Yeah this is my pal...Guess what his nick name is? DIRTY DAVE (The Record Slave)...My good friend pictured above has been a record collector since he was a kid. Today this freak has a master collection of over 90,000 records. He also does mobile DJ shows and is one of the only reliable guys doing it. He has done hundreds of shows for weddings, Bar Mitzvahs, birthdays (you get the idea!)......Dirty loves the Taco House and we meet there now & then & he always has the exact same thing.
Dirty is one street wise dude. He can see a con artist from a mile away......Dirty will not wear a coat when its 30 degrees out. When I took this mug shot of him, he knew I was up to no good.....I play practical gags on Dirty all the time. I can't get Dirty to try different foods....He is very set in his ways. Dirty is a Grand Father now.....Has a real cute little girl. Dirty & his Wife are enjoying that
"oooooooh she is so cute" stuff. I have had dreams of Dirty as a guest on a game show where Wink Martindale asks him " In 1963 a rock band was selected over the Beatles during an audition to be signed on a record label...which band was it for One Million Dollars.......(then the clock ticks & Dirty puts his finger to his forehead thinking....and belts out...THE TREMELOES! and the crowd goes nuts & confetti drops from the studio ceiling!!!! You see....Dirty is a walking encyclopedia when it comes to the rock n roll....You can ask him what is the flip side of a 1950's Buddy Holly 45 RPM and he will nail it....and he will add where the "A" side charted and how many weeks it made it after going hit bound. When I was doing a oldies show on the radio, my friend Dirty showed up for almost every gig.....bringing boxes of songs in that the radio station never had....Listeners would love trying to stump him on trivia....He became a big part of the show...and when Dirty had to do a mobile dj gig, the radio show lost it's steam. Dirty Dave is a special pal. Hey it was the Tremeloes right Dirty?
