David Sills

He's only got a handful of CD's out but I believe we'll be hearing a lot more of him. I picked up a CD of his in a bargain bin, 'Journey Together'. He does a version of "We'll Be Together Again" that absolutely turned me into an instant fan. Extremely lyrical musician. Worth every bit of the $7 I gave for it.

Duane took most of the good ones, but I thought of another few
