David
de Young
- musician, writer, performer, photographer

|
Kari began
backing David in his original songs in the early 1990's and
he began booking her band Thorn at the old 24 Bar.
He has
supported Kari's work in many ways. Contributing to the completion
of the Yuletide Celebration CD and lending his his talents
as a pianist and singer to the Kari Tauring and Friends Discovering
Origins/Building Traditions project since the first show
in 1999 are central to the success of both ventures.

His ability
to create celebration and community is obvious as he leads the carolling
before each year's Yule show. His sweet tenor voice and spiritual
depth create beauty in the song "The
Well" , a song about the duality of male and female energy
in the divine and in ourselves. He has contributed his original
spoken word, songs, and drumming as the Warrior character in the
South.
David also influenced
Kari to write her Rune Book and keep
an active presence on the world wide web. The two share a core of
spiritual practices such as dream work
and Tai Chi.
"I am so grateful for my long friendship with David. He is
an extraordinary man!"
He has been
nominated for many awards for his web site www.howwastheshow.com,
a site for music reviews. Yet another way David creates community
and celebrates sound!
