acoustic folk rock
Dave Stannard plays the acoustic guitar and sings, by himself, all on his own. While he sings and plays, he also dances around a lot and is good fun to watch. He calls this "a performance"; most people agree. His songs are actually written by him, and not others, usually. Sometimes the songs turn out quite catchy and people sing them in the bath or play them on local radio shows.

Story behind the song
I have to admit that as well as being a responsible parent and a mature, productive employee of an IT services company I am also a saddo video-gamer. This song was inspired by and written for the members of my World of Warcraft guild "Heroes of Old" on Argent Dawn EU - "Keepin it real Big-T, Snoop-Pup, and Little Dees. Y'all are short, but you're real, baby." WoW Guild? OK, think of it like a chess club - sound less geeky? No? picture: WoW Nerd in Natural Environment by Jeff the Trojan http://www.flickr.com/photos/trojanguy/2762820631/
Lyrics
spend my days in the thick of I.T. little lonely me in the bits of PC “turn it off and on again” is my “d’you want fries with that?” saw you stranded by the water cooler damsel in distress your chart was all off-colour I fixed your laserjet, our eyes met, I got toner on my jeans but you know you can count on me I’m not just a geek - I’ve a secret identity got super powers like the heroes of old in those comics I borrowed from the seventies Your name is Rachael - yes I know you know that but now you know I know you know I know not to let this conversation go I got root babe, I’m the sysadmin I can crack’n'hack do you wanna go back downstairs to the server room with me? God, I get no relief my armour doth chafe but I’m safe in technology have to solo this dudgeon, oh! just like the heroes of old at the movies with arnold Your beauty leaves me defenceless come schwarzenegger me senseless I want to - tell you all about my online fantasy take you on adventures in an MMORPG all I ask is that you come cyb0r me and touch-type dirty virtual reality but I suspect you’d back away slowly - then call security While I work late my love runs on your phone little piece-o-3G that followed you home It fields the calls from ex-boyfriends so as you could BRD with me I got your hotmail, used my google-fu send you WoW invite and a hypnocube trap click! Zap! Warcracked up till two. so if you’ve got nothing on today and no-one called you to tell you they needed you anyway step out into the great wide world (of warcraft) we’ll groom you for Quel’Danas we don’t care if you’re shy, bi, Swedish or malodorous If you like to grind rep or gold come join the heroes of old - and get in touch with your inner gnome yeah we’re the heroes of old - drink beer, eat pizza and live alone we’ll be your guardian angels oiled up like boris vallejo they put a patch up today, girl, now we can play with you naked
