David Stack

Acoustic Guitar on:
Through Her Window

Dave, from Superior, WI, has been playing guitar in the Twin Ports for just over 40 years. In the sixties he was the lead guitar player for the popular band, the Del Rays. He played in the Bill Isles Band in 2000 and 2001. He is a regular accompanist for several area singers and songwriters including an annual appearance at the Bayfield (WI) Apple Festival. He is the only bank president to appear on this album. 

Bill's Notes: Dave is one of my closest friends and confidants. We met at an open mic in the winter of 99/00 at Amazing Grace Bakery in Duluth's Canal Park. One day he said, "I've worked up a lead part for one of your songs, want to hear it?" That began a friendship that has transcended music. His love of music and encouragement to me has been one of the most important factors in my "sticking with it". Dave taught me the finger-styling run that evolved into "I Can't Take You Home". When we played together as a band, Dave was always the voice of reason and also the guy whose guitar playing always got the applause. Still does.
