This player is full, 100 songs.I will make another ReverbNation page and add more Plastic Dave songs.Dave's friend Jason has been kind enough to share with us all the songs he has on CD's.As I sort through them to make sure I do not post the same song twice I will add them to the new page, In Memory Of Plastic Dave Volume 2
Jason told me all these songs are untitled, the title forgotten or sometimes they just wouldn't give a song a title.But I have been listening and a lot of the songs are new to me which is a treat for all of us who are into P.D.'s music.

To all who had the pleasure (or displeasure at times) of knowing Dave and hearing him at his craft,
Dave would share songs with me and every chance I got I downloaded them if he had not already sent them to me.I have over 100 if you include all the collaborations.Since there are so many it is hard to pick and choose so I decided to put them all on the player.To make it a little easier on myself I am going to post the rest alphabetically.
It is an amazing body of work and shows us the creative whirlwind that is Plastic Dave.
Be sure to check out the Plastic Dave Collaboration page made by my friend John Starcluster.
All the collaborations were made with friends Dave met on MySpace http://www.reverbnation.com/pdcollabs
Thanks to Dave's friends Mike D. and Jason P. in New Jersey who are on several recordings made in Dave's basement studio.
Mike,guitar,vocals,and he wrote some of the songs.
Jason,keyboards and guitar.

I told Dave many many times I could not ever thank him enough for all the help he gave me to be able to create my own music. I tell people that posting all his music for others to enjoy is the least I can do.
A line from Dave's song Plastic Dave Is Dead,
"I'd give up the ghost just to live again, reincarnation is around the bend".
See you on the other side homeslice.
