weekend. So between that and working long hours during the week, and having a daughter graduate from HS and a son from college, I've temporarily quit music and the Forum. I'm gettin' too old to burn the candle at both ends and the middle too. Besides, maybe I said everything I had to say for awhile. Eventually I'll get rid of the Philly house and settle into Balto and have my weekends back again. I got out once to hear Susan Alcorn do some amazing stuff solo (no backup at all), but missed her performing with a trio.
This summer I will still play an occasional gig with my old band, the Philadelphia Blues Messengers. We play this Friday night (June 4th) at Cianfrani park in South Philly, free, 7:00-9:00. Sat. June 5th we play at Theatre of the Arts in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware with jazz super sax Odean Pope (fresh from a European tour and a couple of nights at New York's Blue Note). Sunday June 30th we play in Philly at the West Oak Lane Jazz Festival, free, 1:30 (http://www.westoaklanefestival.com/).
Y'all keep on truckin'.

Brother Dave! Good to hear (read) your voice again. Many of us have missed you. Intelligent life on The Forum can be somewhat rare...
Hope your new job works out. But don't stop playing music!!! You can stop posting on The Forum if you want -- it can be a bit of a waste of time sometimes, as we all know -- but don't stop playing music! Don't think of it as burning the candle at both ends -- playing music is why we burn the candle in the first place! Glad to hear you have some gigs again. Get your house sold and your kids settled and get back to playing steel -- it is our only defense against the ravages of age...
