and moved to the Thousand Islands
Playhouse. Love & Larceny (co-
written by Douglas Bowie)
premiered at Thousand Islands
where David had been musical
director and composer for the Young
Company for several years.
Closer to home, he recently
completed one of his award winning
song-writing workshops with
students from Clinton Public
School. And now David is back for a
second year of Dear Johnny Deere
on the Blyth Festival stage.
But David’s greatest body of work
embraces Canadian history and
culture and the natural landscape.
National Parks have commissioned
David to write and record
collections on their natural and
cultural history. Resulting
recordings include Pukaskwa: Songs
of Superior , for the National Park
on Lake Superior, as well as
Savannah, Sand and Butterflies for
the Pinery and Legends and Lore of
the Charleston Shore for Charleston
Lake Provincial Park. Spirit of the
Inland Sea reflects on the marine
heritage of the Great Lakes. St.
Nora’s Tower and Titanic: Pride of
the White Star Line are other
memorable recordings which
embrace history and marine culture.
David’s interactive live
performances in parks across
Ontario have become camper
favourites.

Festival box office, The Dutch Store,

then the Singers have performed in

to present a high standard of choral
singing.
