his name is dave elliott. you can hear him sing at this site:

<http://www.claudearthur.com/thedcrootsquartetswingingdaves.cfm>

doing 'ready, willling and able.' (the correct title is 'i'm ready,' a
fats domino tune, covered by the band on *moondog matinee*, highly
recommended.)

elliott also played for many years with danny gatton, if you've heard of
him.

if you go to the site, there's also a remarkable version of 'ode to billy
joe,' an instrumental with excellent dobro by another local dave, dave
giegerich.

but it's all good stuff, recorded a virginia beer joint i spend a fair
amount of time at. dave chappell, the telecaster player, is remarkable.

i love watching drummers sing for some reason.

your pal,
blake
