The very same  big band sound that filled America's dance and concert halls over a half century ago is alive and swingin' right here baby!
             

 

Dave Westfall ?  Guitar

This was as good as a picture as we had, taken during a concert in downtown Weaverville, shot with a telephoto lens from a grassy knoll overlooking the Highland Art Center. The agents taking the picture asked that we keep their identity a secret. Dave isn't talking, either.

Dave is another of the fine Redding musicians that graduated from Shasta High School, where he was a mysterious force in the music department, helping it win many awards and staying mostly out of trouble. Dave was lost in the wilds of Oregon for a while, but mysteriously returned to Redding for  the Christmas gig for the Rivercity Jazz Society, December 2008.

We haven't heard much from Dave lately, but some of Ken Reed's contacts in Canada have reported strange goings-on in the tundra...
