Dave Shields
I write songs about..
My Children
Being Adopted/finding my birthmother
Broken things in the world
My Home
My friends and family
My Wife
Smiles
Corporate Stress
The floor
The internet
Being little
I love writing and recording music - It is my golf, my hunting, my bird watching, my escape, my release, I love to get in "the zone" and ride it out. I only hope someone else listening can enjoy the music half as much as I enjoy making it!
