"Dave's Hideaway" was meant to be a way for my friend Dave Casey to share his decidedly unique perspective on life and music with BluesPlus fans.  We envisioned it as something he would do on a weekly or bi-weekly basis.  He wrote several columns for "Hideaway" that were originally posted on this site in the summer and fall of 2006.
 
I believe that if he had been given the time to pursue it, Dave would have become a great writer.  I first got the idea from the e-mails that he used to send to me.  They were off-the-wall, funny, insane and from time to time touched with genius.
 
Perhaps at some point in the future someone else will turn up with the gift and desire to pick up where Dave left off.  I think he would like that.  I'm certain that we'll find a way for listeners who want to interact with us to do so.  I hope you enjoy the wit and wisdom Dave left behind.  Below is the introduction that I originally wrote for this page.
 
Thanks for listening (and for reading) ... John
 
Note from John Ellis (September 2007):
I recently found two other rough drafts for columns that Dave sent me.  At some point I will edit and post them.

Original Introduction

 

As Written Before Dave's Death In 2007

 

Check out Dave Casey's rants, rambles, & generally off-center view of the world & the way blues (along with jazz & roots) fits into it.  The idea for this column came from our e-mail conversations.  He makes me laugh, think ... and most important ... believe.  If I hadn't met Dave, I would have given up on BluesPlus a long time ago.  So I guess whatever you think of BluesPlus ... now you know who to blame.

   
 

Now, enjoy exploring "The Dave Zone" ... there's more to come.

 

 

 

By the way ... soon you'll have a chance to enter The "DZ" yourself & sound of with your own impressions, opinions & basic attitudes.  Stay tuned.
