"Texas singer/songwriter Dave Larsen has spent most of the last thirty-five years crisscrossing the Southwest and the Midwest singing and playing his songs in bars, clubs, halls, coffehouses, colleges and picket lines--wherever an appreciative audience has gathered. Through his travels he developed an admiration for the lore of the people and for the landscape of the great heartland. His songs tell those tales with the utmost affection and understanding. His love of country is not some sentimental, self-aggrandizing brand of patriotism, but a deep and abiding respect for the land and the working people who inhabit it. Farmers, immigrants, miners, ranchers, migrant laborers and drifters are the characters in his well-crafted narratives. The Southwest Songwriters Association has recognized him for "Excellence in Songwriting" and he continues to compose with the same reverence for the spirit of the folk tradition that earned him that commendation." "In his latest collection of songs, STILL I DREAM...OF AMERICA, Dave again offers hope to those who yearn for the recognition that we stand on the shoulders of giants, our hard-working, persevering ancestors. Epic threads, unrolled from spools of droughts, dust-filled skies, forgotten warriors, prairie nights, simple and honest loves, and hard-working families, are skillfully embroidered into a work of art. We are presented three-chord short stories with an occasional minor chord thrown in, each providing an insightful examination of the human condition, something that seems to be lost in most of today''s market-driven pop music."
