David Lawrence Markham was born in Holyoke Massachusetts in 1963. He began playing the piano at the age of three and the guitar at the age of 15. He also began writing songs at that age. His music is unique with a style influenced by many artists and composers. You could classify his guitar music as modern folk and his keyboard music as modern chill or easy listening. The Dusty Brown album is music that accompanies an allegory book length poem that is to be read while listening to the music. You can find it here. http://www.davidmarkham.org/music/ (All the music, lyrics and poem are copyrighted.) It is about rabbits that talk to one another by thinking poetry in the form of songs. It was submitted to five or six recording companies as a collection for children and turned down. But never-the-less has been more for David's own personal enjoyment and healing. You can read more about his musical influences and history in the journal on the www.Last.Fm profile. Enjoy the music!
