about

Just a random thought I had one day. For the chorus. And the verses were taken from a song called milk on sour that I wrote around the year 2000.
Those lyrics were inspired by our local guitar hero, John Estes, back in Medina Ohio, who was a member of The Estes Brothers and they kind of sounded like cream in the 70s.
It was just a sad thought of someone searching for love and having a difficult time. I think it had a lot to do with the fact that I was experimenting with a lot of drugs and really didn’t give a shit about myself, dark days you know?

lyrics

You ain’t got a thing without a dream
so don’t take long to figure out what you are about
just be solid and be strong.

When the phone ain’t ringin’ and the birds ain’t singin’
Doorbell ain’t dingin’, but the mornin’s bringin’.
A sun that is bakin’ and you’re still shakin’.

You ain’t got a thing without a dream
So don’t take long to figure out what you are about
Just be solid and be strong.

When the wind is blowing’ And it won’t stop snowin’
But you got to get goin’ fore your ribs start showin’
You’re runnin’ out of rice don’t like the taste of mice.

You ain’t got a thing without a dream
So don’t take long to figure out what you are about
Just be solid and be strong.

When the spider spins a web all around your bed
And you begin to fear that your time is near
And you’re crying what’s the matter here?

You ain’t got a thing without a dream
So don’t take long to figure out what you are about
Just be solid and be strong.

about

Daveferatu Akron, Ohio


The thirst for danger was prevalent. Life was a constant search for stimuli due to the lack of connection to mentors or family.

As an infant, he was adopted by mountain folk and began training on fiddle at the age of 10 and at 13, guitar and learned folk style then classic and heavy rock.

At 21 he was playing big shows regionally but his first gig came at 17 at a biker bar.
