DAVID SHRIVER
THE PASSING OF A LEGEND AND A FRIEND

PHOTO BY DENNIS SHAINE

David Shriver was a legend that you maybe never heard of . He was Eddie Cochran's Bass player in 1957 and he
was the musical director for the Trini Lopez band which became a Platinum selling act who toured with
The Beatles and went around the world at least twenty-five times. David Shriver was one of the very first
Bass players to evern be endorsed / sponsored by Fender Guitars. More on this amazing man and a guy
who was a major supporter of Damn Good Tunes will be coming later this month from Rocky Nelson.
For now, please see the tribute site we have built for David Shriver HERE

Bill Tracy is a great entertainer who sings well and plays his guitar hot! Though I have not
had the pleasure to meet Bill in person yet, I can attest that I gigged with his Bassist
Jim Nordgren in Las Vegas. Jim is an outstanding musician who knows how to keep
the fun in the music - always surrounding himself with great players. Together with
Bill Tracy, Dave and Aziz, this has got to be one hell of a band! Click the photo
and go direct to Bill's website for more information, video and music!
