David was more than a very close friend. We were Bandmates and music collaborators, who recorded our music and played the clubs in NYC with our band Loose Change, in the 1980's. We re-emerged in Y2K as Otis Becket and did some local shows in Ct, one associated with Radio Play here in CT. David's passing must have happened soon after our last dinner together and I just never knew about it. Not understanding why David never returned calls, my wife Lyn suggested checking the obituaries. I am grieving now for a talented wonderful soul who I shared so much with and had so much in common. My Love to you forever.
