My dear friend Marv David passed away last week. He was known to the folk music community in Chicago. Marv served several years on the board of directors of the Old Town School of Folk Music. He was a good friend and contemporary of Win Stracke and Studs Terkel. Marv was a writer. He wrote for many media, most notably tv. Marv wrote Billie Holiday's last tv special, she asked him to write her autobiography but he turned it down, which, of course, he regretted later, but always with a laugh. Marv wrote for Eddie Arnold's tv show as well as for Jack Paar and Mike Wallace. I was blessed to write several songs with him, including this one: http://www.songramp.com/view.ez?sampleid=4919 Marv was a wonderful person. We got to spend a lot of time together and I'm richer for it. Mike ------------------ Mike Dunbar Music
You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way. -Johnny Cash It's only music. -niteshift Mike Dunbar Music

Hi Mike I tried to listen but the computer said something to frustrate me as usual. Every day I realize though how fast life is spinning by me. I guess we just ave to live life to the fullest while we're here!!

"If one man can do it, any man can do it. It is true. But the real question is, if one man did it, are you willing to do what it takes to do it as well?" –Brian Austin Whitney
