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

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. Now a quasi-freshman at Shasta College, Dave will soon be lost to the Straight Ahead Big Band as he heads for a major university program. 

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