Pay To Play (2001) David's first album, released on CD to an eager public in 2001, justifiably called an anthem for the new millenium. Often likened to an 'Austrian Sgt.Pepper's', this 15 track masterpiece is the culmination of many years of hard graft and meticulous dedication to the craft of songmanship and precision musicianship. David is one crazy guy and can often be found weaving baskets by candle light in a small corner of his dank cellar, alone with his memories. Here he is able to reflect on happier times before his hair fell out through his ears. Listen to the tracks & buy the CD (CD Baby). Also available to download from - MP3tunes . Apple iTunes .

Song For George (2005) David's second album, released on CD and via the magic of the internet as MP3 to a slightly jaded public. The Knittelfeld Gazzette says - "David once again surpasses his own exacting standards to amaze and delight the listener with a cacophony of aural delectation unimagined in the audio wilderness years following his previous masterwork. Stone me, it's the tops! I'm just off to destroy my Mozart collection, the lightweight amateur." Listen to all the tracks now in the "Song For George" jukebox!
