Lucky Woman

"Good morning Beth:

Just to let you know that I saw David and Craig last night at St. Andrew's Church and was once again moved to tears...something about your old man does it to me. You're a very lucky woman, he speaks constantly of how lucky he is to have you. Anyway, just thought I would let you know how much I enjoyed last night... " S.

Dancing to David

"To David,

Recently my husband & I along with our 7 week old daughter attended your performance at the Alix Goolden Hall in Victoria. We made the trip from Campbell River which is a three hour drive normally, but with a 7 week old takes a little longer. Seeing you perform live had special meaning to me. When my daughter was born, your CD was one of the top five that played in the Disc player for about the first month. We danced around the living room for many hours and your music had a soothing effect. The concert was no different. Although she slept through your entire performance, I would like to believe that on a subconscious level hearing your music live will imprint on her memory. I would have introduced you to her after the performance, but it was passed her bedtime. We hope to see you perform again one day."D.& Z.

Request for Anthems

"Hi David, (and to Beth because I think I know you so well)

No doubt David you hear over and over how much people love your concerts. Not just the music but the wonderful stories. And as we had touched on, sometimes a person has to come from a not so nice place to come up with that. Thankfully counting blessings is not going to cramp creativity one little bit! I would really love to hear you do more “anthem-y” songs. Your voice, besides being wonderful at that intensity, has a marvelous essence.

Looking forward to seeing you again." K.I.

Last Night in Vermillion

"Hi – I was David Francey’s concert with Craig Werth last night in Vermilion, Alberta. As always, it was an absolutely wonderful show. I have been listening to the new album, Right of Passage, ever since, and it is terrific." L.S.

Thanks from a Wordsmith

"Mr. Francey,

A good morning to you.

First, I’m a fan of your music. While I haven’t had the pleasure of hearing you in person, I’ve spent many days working, driving, etc. with your songs playing during which I drift between active and passive listening. I appreciate the convergence of musicality and poetry! , and your ability to poetically articulate the essence and meaning of ‘place’. So, thanks for that!

Second, I grew up in a tiny town just south of the Manitoba-Minnesota border in an agricultural/small town, hockey culture. ‘Skating rink’ is the winters of my childhood; ‘Torn screen door’ names a reality quite close to home as well…among others. Cheers!

Finally, my lot and joy in life is working with words. I teach homiletics... Were my students (and myself for that matter) able to weave words toward an expression of reality as your lyrics, I’d feel quite good. So, thanks for the words!

All that said, best wishes."

On a Postcard from Newfoundland!

I had the pleasure of being at your show at the Ship last night. I think your songs and music are flat out some of the best I've ever heard. They are thought through and delivered with such sincerity and passion it makes it hard to look away. I want to thank you for coming back to our small town. Having you here makes us a richer community and when you feel like it (and I think I speak for everyone) we will welcome you with open arms and hearts. Your unassuming demeanor and kind words make you a very special person. All the best. R. F.

A Hit in Port Hawksbury!
