Dave's Record Collection
Everything you need to know about a person, according to Stephen Stanley, can be found in their record collection. Here's mine. It's all ya need to know!
I've been blessed to have great parents, an awesome brother, a beautiful wife, and the best son a guy could ever ask for. Though I own a web and marketing company (DANIMA Creative Group) and I have a degree in Phys-Ed from York University, music has always been the central focus of my life. From collecting records to DJing, from Light of Day Canada to Evan Rotella Music, there has always been one common theme in my life, music. As you will see here at daverotella.com, it's all about the music!
As Joe Walsh once wrote... "Life's been good to me...so far"!
First off, I want to send out my love and deepest condolences to Rick's beautiful wife Rosa, his son Jake, his daughter Melanie, and all his friends and family. I'm truly sorry for your loss.
It's not a coincidence that my favorite album of all-time will always be Stevie Van Zandt's "Men Without Women" (and I am so glad I was able to tell him when I met him in Buffalo) and my favorite show will always be Little Steven & The Disciples of Soul at the University of Buffalo when I first met Steven,...when he told this little 16-year-old kid about this great new Bruce album, "Born In The USA", that was coming out.
For me the best part of ANY concert is watching people's smiles, watching people sing, watching them dance, and just lose themselves in the music, in the moment. Mostly though, it's seeing the kids....the future of our music with their parents...watching them in their concert experience...singing the words, laughing, smiling and feeling "that" joy that we have all experienced.
