Music career focus: To do what brings me one of my greater joys in life, playing music. And if I can make other people happy in the process, that's even more incentive.

Personal Statement:

Dave Chisolm: "I've never met a musician that I couldn't and didn't learn something from. In the course of my playing, I've learned music theory, music technique, how to play from my heart, how to better handle the ups and downs of life and most importantly “how to play well with others.”
