Laying down the bottom on many of the All Dave All Night CD tracks is Clarence Mayhew. Inadvertantly named 'Mayhem' in a simple typo; but ould easily describe him. Clarence is an accomplished performer and recording artist as a solo act. His recent CD release 'Bedlam' is unlike anyhting you may have heard. You would be doing yourself an injustice not to check Clarence out. Clarence apppears on 'Welcome To Florida', 'Nishka Blue', 'Love Is A Weapon' and 'Desperate'. Clarence also played on the track 'Honey Bee' that will be released at another time. Clarence and his wife Amber reside in Orange City, Florida.

Kenny always knew we were 'counting on him'. An avid Washington Redskin fan; Kenny was always solid on his tracks in the Koyote recording sessions. Kenny and his wife Jennifer reside in DeLand, Florida and he is originally from Chesapeake, Va.

Kenny played the skins on 'Welcome To Florida', 'Love Is A Weapon', 'Desperate' and 'Nishka Blue'. Kenny also played on 'Honey Bee'; that has yet to be released.

Kenny is an amazing drummer with a sold groove and we were lucky to have him on board. Call him the 'One Take wnder of the world...just dont call him 'Shirley'.

Rich was the voice of calm in a storm and a guitar wizard all his own. Rich and I met and began to play a few acoustic gigs in the months leading up to the Koyotes recording sessions. His supporting vocals were as timely and 'dead on' as his fearsome hollow bodied Gibson gutar attack. Rich played guitars on 'Welcome To Florda', 'Love Is A Weapon', 'Nishka Blue', 'Gunslinger' and 'Desperate' (12 string acoustic) that appear on the new CD. He added bass on 'Marianne; I Wanna Do Stuff'. Rich also played on 'Honey Bee'...yet to be released.

Additional musicians for 'All Dave All Night' listed in CD credits.
