DAVE ACTON

Forgive me if my mailer seems to occasionally devolve into some sort of running obituary, but I guess that’s the price you pay with involvement in an activity that has a plethora of old artisans at its core.

I never knew Dave Acton without his oxygen tank. But his interminable good nature and humor always came to the fore when asked “How ya doing today Dave?“ Of his many answers my favorite was “Well, I woke up this morning, put my elbows out to each side, I didn’t feel any wood, and I figure I was going to have a good day.“

Thanks for that line which ended up in my song “Another Great Day Above Around” and for the amazing silver tissue you gave me many years ago.

I promise to use the good wood when I next get to work on my model planes.

MARY GAUTHIER’S BOOK “SAVED BY A SONG”

Please find this book and read it, listen to it, however you do books. Do this book. Do it. This week I have made it the first ever piece of required reading for all of my music coaching clients. I’m not going to go into a big review thing of the book here, but let’s just say listening to it while driving was particularly difficult because it’s hard to stand up and cheer while doing 65 mph down the freeway.

Read this book.
