Alan D. David. Songwriter and performer in various musical genres. By trade, I am a lead guitarist. But, in recent years I have become more of a songwriter/comp
For over 40 years I played lead guitar and did back-up vocals in various country bands. It has been one of the greatest thrills of my life. But, these days I stay at home and compose songs, both lyrics and music. My writing style is much broader than just country music. I also write southern rock, a little blues, lots of smooth jazz and movie themes and even some latin music. I have been writing for about 20 years and hope to for quite a few more years.

Lyrics
Down In Vera Cruz © 2011 Diana Bowers, BMI / Alan D. David, BMI (v1) A summer filled with ecstasy The first time you gave a kiss to me Some how I knew we’d make history Down in Vera Cruz (v2) Small umbrellas in a salt-rimmed glass Making mem’ries that were sure to last You said yes when at last I asked Down In Vera Cruz CHORUS Strolled the beach, holding hands Left our footprints in the sand So much in love, we spread the news Bout you and me, down in Vera Cruz Instrumental Break – Horns Instrumental Break –Guitar & Horns CHORUS Strolled the beach, holding hands Left our footprints in the sand So much in love, we spread the news Bout you and me, down in Vera Cruz Instrumental Break – Guitar Instrumental Break - Piano (v3) Pledged our hearts down in Mexico Fell in love in the moonlight glow Found each other many years ago Down in Vera Cruz (v4) Every summer we make the trip Book our passage on that cruising ship To where it started back in eighty-six Down in Vera Cruz CHORUS Stroll the beach, holding hands Leave our footprints in the sand So much in love, we spread the news Bout you and me, down in Vera Cruz (v5) Thirty years, it’s coming soon Since our first night ‘neath the Latin moon Renew our love each and every June Down in Vera Cruz TAG Anticipating every June Down in Vera Cruz
