Dave was one of the greatest musicians I have ever known. I auditioned for a choir and afterward he asked me to sing in a group. When I asked about the parts he said he had written it for our individual voices . He sang with me for my brothers reception and I have never been more honored .
He had an ability to not only help you sing the words but to feel the music.
I’m sure that heavenly choirs are singing wonderful new arrangements. I am bless that he showed me there is more to music than just notes.
