My name is Dave McIsaac. I grew up on classical music and jazz. How I got into country music is another story. But this isn't the time or place for that...I write, sing, play keys and fiddle. I have been a performing musician for more years than I care to mention. I've been on the verge of "success" a number of times (in a band that was signed in the 70's), traveling all over the US and Canada performing on stage with or opening up for dozens of major stars of the time (Ricky Skaggs, Juice Newton, Doug Kershaw, Bailie and the Boys, etc.). But life on the road has it's drawbacks - and I succumbed. It's been a long road back up to good health and a sound mind! I'm happy to say that I've been clean and sober for a good number of years and have made the decision to try a different path to "success".

Now I'm a semi-retired musician trying to make a living in Pocatello, Idaho, taking care of his beautiful wife (Mary Jo) who has MS (Multiple Sclerosis). I'm just doing some writing and recording at home. I've recently completed my first CD. I did it all at home using my Fostex FD8 (digital multi-track recorder), sequencing on my Peavey DPM-SI keyboard which I MIDI into a Casio WK 3000 for a fatter sound. All the fiddle is done on a ZETA Strados electric violin. All things considered, it came out pretty good (maybe God had something to do with that...) and I would like to share some of it with you.

As I write and record more I will be posting them
