    David Replies: Anne, nice to hear from and thx for all the nice comments. As far as Mannekin is concerned, I highly doubt we will be doing any reunion shows but I do keep in touch with the guys. I don't have a Myspace page...it's hard enough to maintain my website and facebook. I like to see what promo photo you have...you should put it on facebook. Well take care and again thanks for writing.

  • I am so excited to come across your website! I worked at American Bands with Theresa and have such fond memories of seeing you guys at Cardi's. I always wondered what happened to you as I felt you were the most talented singer in all of the bands we booked. Glad to hear you are still kickin' it and have such a lovely wife. I still have a Mannekin cassette and 8x10 glossy in my memoriabelia...some of the best of times. Keep on rockin!

    David Replies: Dear karen, Nice to hear from you. Wow American Bands huh, that was so long ago but thank you very much for your comments. Those were some great days. I just spoke with Theresa after all these years through facebook. Well again thanks for signing my guestbook and feel free to write anytime.

  • Hi David, I love your site, I used to see you sing alot here in Texas. I hope that you keep singing! There are so many bands out there who have shitty singers and you are one of the best. Lots of love to you and your family, thanks for all the memories! Rachelle

    David Replies: Rachelle, I do appreciate you writing. I am singing and looking to get back in the biz on a serious level again. Take care of yourself!

  • Hi David just popped in to visit your site..my son Mark really praises your singing on his site so had to see what it was about... We are hoping to visit him in Oct. I see that you have moved so guessing this is why he hasn't mentioned you lately he continues to work on his music its he has put his whole life into this venture... take care and great success in all you do Mary Ann Bensette

  • Man oh Man!! First, let me start with the music. I like it. You are definitely committed to your sound. The band is tight too. I am glad that you were able to keep doing what you love . . . entertain the masses. Now on to more important feedback. I had to have surgery after I looked at your photos. I mean WOW! Talking about a shock to the system. It was really something trying to take all of that in. You have to remember that I have not seen you since 6th grade. I still remember the glasses you wore. Whether you wanted to or not, you provided me with a good laugh. My wife and kids got a chuckle out of this visit as well. I just told them about the dance off we had outside at Brookland Middle. Before I could finish telling the tale, they shouted "Nobody can out dance my daddy!!!" I told them that they were right and laid them down to sleep with visions of your Mighty Mop (hair) and me dancing around it in victory. The girls love their daddy.

    Take it easy David. I am glad that we connected again.

    David Replies: Mario, you have a mind like a steel trap. I can't belive that you remember all of that. I glad we have caught up with each other as well

    But damn that was fun... You turned out to be a great man...needing a great haircut. Hope to see you this summer buddy. UFO is tour too...

  • OMG - I just looked through the photo gallery and saw the Mannekin promo picture and the eagle has landed on my head shot..........I'm not saying a word, just know that I have a huge smile on my face!!!

    My husband cracks up - he can't wait for our grandchildren to grow up enough to hear "grandma" was in the rock business!!! Jamie and I remarried in 87, Shane is now 30 with a 20 month old daughter and another on the way!!

    David Replies: Those pictures bring back so many memories. They are great memories though.

    24 years...........

  • Wow - how many years has it been - I think 24 years - 1985!!!! Well, it's been a long time since I booked bands, but I must say you hold a special place in my heart! I was so glad to see you had a webpage!! John Bloomstrom, American Bands Management.................it seems like a lifetime ago. Young, crazy,...and too many other adjectives to mention. I was so sorry to read about your Mom, she was so sweet when she took in all the care packages!! I know how much you miss her. "Rockford", my Dad has been gone 10 years now. Do you remember the night he won that TV @ Cardi's - he thought he had won the lottery!! So glad to see that you have a wonderful wife, life, and that you are happy! Life is good.........

    David Replies: I can't believe it, is this Theresa H. ? I wondered what happen to you. I do miss my mother and I am glad you got to hang with her some, Mannekin was one of her favorite things in life. I would love to talk to you either by email or phone just to say hello again. Those were some amazing days. Email me if you can so we can catch up.

  • Hey Bro!,

    This is your "favorite" X brother in law Rod from Phoenix going wayyy back. Wow!,where does time and life go? It's been a long time huh?!!I think the last time we saw each other was in Sept,2005 at the Maricopa County Home & GAMBLING show, do u remember? Geez I just had a major flashback of events that you were a big part of and in my life as strange as that sounds, I just now realized this for some reason?...My wife Mary and I still enjoy watching our wedding video from Nov 1994. (Tommy was the video man, remember he kept hitting on all the female guests)You really made a special contribution to our wedding and we appreciate it so much. You should really know that you did! We will never forget it,and we thank you every day! Hey remember your old neighbor "Fred" from the motor home park? What a piece of work he turned out to be... another story for another time. Remember Direct Tv days?.. Geez we are getting old...Its good to see you are happy, and happily married and enjoying life. We were not aware you had moved out of AZ! (Thanks Rhonda!) I can relate though...This Arizona desert sucks! Theres nothing exciting been happening here. We are still in business selling slot machines and Gaming equipment. Please keep in touch Bro and take good care. Let us know if you ever have a need for a slot or video poker machine. We will hook you up! You can always contact us from our website www.AzSlot.com - Take care David, we love ya!

    Rod and Mary

    David Replies: Hey Guys, it has been a long time...very nice to hear from you! I am not surprised Rhonda didn't tell you I moved but it was time for a change. I appreciate what you wrote, I am glad that I was able to contribute to you two on your wedding day. I am very happy and love my life with my wife Pam, she is amazing to say the least. As far as needing a slot machine, I will just go to vegas for that. I could use a mega-touch if you have the inside on that. Well thanks again for writing, I was very pleasantly surprised to hear from you. Take care and keep in touch
