Why did it take me 3 years to catch this? Doh! Great interview, good questions and easy to listen to. Many thanks. ♥️

Just finished listening to your interview with David. Firstly, it was a great interview. Your Q’s were great and insightful. You allow the interview to .. breathe.. and makes for a great listener engagement. Ty. I’ve played guitar for 40 yrs now. Just a downstairs hobbyist you might say. Loved the ARC Angels back in the 90’s and still listen to them a lot. Just in the last 6 mo that led me to Storyville and now DG. He sounds like a great person. Appreciate his sharing of his musical life and his personal life. So, thank you again for your interview. I’m a sub now and look fwd to more of your work. 👍🏽

[@EveryoneLovesGuitar]

Thanks for your kind words CoachP7 and glad you enjoyed this 👍🏻🎸♫ Enjoy your weekend!

[@tomfoolery2082]

Ok , I'm late,late to the party . I grew up and live just a few miles from where David grew up but wasn't aware of him until mellencamp . It exciting to see someone from my area be successful and stay human . Lol , much success to u Mr Grissom .

[@EveryoneLovesGuitar]

Glad you enjoyed the interview Tom Foolery, and thanks for listening 💥 🎶 🎸 !

[@rickwright2850]

David is genuinely a wonderful artist and person, my wife and I drove from Virginia to Austin to catch him live at Saxon Pub late September 2017. Such a gentleman, and was wonderful to feel the power in his music and performance, would talk to you like he had known you all his life. An honor to meet him, love his guitar prowess, eagerly await his next release, thank you for this great interview!

[@EveryoneLovesGuitar]

Rick, hey man thanks for taking the time to write this. Yeah, David was awesome to talk with and really glad you enjoyed the interview - I did as well and he told me it was great for him also, so win-win on all fronts for everyone involved including listeners :-)

[@mikegames3464]

I still remember the 1991 MTV unplugged show. Best version of Pink Houses I've ever heard

[@miketaylor6053]

I really wanted to hear this interview but I'll never listen to your show again after a 7 MINUTE long commercial before the interview even started!!!!!!

[@EveryoneLovesGuitar]

Thank you (seriously) for letting me know! I've been slowly removing all these ads and I missed this one for sure. It's tough to keep up there are a lot of shows on the channel... that advert is gone :-)

[@miketaylor6053]

@EveryoneLovesGuitar I made the comment when I first started the video, I've come off the ledge because it was such a fantastic interview. 👌

[@EveryoneLovesGuitar]

@@miketaylor6053 Oh cool man... thanks again for the heads up and thanks for listening - glad you enjoyed the interview. It's actually one my favroites!

[@SBPRODUCTIONS24]

Thanks for a great interview and a special thanks to David for sharing his experiences with alcohol it really helps people who struggle with the same issue.

[@EveryoneLovesGuitar]

Thanks Chad, really appreciate your kind words. I've had a number of players share their story about getting sober, I'll try and make a playlist for it on the front page of my channel. Give me a few days - take a look sometime next week, it should be up. Thanks for listening man.

[@TheMarillionaire]

Such a great interview, allowing David to speak bravo to you Sir! Great to hear such an intimate and interesting view on the man and his music. The fact that he chose to listen to himself and not his missus with the Storyville direction, deserves respect and proves that gut feelings made in the blink of an eye can still work out right. Thoroughly enjoyable and looking forward to listening to more of your interviews. Best Wishes.

[@EveryoneLovesGuitar]

Thanks so much for your kind words, and really glad you enjoyed this interview. It was great to get to know David, and I enjoyed our conversation immensely. Appreciate you listening!

[@chuckdriver8269]

Great interview! Thanks for posting! I feel a kinship with David in that we both grew up listening to music in the same way. One of my favorite guitar players!🇺🇸🎸

[@EveryoneLovesGuitar]

Thanks for listening Chuck, glad you dig it!

[@BradCS356]

Great interview! Looking forward to listening to more (Duke Levine interview was great too!)

[@EveryoneLovesGuitar]

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

[@reginaldconcepcion2660]

Great stuff. Bless up! DG is a cosmic inspiration.

[@EveryoneLovesGuitar]

Thanks Reginald, yes this was a lot of fun for me as well 😀🎼

[@prs22gt10]

What a wonderful interview! Long time Grissom fan, much respect, David opened up here more than I've ever heard. Thank you David for sharing, this really touched me. I was able to get a photo with him after a show at the Guitar Sanctuary in Dallas last year. I appreciated the time he took to talk with me, so humble and engaging. Looking forward to catching another show soon. God bless!

[@EveryoneLovesGuitar]

Ron, glad you liked the interview. David is a really good guy and I enjoyed speaking with him, immensely. Peace!

[@prs22gt10]

Subscribed and enjoying the channel!

[@hydraulics]

Rod Stewart was never going to tell him "do longer solos"

[@EveryoneLovesGuitar]

haha ain't that the truth!

[@Spaceman1968]

I saw Dave with Allman Brothers. I’m friends with his family and I’ve heard some stories about his days with Mellencamp.

[@murrayjimm]

Now watching David on the Austin City Limits show in 1990 with James McMurtry was excellent. As is the video of David with Joe Ely.

[@pateagle7191]

I remember him with Joe Ely in the early eighties on I think it was Austin City Limits. Playing an early PRS and making adjustments on his Marshall on the fly. Thought it was great because you just don't see that kind of rawness anymore at least on the boob tube.

[@davidbusby2550]

good interview.

[@tubetone74]

Why not more thumbs up on the great, long interview.

[@EveryoneLovesGuitar]

Thank you for listening Dave! 🎉🔥😇

[@tubetone74]

@@EveryoneLovesGuitar I really like your interviews. Detailed and you get great info out of your guests. The rapport you establish is key.

[@EveryoneLovesGuitar]

@@tubetone74 Thanks Dave... I really enjoy hosting the show 🙂

[@jboughtin7522]

Loved this interview, great questions, lots of wisdom and I have no trouble believing Dave's mother paid him a visit on stage.

[@EveryoneLovesGuitar]

Thanks J Boughtin, glad you dug it and thanks for listening!

[@neildavidvandenbergh5422]

Fantastic! 👏

[@EveryoneLovesGuitar]

Many thanks!

[@johndrake2729]

I never knew about how Mellencamp treated him. With the exception of "I need a lover", which I really love, I have never been a fan of Mellencamp or his music.
