ahh...i think you're referring to "the deb".  haven't played it in a while, 
but remember digging it a lot.  he also contributed "you've got a lover", 
which was him backing up someone else singing the ricky skaggs song.  dave 
plays well here, too, but the singing is pretty weak, so i have a hard time 
totally enjoying it.
when i joined this list five years (five?!...where does the time go?) dave 
was a very frequent, and informative contributer.  he helped me with my early 
struggles a couple of times, and had me call him once.  i did, and he wanted 
to set up some playing over the phone.  we never got that together.  i think 
after that, he kind of disappeared from the list.  still, i a nice guy and 
great player.  hope he's doing good where ever he is...
