His guitar playing has a unique style as well from a complex Doc Watson style flat-picking to simple chords. He seems to play every note of a chord rather than to just strum.
David has officially released 2 music CD''s ("Acoustic DEMO" and "San Jose Live 2003") (available at digital stores like iTunes & CDBaby), and unofficially released 2 others ("Man of Life Times" and "It''s written on the Wall") (available at his performances).
David''s grandfather an Austrian wagon wheel maker; played Austrian Polka''s on his button accordion when David was young. David picked up this button accordion and managed to play the same tunes his grandfather did all by ear. But David''s first love was always the guitar.
