I am sorry to have missed you people on CDC chat last night, but, in addition to my computer freezing, I was just really tired and wanted my bed.

I read the CDC transcript and it looks like veryone had a great time. It was neat reading Brett’s comments – what a sweet, considerate gentleman!

I just wanted to say that I hope you’re feeling better and I’m sorry I missed you on the CDC chat last night. From what Brett said, David’s album is going to be very exciting. We have a lot to look forward to!

Take care

Brett was able to answer a few questions from the very chatty janey….

janey: Brett, is David overwhelmed by all the fuss…does he understand his influence?
Brett: janey…he does now…he was overwhelmed…I don’t think he is now

janey: Brett…sorry if already asked…have you read David’s songs
Brett: I have heard several of the new ones…oh my…absolutely amazing….absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

janey: Brett, sorry if already talked about..can you tell us about the choice of album cover…what does David want us to know..what image does he think it represents?
Brett: janey he hasn’t told me that…but I believe it’s to be taken seriously for all…imho
janey: Brett..do you like the cover?
Brett: I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brett: David’s writings (personal songs) are out of this world…that’s what’s gonna keep him around forever!

janey: BRett, is it important to David to achieve commercial success?
Brett: janey…commercial success…not one tiny bit…means absolutely nothing to him…absolutely nothing!!!!
janey: in a sense though, some success gives him more opportunity to reach more people and to share himself with them
rett: Janey that’s true…but David would tell you he doesn’t give a hoot about being famous…he jsut loves singing and whens people say there lives have changed for the better…that keeps him going…the rest just falls in line

janey: What’s the best way for us to let David know how much he’s done for us?
tt: David would tell you…just do good to others and that’s a payback to him…honestly it’s that simple and I say keep buying his cd’s…lol

Brett answers many more of our questions mostly between the 7:58 and 9:16 marks. He covers questions regarding David serving a mission, a possible concert in the spring in SLC, and lots of other things.

Still under the weather here, so please bear with me. I am moving at such a slow pace and still trying to teach. Plus I am involved in a huge fundraiser this Saturday.

and the text;

“guess…aaahh, dangit!—guess…aaahh, dangit!—guess…aaahh, dangit!—Hey, it’s David! I’ve been listening to your questions…and they’re pretty awesome. I’ve picked a couple of them here to answer, and the first one is from Melissa. And she’s from Connecticut. And she asked if I was writing any of my own songs, and Melissa, I actually have been! *heh,heh* I’ve written a few before in the past, and lately, for this first album project I’ve been writing a lot more than I ever have been and it’s been a lot of fun. And actually this past week, I’ve been doing a lot of writing sessions with other people –other AMAAAZING songwriters and it’s been SOO cool to be working with all these different people, especially with writing because…you know, it’s something I’ve always wanted to, um, learn how to, you know, EXPAND *heh* in that area of music…and also, you know, working with people who’ve written some of my favorite songs, even, it’s just soooo crazy, it’s like “I can’t believe I’m, writing a song with you” *heh* But… it’s been so much fun…I…there’s just been been……..a BIIIG jump from even a few weeks ago with my songwriting…just, such…I’ve, like, learned so much and increased so much in confidence and I’m just looking forward to writing even more, so *heh* thaaat’s…the answer for that question…AAAND…that’s it for now… I guess….aahh, dangit!

OMGoshMCL! I don’t think I have the patience for this, waiting until Nov. 11 is too much to ask!

btw, how are you feeling?

I do appreciate your effort in contacting your friend. I didn’t think the two were related, but, you never know.

Warm salt water is my friend for now. Thank you so much Marc.

I sure hope you’re feeling better today. My good friend is a dentist so I called him this morning to ask if your gum / tooth infection could have anything to do with you having the flu.

He said it’s very unlikely that a cold, flu etc will cause a tooth or gum infection. A sinus infection can sometimes make your upper teeth hurt, not the flu.

Just thought I’d let you know. Get well soon!
