From David to Silvia’s friends & family

Recently I wrote to David and informed him that a copy of his message about Silvia’s passing was attached to her coffin at her funeral on the 22nd Oct.  I thanked David for his message and this is his reply. As you can see, David was happy for me to publish his letter.

 You’re welcome Jane…I believe that WE (humans) have only each other on this earth. The concept that we take with us just ourselves and what experiences we have with others while on this earth, is what I believe. You can’t take “stuff” or money or things that some people place great value on, and view them as LIFE. We are what we make of our lives and what we do with that life. I choose to love and to try and make a very positive impact and or difference in touching other people’s life. I do so because I have a choice. We all do. Most of us are caught up in ourselves so much, we miss the opportunities to truly share our feelings, compassion, caring, or even just listening to another human’s voice. I heard your sadness and the loss in yours. I’ve gotten a lot more from reaching out and giving, than I ever would receiving. You and I and all of the people that Silvia touched herself…We are richer to have known her. Even I, so distant and so far away, feel a certain loss. It’s because Silvia herself reached out with LOVE to me. She evidently was that way to many others, based on what you’ve shared with me… God Bless her spirit and her friends like yourself Jane, and her family. Do you see how one person has the ability to make the choice to be a LOVING person????? We all do. And that’s what I choose to do with the time I’m here. Knowing now what I’ve learned about Silvia, you may share this letter with any of her friends through my website and post it if you’d like. I’m sure many got to know her as being my loving supportive fan as she was….God Bless and Happy Trails…David 

Condolences

I was very sad to hear of Silvia’s death. Silvia was a wonderful, loving and supportive person.
I was very touched by her creativity and kindness. I love the shirt that she made for me.
Sue, Beau and I send our heartfelt condolences to Silvia’s family and friends.
David.

Thank you for your support.

To all my fans,

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your support. My personal journey with my mother’s long illness and her disappearing has been a very painful journey. As I continue to work with the Alzheimer’s Research and Prevention Foundation I will bring you as much information as I can as to what we can do. I invite you to bring as many friends as possible to my Facebook page as we all need to know more about Alzheimer’s.

I have just recorded a 30 second and a 15 second PSA regarding Alzheimer’s while I was in New Jersey recently. It will probably go to air in a couple of weeks after it has been edited.
I encourage you all to learn more and, if possible, donate to the The Alzheimer’s Research & Prevention Foundation.

I appreciate your offer of support regarding my litigation with Sony. I will consult my attorneys about what would be the most appropriate thing to do and let you know.

I am intending to do a live video stream from my home at Christmas time. I will bring you more details on this in the near future.

My thanks again for your support,
David.

Some News

To all my fans,

Some great news first – The Count Basie theatre has just released 100 seats. I hope to see some of you at this concert.

It is with great sadness that I have had to resort to litigation against Sony. I have tried to get them to be partners with me and come to an agreement. It makes me terribly sad that I have had to resort to this. I would like you to support me more than ever at this time. I hope to see you soon at a concert.

I will be appearing on MSNBC between 10 – 10:30am Thursday.

Much love,
David.

Thank you.

Thank you to everyone who has sent me messages. I do get online and I have read your messages. I appreciate all of you that take the time to contact me. Please know that I care deeply for you all.

I have been incredibly busy lately, including helping Beau and his band, The Fates, with a new video and some new tracks. In the near future I will be shooting a PSA regarding Alzheimer’s. I will also be going to Capitol Hill to ask for more funding for Alzheimer’s research projects.

I hope to see some of you at my next concerts.

Love

David
