Era Banner November 7, 2006 - Front Page Article On David Howard

erabannerpic "His fingers glide effortlessly over a custom neck with a speed and grace that could only been the result of practising eight to 12 hours a day for years. One listens in awe as he picks each string on the guitar to create precise notes that, when strung together, create a melody inviting to the ears. Specializing in Spanish Flamenco music, his style is uncommon." (Teresa Latchford- Era Banner Tuesday, November 7, 2006)

"Spanish music is sensual, fast and exciting, on the verge of rock music and that's why I love it. Music is the healing art and it is very important to share it with others." (David Howard -Era Banner Tuesday, November 7, 2006)

erabannerpic "He (David) remembers a teary-eyed woman approaching him after a performance. She told him she had been going through a rough time and hearing his music had soothed her soul."(David Howard -Era Banner Tuesday, November 7, 2006)

"David Howard remembers tuning his father's guitar by ear at six (years of age) without any electronic gadgets. 'It bothered my ears when a guitar was out of tune,' Mr. Howard laughed. 'I also found that I could write music in my head at that young age.'"(David Howard -Era Banner Tuesday, November 7, 2006)
