More death. Last summer, an old friend died. David Somerville. Known in the last third of his amazing career as "Diamond Dave," he played to fans across the country including a run in Branson, Missouri. The old tunes. His voice that will always be remembered by the falsetto 'la la la la la laaaaaaaaaaa' in Little Darlin' and countless folk songs back in the sixties and seventies when "David Troy" played the folkie scene.
David was my friend. We last had lunch at The Good Neighbor and remembered some good times as far back as our meeting in Disneyland in the sixties.
David's wife, Denise, is now lumbered with some heavy bills that came as he struggled through the last days of his life. He died at the age of 81: a true gentleman to the last. Denise and David's son, Landa, are now faced with some final bills and are asking friends and fans to pitch in to help with these last expenses. Any amount will be gratefully accepted. Here's the link to the gofundme account where it'll be easy to contribute a buck or two. Please do.
