South Side Diner is Dave's third independent CD. Recorded on a four-track in his basement in Colorado in 1998, South Side Diner features mostly solo acoustic songs. From 1995-1998, Dave spent almost all of his time traveling throughout the United States, performing at coffeehouses and listening rooms in over 40 states. South Side Diner contains songs written during that time, songs of life on the road as well as Dave's signature love songs. On a few tracks, Dave is accompanied by the beatiful harmony vocals of Jenny Goodspeed. Dirty Linen magazine called South Side Diner "the best contemporary folk recording that I have heard in a very, very long time." (Feb./Mar.'99)
