The only country music superstar that actually took time to have a conversation with me. He was just standing in the crowd before the show. I walked up, introduced myself and my wife, asked him about the inspiration for some of his songs. I then told him I was looking for a record (Jimmy Buffett doesn't live in Key West anymore). He showed me where I could find it. Shook my hand and walked on to the next fan.

DAC is world famous but still hasn't gotten the credit he deserves. He is on a level with the greatest country song writers of all time. He never backed off or made excuses for his history and that made the big boys in the music business afraid of him. It made the fans love him more. He is the original and true outlaw who , more than likely, inspired the entire country outlaw thing. As far as I know it was only DAC/HAG/PAYCHECK that actually did any time.

Well I just got a call from David's and my 15yr. old daughter uspet what was said, here again I see why! Yeah he is an ex but I was only 16 when were married and only, I was pregnant within 2 months, and "Look, we are still very close, please think of people like kid's when you write your ugly comments, as I don't have 1 bad thing to say about the man and I sure have a beautiful daughter thanks partly to him and how many of ya'll's ex's would say that"? yes I believe the age difference was just a # to me! He is a perfection with his work and for many years David did it all,bookings, management , writing and entertains by giving all of himself to his shows. He's done something right as he has many millions of fan's! That's to all the good comments..

[@onyxsiniardi]

I’m just seeing this comment. I have the same kind of relationship with my ex who I met when I was just 16. Love him to death and a great father I was too young and I grew out of the relationship. Funny I knew David’s brother Jack. DAC came to Buffalo a few times and I enjoyed the hell out of him and he was always good people when he would come play our local dive bars One if the most down to earth musicians in history. Tell your daughter that she’s got the best fuckin’ parents in the world besides my kids parents. 😘 peace to you and your family
